Cloud Native Telco Day
2026-03-23 09:00 - 17:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | RAI Amsterdam, Netherlands
LFN is proud to partner with Project Sylva to co-sponsor Cloud Native Telco Day, happening 23 March in Amsterdam (co-located with KubeCon+CloudNativeCon EU)!
Communication and Digital Service providers are rapidly adopting the latest CNCF technologies, transforming their infrastructure to become more agile to address end user demands with no compromise on security. AI and Agentic AI systems are not only blurring the lines between the network and the Cloud, but also introducing intelligent automation that enables autonomous network operations and self-optimizing infrastructure. This creates new synergy opportunities between the CNCF ecosystem, AI-driven fields, and industry verticals. CNCF is at the heart of cloud native open source enabling technologies that will realize the AI driven Telco and realise digital experiences of the future. The Cloud Native Telco Day brings together the networking and cloud native open source communities, where the Telco industry collaborates with the CNCF community to share lessons learned and new concepts applicable across both worlds.
Don’t miss the LFN and Sylva booth, where you can chat with community members and gab some swag!
