A one-day in-person platform engineering conference on 24 September 2026 at Espace Charenton in Paris, part of the PlatformCon World Tour, featuring 10 main stage speakers including Manuel Pais on internal developer platforms, developer experience, and golden path design.
PlatformCon Live Day Paris 2026 is the French stop of the PlatformCon World Tour, a series of one-day in-person events accompanying the annual PlatformCon online conference. The 2026 World Tour covers Paris, Sydney, and Sao Paulo. The Paris edition takes place on 24 September at Espace Charenton and brings together platform engineers, heads of developer experience, and engineering leaders for a single main stage of 10 speakers. PlatformCon is produced by the platformengineering.org community, founded by Luca Galante.
The event runs on 24 September 2026 at Espace Charenton, a dedicated event venue in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The format is a single main stage with 10 confirmed speakers, positioned as "Where builders meet enterprise." Early bird tickets are priced at 375 EUR; check platformconlive.fr for current pricing tiers. The 2025 Paris edition drew approximately 500 participants.
The 24 September date places the Paris edition within the autumn in-person cluster, alongside KCD Sofia (29 September), Civo Navigate London (22 September), and Swiss Cloud Native Day (17 September). It precedes the October-November cluster of swampUP Europe Barcelona and the we.CONECT Berlin summits. For platform engineers in France and Western Europe, it represents the most focused in-person platform engineering event of the autumn season.
PlatformCon is an annual online platform engineering conference with 50,000+ virtual attendees, produced by the platformengineering.org community. The Live Day format is the in-person component: single-day events in select cities for practitioners who want a physical gathering. The Paris edition is independent of the main online conference, which typically runs in June.
PlatformCon operates as a community-driven initiative under platformengineering.org, founded by Luca Galante. The Live Day Paris has a ticket price (375 EUR early bird) reflecting venue and production costs; it is not vendor-sponsored in the way a commercial trade show is organised.
Manuel Pais (co-author of Team Topologies) is confirmed. Engineers from Deezer, CNCF, PayFit, Dassault Systemes, Cdiscount/Peaksys, Doctolib, Avanade, and Superhuman are confirmed on the main stage, according to the organiser. The full speaker list is available at platformconlive.fr.
Espace Charenton is a dedicated event venue in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. The 12th is in eastern Paris, accessible by Metro line 8 (Charenton le Pont) and line 1 (Reuilly Diderot). Paris Gare de Lyon is approximately 10 minutes by Metro. The venue is served by Eurostar from London St Pancras and TGV connections from across France.
Platformengineering.org is a community platform for platform engineers with over 30,000 Slack members. It produces PlatformCon, the PlatformCon Live Day World Tour, and supporting community content. The community was founded by Luca Galante. The Paris Live Day is managed with local production partners; ticketing is at platformconlive.fr.
With Manuel Pais on the main stage and engineers from Deezer, Doctolib, and PayFit confirmed, this is the closest thing to a dedicated IDP practitioner day France has produced: a tighter format than a multi-track conference, and a more practitioner-focused room than an enterprise summit.
Registration is at https://platformconlive.fr/. Early bird tickets are priced at 375 EUR. Further pricing tiers and deadline dates are not confirmed as of verification; check the site directly. The 2025 Paris edition sold out, so early registration is advisable.
