​Kubernetes & Capital SLC 2026

​Where Open Infrastructure Meets Institutional Capital

​Investor Perspectives Panel
Technical Experts Perspectives Panel

​Kubernetes & Capital is organized by Adam De Delva, Founder & CEO of 0DX.ai, and Landon Ainge of TribeAngels.

​This is a private, invite-only gathering for senior executives, CEOs, capital allocators, deploying investors, open-source project leaders, maintainers, and technical operators shaping the next generation of infrastructure.

​The format is intentionally focused: two short, high-signal panels followed by an evening of relationship building.

​Please arrive on time.

​7:37 PM — Capital Allocation & AI Infrastructure

​20 Minutes

​A candid discussion with investors and capital allocators focused on one of the defining investment themes of 2026:

​How is capital being allocated into AI infrastructure and the projects, platforms, and physical systems supporting it?

​The discussion will explore how investors are evaluating opportunities across AI infrastructure, data centers, compute platforms, open-source infrastructure, energy, and the emerging ecosystem being built around accelerated computing.

​What is investable?
Where is institutional capital moving?
What signals matter in 2026?
How are investors underwriting infrastructure projects at the intersection of software, compute, energy, and physical assets?
And what are technical founders and infrastructure operators still missing about the capital side of the equation?

​8:03 PM — Technical & Physical Infrastructure Perspective

​20 Minutes

​The second panel moves down the stack.

​Infrastructure experts, engineers, operators, OSS leaders, and maintainers will examine what is actually happening across the infrastructure required to support the AI economy — from Kubernetes and distributed systems to data center hardware, compute architecture, power systems, and energy infrastructure.

​We want to connect the conversation happening at the software layer with the realities emerging at the data center and physical infrastructure layer.

​Special Guest: FluxCore Data Systems will join the technical panel, bringing direct perspective from the deployment side of next-generation modular data centers and Decentralized AI infrastructure.

​The central question:

​What are investors missing?

​A direct conversation around infrastructure realities, architectural shifts, open-source economics, technical risk, deployment complexity, hardware constraints, energy availability, and where the next generation of platform and infrastructure value is actually being created.

​This is where software meets silicon, data centers, power, and deployment.

​After-Party Social — Approximately 9:00 PM

​Following the private panel session, we will open the evening to a broader group of conference attendees for music, drinks, conversation, and relationship building.

​The social portion will have a larger attendance than the invite-only panel program.

​There is a separate invitation for attendees who are not VCs, capital allocators, or senior executives. Please contact the organizers if you would like to invite additional guests.

​Good Music. Drinks. Real Conversations. Real Relationships.

​Registration is required.
All attendees must be 21 years of age or older.
