Announcing cdCon 2026: A CDF Intensive on AI, Security, and Platform Engineering

By March 20, 2026Announcement, Blog

The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) is bringing the community together for cdCon 2026, designed as a focused Intensive exploring the technologies shaping the future of modern software delivery: AI, security, and platform engineering.

As software systems become more complex and increasingly powered by open source and AI-driven capabilities, organizations must rethink how they build, deliver, and secure software. CI/CD pipelines now support distributed platforms, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI workloads, while security expectations and software supply chain risks continue to grow. cdCon 2026 is built for practitioners navigating this change.

Why attend this conference?

cdCon is intentionally designed as an intensive learning experience, bringing together DevOps leaders, platform engineers, security practitioners, and open source contributors to explore how the industry is evolving and how teams can stay ahead.

The conference will feature two keynotes and deep technical sessions covering:

  • AI in CI/CD and Platform Engineering – practical uses of AI for pipeline optimization, observability, and intelligent automation
  • Platform Engineering – building scalable internal developer platforms that improve developer productivity and operational consistency
  • Software Supply Chain Security – integrating security, SBOMs, provenance, and policy enforcement directly into CI/CD workflows
  • The CDF Ecosystem – real-world insights from projects including Jenkins, CDEvents, Ortelius, Spinnaker, and more
