Quality over quantity
We care more about original, thoughtful content than just filling slots.
If you have something genuinely useful or interesting to share, we’d love to have you as a speaker.
Sales pitches
It’s totally fine to highlight your product, framework, or service.
But straight-up sales pitches—especially reused ones—won’t make the cut.
Inclusivity
We welcome speakers from every background and experience level.
If you’d like to speak but need support or accommodations, let us know. We’ll do what we can to help.
Be nice!
We won’t publish anything offensive or disrespectful.
We’re here to learn, share, and have fun, let’s keep it that way.
CFP Description
Conf42 Platform Engineering 2026
First things first, please watch the CFP tips and tricks video - 5 minutes. It will increase your chances of having your talk accepted.
Let’s talk about building the platforms that make everything else possible.
If you spend your days creating golden paths, managing internal developer portals, improving CI/CD pipelines, or figuring out how to balance flexibility and standardization, this event’s for you.
We’ll dig into what’s working (and what’s not) in the world of platform engineering:
- Designing and maintaining internal developer platforms
- Automating infrastructure, environments, and delivery workflows
- Balancing developer autonomy with reliability and compliance
- Measuring platform success and developer experience
- Integrating observability, cost management, and security
- Platform teams, product thinking, and scaling best practices
- Real-world lessons from evolving DevOps into platform engineering
Come hang out with engineers and platform builders shaping how modern teams ship software. Share what you’ve learned and pick up a few ideas to make your platform smoother, faster, and more developer-friendly.

Hope to see you there,
