Dash is an annual conference about building and scaling the next generation of applications, infrastructure, security, and technical teams. This year we’ll be at the Javits Center North in New York on October 18 and 19.

The conference themes include:

PERFORMANCE - In our pursuit to push our systems to do more, both applications and infrastructure are growing more complex. As this happens, we’re running into a common problem: performance. Join to hear industry leaders discuss how their companies are building faster applications and systems that deliver better user experiences.

SCALING SYSTEMS - Dash is about scaling up and speeding up, but we can’t do that with the tools and architectures of the past. We’ve moved from monoliths to microservices and servers to containers, but what’s next? Learn how others are architecting the applications and infrastructure of the future.

TEAMS - Scaling teams is a delicate balance of adding new members while managing work, mentoring teammates, building processes, and growing culture. The way many teams work has also fundamentally shifted, whether through experiencing growth, adapting to remote/hybrid models, or navigating a return to office. Gain insights into how others are building their teams and setting them up for success.

TRANSFORMATIONS AND CASE STUDIES - Organizations and technical systems aren’t static. As we encounter new challenges, we have to adapt our approach and our technologies to solve them. Hear first-hand experience of technical and organizational evolutions and revolutions so that you may follow their success (or avoid their mistakes).

SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE - Applications and infrastructure are growing more complex, and DevOps practices inherently distribute data across services and teams. The only way to scale out security is to make it more accessible to engineering teams by baking security into every part of the development cycle. Learn how organizations have evolved their security and compliance strategies to do this, saved time through automation, kept users safe, and more.

The conference CFP is open until August 12 at https://www.dashcon.io/cfp/
