Lighting the 2026 Cloud Native Campfire
1/21/26 UPDATE: Special Guest from Diagrid! We’re excited to announce that the team from Diagrid is joining us on January 22nd. As a Gold Member of the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF), they are at the forefront of defining the open standards for AI and will be showing us how to build autonomous agents that are resilient, stateful, and production-ready.

Kick off 2026 with Cloud Native Madison** as we gather for our January Circle event and a relaunch of our favorite way to connect: Cloud Native Campfire.
Whether you’re here for the Chats (bi-weekly open office hours), the Circles (monthly peer-led discussions and deep-dives), or the Connects (quarterly in-person events), we’re bringing back the intimate, high-impact format that makes our community unique.
What’s on the Agenda?
- A look at how Madison's Cloud Native Campfire is designed to give everyone more chances to engage in the way that works best for them
- Looking back at our involvement in last year’s KubeCon, sharing the biggest takeaways, the standout tech, and the highlights of how Madison represented on the global stage
- Officially announcing our new Diamond Sponsorship, which represents a significant global investment into our local Madison community
- An open community discussion of our roadmap for the year, including the initial details for our next major in-person event coming this spring
Join us virtually for good talk, big updates, and a look ahead at what 2026 has in store for us. See you there!
