​Third incredible year. One unforgettable community.

​Get ready for Canada's most exciting Cloud & AI event, returning to Vancouver for 2026 at the world-famous venue, Science World.

​In 2025, Cloud Summit filled the Vancouver Orpheum with attendees, 21 sessions across 8 cloud platforms, world-class speakers, and over $10,000 donated to charity.

​This year we're taking over the iconic Science World on the shores of False Creek — the entire building is ours. From the legendary geodesic dome to hands-on interactive areas, rooftop marquee, and sweeping views of the Vancouver skyline, this isn't just a tech conference.

​It's a full experience.
