Its focus areas are SRE (site reliability engineering), MLOps, AIOps, and data engineering, specifically as these practices evolve when AI systems move from experiments into production. The conference prioritises honest accounts of real-world implementations over polished vendor presentations. The 2026 edition is in early planning as of verification; no venue, speakers, or ticket pricing have been announced. ## How Signals Conference positions itself Signals targets a narrow but growing segment of the engineering community: the people responsible for keeping AI systems reliable and observable in production. The format, single-track and curated, is designed to ensure that all attendees share the same reference points and can continue conversations across sessions. The Berlin location places it within the European SRE and MLOps community. ## Who attends Signals Conference - Site reliability engineers managing production AI or data systems - MLOps engineers building model deployment, monitoring, and retraining pipelines - AIOps practitioners applying AI to incident management and observability - Data engineers maintaining large-scale data infrastructure - Platform engineers working on internal developer platforms that support AI workloads ## What the Signals Conference format includes - Single-track programme with curated speaker selection - Technical talks focused on real-world implementations rather than product announcements - Small conference scale designed for focused practitioner-to-practitioner exchange - Two-day format across 10-11 September 2026 ## What the Signals Conference programme covers - Reliability engineering principles applied to ML systems in production - MLOps: model versioning, deployment pipelines, and monitoring - AIOps: applying AI to alerting, incident triage, and root cause analysis - Observability for AI systems: what changes when models are in the loop - Data engineering reliability and pipeline failure patterns - Real-world case studies from teams running AI at scale ## FAQ · Identity and audience ### How far along is the planning for the 2026 edition? As of verification (2026-05-18), the 2026 edition is in early planning. The CFP had not yet opened and no venue, speakers, or pricing had been publicly announced. Ticket notifications are available via signalsconf.io. ### Is this a practitioner-only event? The conference is designed for practitioners: those who build, operate, and maintain reliability systems rather than those who manage teams or sell products. The single-track, curated format is designed to support a technically homogeneous room. ### Is there a CFP? Not yet open as of verification. Register for notifications via signalsconf.io to be informed when the CFP opens. ### Who is Signals Conference NOT designed for? - Engineering managers or executives seeking a leadership or business strategy agenda - Developers without production experience in reliability, operations, or MLOps - Vendors looking for a platform to demonstrate products to non-technical buyers - Attendees interested in AI product development rather than AI systems operations ## The venue: Berlin (to be announced) The specific venue in Berlin had not been announced as of verification. Berlin has a well-developed conference infrastructure and the Signals Conference website indicates the city. Check signalsconf.io for the venue announcement. ## The organiser: Signals Conference Signals Conference is self-organised under the Signals Conference brand. No parent entity or commercial organiser is identified on signalsconf.io. The model appears to be a practitioner-organised event. Check signalsconf.io for any updates on organisational structure and CFP details. --- ## Editorial take *The positioning is specific enough to be useful: reliability engineering for AI systems is an underserved topic on the European conference circuit, and a curated single-track format is the right container for it.* ## How to register and what it costs No ticket pricing or registration system is publicly available as of verification. The 2026 edition is in early planning. Register for notifications at signalsconf.io to receive updates on ticket sales and pricing. ## FAQ · Access and practicalities ### How do I get notified when tickets go on sale? Sign up for notifications via signalsconf.io. No other registration channel is confirmed as of verification. ### Is there a virtual attendance option? Not publicly disclosed as of verification. ### Is Berlin easy to reach? Yes. Berlin has two major airports (BER, Tegel closed) and extensive rail connections to Paris, Warsaw, Amsterdam, and other European cities. ## Resources | Resource | URL | |---|---| | Official website | https://signalsconf.io/ | | Register | https://signalsconf.io/ | | Programme | not publicly disclosed as of verification | --- **Last verified:** 2026-05-18 **Next review:** 2026-06-17 **Notes:** Early planning stage.
