Our Call for Proposals is closed.
From 19 to 20 November 2025, and with Workshops on 18th, CLC – Continuous Lifecycle/ContainerConf – will be held again in Mannheim. The conference is aimed at developers, software architects, DevOps engineers, administrators, project managers and IT strategists.
CLC will provide participants a complete look on all aspects of the software lifecycle, focussing on processes and tools for Continuous Delivery and DevOps – including DevSecOps and GitOps – as well as increasingly popular topics like Platform Operations / Engineering and Developer Experience.
CLC will also provide them with the basics and essential aspects of the popular container technologies and familiarize them with the most important processes and tools for delivering high-quality software based on containers, Kubernetes and their increasingly larger ecosystem.
Until April 27, 2025 the
program comittee of CLC is looking for proposals for talks (40 minutes) and all-day workshops (6 to 7 hours). The following list gives you some pointers for suitable topics. You are, of course, free to suggest topics that go beyond these. The program advisory board is particularly looking forward to talks that also highlight the possibilities of GenAI in the context of the CLC.
