ContainerDay Manufacturing 2026
ContainerDay Manufacturing returns on May 6, 2026, in Heilbronn. This is a practitioner-focused event that cuts through the noise—no marketing decks, no vendor pitches disguised as talks. Just real engineering.
Why Attend?
Join engineers from industry giants like Bosch, Trumpf, Miele, and Mercedes-Benz as they share raw, real-world experiences with Kubernetes on the factory floor. We’re highlighting what actually works and, just as importantly, what doesn’t.
10–12 Expert Talks: Focused entirely on industry practitioners.
Deep Dives: OT/IT convergence, edge computing, and container orchestration at scale.
High-Level Networking: A room filled with peers who have successfully deployed Kubernetes in industrial environments.
