The Call for Papers for KeycloakCon Europe 2027 is now open!
KeycloakCon Europe 2027 is a half-day, single-track conference in Barcelona on March 15, 2027 — co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe. After successful events in Amsterdam and Yokohama, KeycloakCon is back with talks, discussions, and community connections.
Full-access KubeCon pass — Accepted speakers receive a full-access pass to KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe and all co-located events.
Reach the Keycloak community — Present to a focused audience of Keycloak users, contributors, and maintainers who are there specifically for identity and access management.
Barcelona in March — A great city to combine with the broader KubeCon experience running March 15-18.
We are looking for a range of topics. Here is what the community is curious about — but don’t limit yourself to this list:
How you deployed or migrated to Keycloak and what you learned along the way
Keycloak and AI — securing agents, MCP servers, or delegating access for automated workflows
Authentication standards in practice — Passkeys, OpenID Connect, Verifiable Credentials, or EU Digital Identity Wallet
Operating Keycloak at scale — upgrades, high availability, multi-cluster setups, and automation
Integrations with other CNCF projects and cloud-native infrastructure
Automating identity lifecycle with Workflows, SCIM provisioning, or Shared Signals
Compliance, audit, and governance with Keycloak
If you are unsure whether your idea fits, submit it! We would rather see a creative proposal than miss out on a great talk.
Presentation (25 min, 1-2 speakers) — Deep dives, case studies, or feature walkthroughs.
Panel Discussion (35 min, 3-5 speakers from at least 3 organizations) — Moderated conversations on cross-cutting topics.
Lightning Talk (10 min, 1 speaker) — Short and focused. A great option if you are speaking at a conference for the first time!
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, October 18, 2026.
KeycloakCon is included in the All-Access In-Person KubeCon + CloudNativeCon pass.
