About this event

This event has been cancelled.

We share with great sadness that our organizing team has collectively decided to cancel KCD Texas 2023. It was not an easy decision in the slightest.

We truly appreciate everyone's support for our event in 2023. It means a lot to us. We had a wonderful lineup of speakers from a strong Call for Papers, but attendee registration was too low to sustain the event and provide a great experience for the community, including you.

The team believes this is likely due to a combination of factors, including the current macroeconomic environment in the technology sector the difficulty for meetups to return to pre-pandemic levels, and the change in standard community communication channels (e.g., the changes to Twitter) to make people aware of the conference overall.

All tickets and sponsorships will be refunded. You should expect to receive email confirmation.

Again, we truly appreciate your support and hope you can support us again in 2024.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to email the organizer group at organizers-texas@kubernetescommunitydays.org


The inaugural KCD Texas is a 1-day, in-person event hosted at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, Texas. The format will be an intimate, community-led event focused on interaction and building our Texas Kubernetes and Cloud Native communities. The event features a range of sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities. Join us at this one-of-a-kind event to learn from some of the best minds in the field, meet fellow enthusiasts, and network with industry experts.

The format will be an intimate, community-led event to raise awareness and engagement within the cloud native community. 

Now Featuring:



Kubeflow Summit 2023 is a co-located event within KCD Texas, included in your registration. Also hosted at the Irving Convention Center on October 6th, 2023, KubeFlow Summit will feature Kubeflow users, developers, contributors, data scientists, ML engineers, MLOps professionals, and more who rely on Kubeflow as a product and its community as a critical element to their MLOps workflow.
