A one-day in-person platform engineering conference on 24 September 2026 at Atelier Lihotzky in Frankfurt, organised by meshcloud GmbH, covering sovereign platform engineering, internal developer platforms, AI platforms, and GitOps security across two parallel tracks.
meshcloud Con '26 is a single-day in-person conference on platform engineering, hosted by meshcloud GmbH at Atelier Lihotzky in Frankfurt on 24 September 2026. Organised by the team behind the meshStack internal developer platform, the event runs two parallel tracks: Platform Technology (technical implementation) and Business and Strategy (platform organisations, FinOps, sovereign clouds). The central theme for 2026 is sovereign platform engineering: IDP design for regulated industries, multi-cloud governance, and AI platform integration.
The conference runs on 24 September 2026 from 9:00 to 17:00 at Atelier Lihotzky. An optional pre-conference dinner is planned for the evening of 23 September. Registration is live via Eventbrite and the event website; pricing has not been published as of verification. Confirmed speakers come from Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund, SUSE, Markant, codecentric, Liquid Reply, and EDEKA IT, among others.
The 24 September date places meshcloud Con in the dense autumn cluster alongside PlatformCon Live Day Paris (also 24 Sept, but Paris), Civo Navigate London (22 Sept), and Swiss Cloud Native Day (17 Sept). For platform engineers in the DACH region, meshcloud Con is the most specifically IDP-focused day of the season, and the only event on the circuit explicitly addressing sovereign cloud and regulated-sector constraints.
meshcloud is a Frankfurt-based company that builds meshStack, an enterprise internal developer platform covering cloud-native, multi-cloud, and sovereign cloud use cases. meshcloud Con is an event the company organises to bring together the broader platform engineering community, not exclusively meshStack users.
Sovereign platform engineering refers to IDP design that meets data residency, regulatory, and digital sovereignty requirements. In Europe, this typically covers GDPR compliance, German cloud infrastructure requirements (BSI C5), and the EU's requirements for public sector cloud. The term is used particularly in DACH-market technology organisations.
It is a vendor-hosted community conference. meshcloud organises and funds the event; the speaker programme includes both meshcloud customers and independent practitioners. It is not primarily a product showcase.

In a market saturated with cloud-native conferences, meshcloud Con occupies a specific position: the only German-organised IDP day with a deliberate regulated-sector and sovereign cloud focus, drawing engineering leads from Deutsche Rentenversicherung and EDEKA IT rather than the startup-circuit crowd.
