Platform engineering is the discipline of designing and building toolchains and workflows that enable self-service capabilities for software engineering organizations in the cloud-native era.

Platform Engineering

I’m excited to share <!here> that PlatformCon is coming back!:fire::rocket: We’ve just launched the website for PlatformCon 2025, and this year is going to be bigger and better than ever before.

We are *doubling down massively* on all the best formats from last year. And we’re focusing more on building and connecting more than ever.

There will be the usual virtual track with a 150+ talks from the biggest names in the same, but we will also have 12+ hours of hands-on platform engineering workshops.

But most important of all - we’re going to have not 1, but TWO PlatformCon Live Days. <https://platformcon.com/live-day-london|One in London>, and one in <https://platformcon.com/live-day-nyc|New York city>.

We’re optimising fully on what people loved last year. That means more workshops, more networking opportunities and space for way more people to join!

See you there:heart:

Is it possible to apply as a speaker? I missed last year

You can find it here: <https://platformcon.com/call-for-proposals>

bit of a jump in the price!  Really enjoyed last years London event but 50% increase :cry:

Hey <@U05B2PWDAUE>, not ideal I know. Since we wanted to avoid turning away people like we had to do last year (and give much more space for networking, workshops, and more talks and have a more comfortable venue overall) we needed a much larger space and unfortunately with London being the way it is, the venue costs almost 6x this year.

What is the ticket cancellation policy? I don’t see it listed under the FAQs.

Hey Haley, sorry about that. It’s been added now.

I'm trying to get some folks from Mercari Japan to submit a few proposals! Love a chance to meet you all there as well.
