Edgecase 2026

On September 24, 2026, TrueFullstaq returns with the 5th edition of Edgecase — the largest Kubernetes-focused event in the Netherlands.

Join 400+ cloud native professionals, platform engineers, architects, CTOs, and platform leaders at the brand-new Gooiland venue in Hilversum. Easily accessible by train and with parking just around the corner.

Hosted by Bart Farrell, Edgecase combines deep technical content with strategic insight. Expect top industry speakers, advanced platform engineering sessions, and sharp discussions on cloud native operations, emerging trends, and digital sovereignty.

Theme

In 1996, Pokémon started as a Game Boy game created by Satoshi Tajiri.
The idea was simple but powerful: explore the world, discover unique creatures, and collect them all. “Gotta Catch ’Em All.” What started as a small game grew into a global phenomenon worth more than $147 billion.

Kubernetes has followed a surprisingly similar path. When it first appeared, many asked: “What is this?” Today, it’s the standard platform for running modern applications. It orchestrates containers, scales infrastructure, and keeps applications resilient in complex environments.

Just like Pokémon trainers build their collection, platform engineers build their cloud native ecosystem:Pods Clusters, Services, Security, Storage. 

That’s why at Edgecase: You don’t catch them all. You orchestrate them all.
