Move past the jargon and gain practical insights to help you move forward

Understanding how DevOps fits into your incident management workflow can be a bottomless pit of buzzwords and acronyms. Wouldn’t it be nice to just have some practical tips on how to either get started or how to take your plans to the next level? We thought so too.

The event is broken into two parts; The first, hands-on workshops. The second, an industry conference focused on providing you with tangible resources to move you forward in your journey.

Join industry experts, analysts, and your peers for an event focused on the latest and greatest in DevOps practices and how they relate to maintaining uptime.

CFP Description

The event is broken into two parts; The first, hands-on workshops. The second, an industry conference focused on providing you with tangible resources to move you forward in your journey.

There are three ways to propose a session:

A proposal for a talk/panel during the conference part : these are 45 minute slots that will have the full attention of all attendees, as everybody will be in that one room.

A lightning talk that will be presented during the lightning sessions. These are 10 minute slots.

Workshop: 60 Min workshop session in the beginning of the day.

Our main criteria to make it to the top selection are:

no vendor pitches: as much as we value vendors and sponsors, we just don’t think this is the right forum. You can demo at your table or during Open Space. Rules:

Choosing talks is part art, part science; here are some factors we consider when trying to assemble the best possible program for our local audience:

broad appeal: How will your talk play out in a room of people with a variety of backgrounds? Technical deep dives need more levels to provide value for the whole room, some of whom might not use your specific tool.

new local presenters: You are the only one who can tell your story. We are very interested in the challenges and successes being experienced in our local area. We are happy to provide guidance/coaching for new speakers upon request.

under-represented voices: We want to hear all voices, including those that may speak less frequently at similar events. Whether you’re in a field not typically thought of as a technology field, you’re in a large, traditional organization, or you’re the only person at your organization with your background, we are interested in your unique experience.

original content: We prefer talks not already presented at another event, especially another one in the local area or one available in recorded form.
