Cloud Native Zürich 2026 Thu, June 11, 2026

The conference entry includes a tasty breakfast to start the day, followed by a lunch that provides an opportunity to recharge and mingle with other attendees. After the conference, enjoy a networking apero for informal discussions and building relationships in a laid-back setting.

If your employer is paying for your attendance, please choose this ticket.

Cloud Native Zürich gets more expensive to run each year, and we want to keep the standard ticket as affordable as possible for students, freelancers, and community members paying out of their own pocket.

We won’t be checking how you attend, but if you can expense it, we kindly ask you to pick this option. Your support helps us keep the community strong and our events open to everyone.

❤️At the end of the day, we’d much rather see you at the conference than worry about the extra CHF 70.- so if this is a stretch for you, please come on the regular ticket.
