What we are looking for

What we are looking for

PlatformCon San Francisco is a 25-minute talk format, in front of 300+ platform engineers from enterprise and technology organizations across North America.

We are primarily looking for thought leadership talks and enterprise case studies.
Enterprise case studies

This theme dives into the underlying technologies and practices that make platforms work. Talks and workshops cover infrastructure, Kubernetes, IaC, GitOps, security, observability and other foundational components that form the “platform beneath the platform.”

Thought leadership

Where platform engineering is heading. Frameworks, mental models, and hard-won lessons from practitioners in the field.

From IDPs to Agentic Development Platforms

How to build the platforms of tomorrow enabling collaborative software development between engineers and AI agents.

Platform as product

Securing stakeholder buy-in, driving genuine adoption, and measuring ROI. The business and human side of the work.

Building for new user groups

New platform types that need to serve data engineers that want to ship machine learning workloads, same as business users who want to deploy vibe coded apps.
