Grafana Labs is hosting ObservabilityCON on the Road in Toronto on March 5, 2026, uniting local engineering leaders, customers, and partners for a one-day event focused on AI-driven observability, technical deep dives, and real-world success stories from across Canada.
Grafana Labs is deepening its commitment to Canada’s thriving tech ecosystem by bringing ObservabilityCON on the Road to Toronto. The one-day conference convenes engineering teams, customers, and partners to explore how open, AI-powered observability delivers clarity, speed, and confidence in increasingly distributed and AI-driven software environments.
“Canada is home to some of the most advanced engineering teams and AI-driven platforms in the world,” said Devin Cheevers, Director of Product, Grafana Labs. “As software becomes more distributed and AI-driven, open observability is no longer optional — it’s foundational. Bringing ObservabilityCON on the Road to Toronto is about investing in the local community, learning from customers at scale, and sharing how open, AI-powered observability helps teams move faster with confidence.”
Grafana Cloud, built on open source, open standards, and open ecosystems, continues to gain traction as organizations seek vendor-neutral observability that avoids lock-in while providing deep visibility across complex systems. The platform’s growth is reflected in more than 7,000 customers worldwide and strong momentum in Canada, where enterprises such as Bell Canada and TD Bank rely on Grafana for mission-critical operations, operational resilience, and large-scale visibility.
Grafana Labs’ leadership in observability is reinforced by multiple accolades:
The event will feature technical sessions from Grafana engineers and product leaders, alongside customer stories showcasing practical observability impact.
Actually Useful AI Attendees will learn how Grafana’s AI capabilities deliver tangible value for engineering and SRE teams. Demos will cover Grafana Assistant for querying telemetry and generating dashboards, and Assistant Investigations—an autonomous, agentic AI that coordinates metrics, logs, traces, and profiles to deliver hypotheses and actionable recommendations during incidents.
Reimagined SaaS Economics As telemetry volumes grow with cloud-native and AI workloads, sessions will demonstrate how organizations control observability costs without losing visibility. Topics include Grafana’s Adaptive Telemetry suite for intelligent volume management and Bring Your Own Cloud deployment options for sustainable scaling.
Complexity, Simplified Presentations will show how Grafana Cloud reduces operational burden with turnkey experiences, including the Knowledge Graph for automatic full-stack relationship mapping and new solutions like Instrumentation Hub and Database Observability.
The Toronto event aligns with Grafana Labs’ broader investment in Canada—expanding support, community engagement, and partner ecosystems—to help organizations across financial services, technology, telecom, public sector, and AI-driven industries achieve greater reliability, faster incident resolution, and optimized telemetry.
