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. ### Is this a community event or a commercial event? 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. ### Who is PlatformCon Live Day Paris NOT designed for? - Engineers with no responsibility for platform infrastructure or developer tooling - Business or sales professionals looking for a market overview without technical depth - Developers focused on application-layer work without interest in platform or IDP concerns - Attendees expecting a multi-track programme rather than a focused single-stage day ### Who are the confirmed speakers? 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. ## The venue: Espace Charenton, Paris 12e Espace Charenton is a dedicated event venue in the 12th arrondissement of Paris.

The venue is served by Eurostar from London St Pancras and TGV connections from across France. ## The organiser: PlatformCon / platformengineering.org 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. --- ## Editorial take *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.* ## How to register and what it costs 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. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do I get to Espace Charenton? The venue is in Paris 12e.
