🌐 About the Event This event is a celebration of collaboration across Hyderabad’s vibrant tech communities, coming together with a shared belief: the future of technology is built better when communities unite. On 31st January 2026 at Microsoft Building 1, we are bringing multiple grassroots and global tech communities under one roof — Python, GitHub, Kubernetes, Grafana, CNCF, SRE, CAST AI, and Global AI — to create a Unified Platform Community Day. This is not a typical conference. It’s a community-first experience designed to:

Encourage cross-pollination of ideas between diverse tech domains Break silos between developers, platform engineers, SREs, and AI practitioners Foster real conversations, not just talks Enable learning that is practical, hands-on, and immediately applicable The day kicks off with a visionary keynote that sets the tone for why unified platforms, shared tooling, and community-driven innovation matter more than ever. From there, each session is curated and led by community experts, sharing real-world experiences, lessons learned, and emerging trends. What makes this event truly special is the collaborative spirit:

Communities are not just participating — they are co-creating the agenda Attendees are not passive listeners — they become contributors and collaborators The event culminates in a crowdsourced live hackathon, where ideas turn into action Whether you are a developer, platform engineer, SRE, cloud architect, AI enthusiast, or community organizer, this event offers a space to learn, connect, and build together. At its core, this collaboration reflects a simple but powerful idea:

When communities come together, innovation accelerates. We invite you to be part of this journey — to learn from each other, build meaningful connections, and shape the next chapter of our tech ecosystem, together. 📅 Event Agenda Date: 31st January 2026 Time: 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM Location: Microsoft Building 1
