What we’re looking for
PlatformCon São Paulo is a 25-minute talk format, in front of 300 platform engineers from enterprise organizations across Brazil and the Latin American region.
We are primarily looking for thought leadership talks and enterprise case studies.
Enterprise case studies
Real implementations at named organizations in finance, agribusiness, mining, retail, and the wider LATAM enterprise landscape.
Thought leadership
Where platform engineering is heading. Frameworks, mental models, and hard-won lessons from practitioners in the field.
Building for agentic AI
Platforms for agentic software development. What changes when your users are software development agents, not just humans.
Platform as product
Securing stakeholder buy-in, driving genuine adoption, and measuring ROI. The business and human side of the work.
Building for new user groups
New platform types that need to serve data engineers that want to ship machine learning workloads, same as business users who want to deploy vibe coded apps.
