Iβm currently looking for a venue host for Cloud Native Rejekts Amsterdam on Saturday, 21 March 2026 (right before KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, 23β26 March, Amsterdam).
Rejekts is the community βB-sideβ event that gives a second chance to awesome talks that didnβt make it into KubeCon β and because of the timing, a lot of attendees are already in town that weekend. Expect a high-signal crowd: engineers, platform teams, SREs, maintainers, and CNCF contributors.
Why host Rejekts?
β
Support the open-source / cloud-native community in a meaningful way
β
Connect with a highly relevant technical audience ahead of KubeCon
β
Build goodwill + visibility (without turning it into a sales event)
Status: CFP is closed with ~250 speaker submissions (thank you!!) and the org team/process is ready to go.
What weβre looking for (roughly):
Space for a conference-style Saturday (ideally 2 rooms/tracks + common area)
Solid Wi-Fi + basic A/V (projectors/screens, mics)
Weβre not expecting catering (coffee is nice but not required)
If your company has an office/event space in Amsterdam and this might be feasible, comment or DM me β happy to share attendance ranges + timing + A/V checklist.
