One month to go to ShapeBlueCon 2026!
Our annual team gathering is just around the corner and remains one of the most important weeks in the ShapeBlue calendar. It is a chance for our global, remote-first team to come together in person, align on strategy and share knowledge.
Alongside the working sessions, it is also about spending time together outside of work, with team activities, local experiences, and the opportunity to connect face-to-face for the first time since #CloudStackCollab.
