Cephalocon Barcelona aims to bring together technologists and adopters from across the globe to showcase Ceph’s history and its future, demonstrate real-world applications, and highlight vendor solutions. Join us in Barcelona, Spain on 19-20 May 2019 for our second international conference event!

Cephalocon Barcelona is co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, which takes place over the following three days (May 21-23). You can register for Cephalocon directly, or as an add-on while registering for KubeCon. There is also a reduced price option for academics and hobbyist who do not have employer sponsorship to help cover their attendance.
