Cloud conferences allow you to learn the latest technologies from industry experts and thought leaders. You also get exposure to cutting-edge tools and technologies and network with peers from diverse industries. 

One key trend at this year’s cloud conferences is quantum computing, which can process tasks once thought impossible. The conferences will also discuss AI's role in revolutionizing cloud infrastructure use and the role of edge computing in delivering fast responses from cloud services. 

Here are some of the top cloud conferences in 2026, their locations, ticket costs, and discussion topics.

1. Radar 11x

  • Date: October 1, 2026
  • Location: Online
  • Cost: Free of charge

Everyone stops at 10. RADAR turned AI up to 11. This free virtual event was about turning weeks of work into days: which AI projects to kill, why many AI-proof skills aren't technical, and what engineering looks like once agents write your code.

The day featured eight sessions from speakers at Google, AWS, Microsoft, Cloudera, Honeywell, DataRobot, Fifth Third Bank, and more, with dedicated blocks for the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa. Sessions covered escaping AI-pilot purgatory, the new developer workflow now that agents write code, AI-proof career skills, and responsible AI governance, closing with a live founder AMA.

Missed it? Watch the Radar 11x recordings, along with earlier editions: RADAR: AI Edition (2025), Radar Skills Edition, Radar Forward Edition, Radar: The Analytics Edition, and Radar: The AI Edition (2024).
