Vancouver Cloud Summit 2026

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.
