Columbus Intro to Devops Conference

event date

location

Columbus, Ohio, United States


Welcome to the first Columbus Into to DevOps Conference!

In this one-day conference, we will be providing an introduction for everyone is interested in DevOps and cloud computing, but doesn't know where to start. We will be bringing industry professionals and experienced mentors to share what you need to know to succeed in the industry as a software developer.

This conference is open to anyone but is specifically tailored for students (college, BootCamp, or self-taught), junior developers, and recruiters interested in meeting that potential talent.

Check-in and Registration will start at 8:30 am, with talks going from 9:30 am to 3:45 pm, with a break for lunch. In order to keep costs low and make this conference as accessible as possible, lunch will be pizza and may not accommodate all dietary restrictions. Make sure to plan accordingly.

This conference has free tickets available, to make sure that we are accessible to those of limited means, like students often are. To offset the issue with people registering but not attending, the free tickets do not guarantee a spot in the conference. If we hit capacity, we will not allow more checkins from the free ticket holders until some people have left the event.

All speakers will receive a ticket at the reserved attendance level.
