CloudFest 2026 is already in the pipeline! Once again this coming March, Europa-Park Rust will transform into the meeting point for the global cloud and hosting community. Experts, providers, and visionaries will exchange ideas on current developments, innovations, and future trends – live, in person, and full of inspiration. Mark your calendar now and join the biggest industry event of the year!

The international industry gathering CloudFest 2026 will take place from 23rd to 26th March 2026 at Europa-Park Rust. As the world’s leading event for internet and cloud infrastructure, CloudFest promises to set new standards once again this year. Over 10,000 participants from more than 80 countries, around 250 speakers, and more than 150 partner companies are expected to actively shape the future of the internet.

Under the motto “The Sustainability of Everything”, CloudFest 2026 addresses the question of how technological innovation and sustainable growth can be combined. In various topic tracks, the theme is examined from different perspectives: from Cybersecurity & Compliance, which deals with trust, regulation, and resilience in the AI era, through AI-Powered Cloud Solutions, exploring the practical application and energy efficiency of artificial intelligence in cloud environments, to Corporate IT Evolved, which focuses on the further development of modern DevOps cultures and organisational structures. Other key areas include Data Sovereignty, the sovereign handling of data in a world of increasing digital boundaries, as well as Finding the Future, where strategic foresight, sustainable scaling, and new business models are central. Big Ideas for Smarter Internet Infrastructure looks beyond everyday technology and concentrates on strategic thinking: How can systems be developed that endure long-term, scale responsibly, and create real value for people and organisations — where sustainability and performance come together. Together, these themes provide a comprehensive view of how tomorrow’s internet infrastructure can be designed responsibly, securely, and sustainably.

Even in 2026, CloudFest remains true to its commitment to continuous development – and it comes with exciting new features. For the first time, the CloudFest Lab creates an approximately 800 square metre space that serves as a stage, café, and exhibition area all in one. Here, new ideas are meant to grow, collaborations to form, and creativity to become tangible – the central hub for交流 and inspiration. Also new is the Street Food Festival, which brings culinary diversity directly onto the event grounds with numerous food trucks. Additionally, the layout of Europa-Park has been expanded: alongside new locations – such as the “Spanish Server Throwing Arena” – an updated hall plan provides better orientation and more space for encounters. With the new concept of six Topic Tracks instead of daily sub-themes, CloudFest 2026 deepens its thematic structure and creates greater focus on sustainable solutions along the entire technology chain. The programme is complemented by the newly introduced Beer Garden at the Dome and a professionally equipped Podcast Studio, where live productions are created on site. Of course, well-established formats such as the Hackathon, the Loud in the Cloud Party, the ConneXion Night, and the legendary BierFest Finale remain core parts of the programme – CloudFest 2026 combines innovation and tradition like few other industry events.
