The Cloud & Datacenter Conference Germany 2026 is a practitioner-focused enterprise IT conference held on 30 September and 1 October 2026 at the Congress Park Hanau in Germany. Organised by Rachfahl IT-Solutions, Eric Berg, and Manfred Helber, the event is built around a community-driven model in which Microsoft MVPs speak without honorarium and sponsors support the event to enable high-quality technical content at a fair ticket price. The two-day programme features 66 sessions across 6 parallel tracks, with 47 speakers and Microsoft MVPs representing organisations from across Europe. An evening networking event is included with all tickets, and a speaker dinner is available for Supporter ticket holders. The conference is technically open and vendor-neutral in its content approach, drawing on real-world project experience across on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud environments.
The event draws IT professionals, cloud architects, infrastructure engineers, security specialists, DevOps practitioners, and enterprise IT decision-makers primarily from the DACH region and German-speaking Europe. The community-driven format attracts practitioners who work daily in real infrastructure and cloud projects, making the event particularly relevant for hands-on technical professionals seeking directly applicable knowledge. Microsoft MVPs from across Europe make up a significant portion of the speaker faculty, ensuring a high concentration of recognised community expertise across all six content tracks. Attendance is capped through limited ticket categories, with Super Early Bird and Early Bird allocations already sold out for the 2026 edition.
The two-day programme runs 66 sessions across 6 parallel tracks, enabling attendees to follow a personalised agenda based on their technical focus area. Sessions are drawn from real projects and cover on-premises, hybrid, and public cloud scenarios, AI and intelligent services, security and compliance, datacenter infrastructure, and observability and insights. Each day features parallel sessions running simultaneously, with networking breaks and an exhibition area for direct interaction with sponsors and solution providers. The evening event on Day One provides a social and professional networking format for all attendees. The Supporter ticket tier includes access to the Speaker Dinner, offering a more intimate setting for direct conversation with the speaker faculty. Team discount tiers are available for organisations sending groups of five or more delegates.
The agenda addresses the full range of enterprise cloud and datacenter technology with a strong emphasis on practical implementation. Key themes include Microsoft Azure architecture, hybrid cloud strategy, and multi-cloud infrastructure design; datacenter modernisation and migration from on-premises environments; AI integration in enterprise IT including Microsoft AI services and Copilot tooling; cybersecurity, identity management, and Zero Trust frameworks in cloud-native environments; DevOps, Infrastructure as Code, and automation across hybrid environments; monitoring, observability, and insights across cloud and datacenter workloads; storage and backup architectures for enterprise resilience; networking and connectivity for hybrid cloud deployments; and governance, compliance, and cost management across public cloud platforms.
The Cloud & Datacenter Conference Germany 2026 concludes on 1 October at the Congress Park Hanau following two intensive days of technical sessions, community exchange, and networking. The event closes as one of the most competitively priced specialist cloud and infrastructure conferences in the German-speaking market, sustained by the volunteer speaker model and sponsor support that has made it a fixture in the enterprise IT community calendar.
