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 Site Reliability 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 what really makes systems reliable.
If you spend your days keeping services running, fighting off incidents, managing alerts, or automating your way out of chaos, this event’s for you.
We’ll dig into what’s working (and what’s not) in the world of site reliability engineering:
- Real stories from incident response and postmortems
- Smarter ways to handle observability and alerting
- Scaling reliability across microservices and distributed systems
- Chaos engineering and building systems that fail gracefully
- Balancing reliability, velocity, and cost
- Platform reliability, automation, and runbook simplification
- What culture, communication, and trust mean in high-stakes environments
Come hang out with folks who’ve been there, share what you’ve learned, and pick up a few ideas to make your next outage a little less painful.

Hope to see you there,
Mark
