AI SRE Meetup, Salt Lake City, UT- KubeCon Edition

Invite only, StackGen presents AI SRE Meetup, co-hosted by Splunk for SREs, platform engineers, and reliability leaders in Salt Lake City on the sidelines of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2026 with SRE Day and KSUG.AI as our Community Partner. The AI SRE Meetup powered by StackGen is a monthly practitioner gathering for SREs, platform engineers, and reliability leaders who are working on or thinking seriously about AI-assisted and autonomous operations.

Regular editions run on three things: short practitioner talks grounded in production data, an open discussion on a topic worth arguing about, and informal networking with peers solving the same problems.
