KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026
2026-03-24 | Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands
KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 Keynote Session: From Inference to Agents: Where Open Source AI Is Headed
As AI systems move from training to real-world deployment, two forces are rapidly reshaping the landscape: the explosive growth of AI inference and the emergence of agentic AI. In this fireside chat, we’ll explore how the rapidly expanding inference market is driving new infrastructure needs, why the broader AI ecosystem will likely span multiple open source foundations rather than consolidating in one place, and the rise of agentic systems and what their autonomy, orchestration, and runtime requirements mean for the next generation of open source collaboration.
