Our interest this year is for talks focused on real world experience reports from diverse organizations in Portugal and abroad. We want to explore the “why?” and the “how?” of organizational transformations and the techniques employed to the changes in organizations, both large and small. We want to emphasise potentially new techniques that are aiding teams and orgs to succeed in building and delivering software.  Failure reports are also welcome, since there is so much to learn from that.

Covered topics will include Culture, Automation, Lean, Measurement, and Sharing (CALMS), and others.

Here are some ideas that could fit into that perspective:

• How you are leveraging AI and ML in your build pipeline and deployment process
• How you are adopting new infrastructure architectures that enhance the deployability and deployment frequency of applications
• What enhancements have you found to Developer Experience (DevEx), Operator Experience (OEx), Customer Experience (CustEx) and other interaction enhancements that have given your team or organization better results.
• What new research or strategies have you adopted to change you team or organization's culture in a move towards the DevOps mindset

For talks, these should be deliverable in 30 minutes; for Ignites, they should be focused as described on the Ignites format page and limited to 5 minutes. 

Submission and analysis is anonymous, so that we can remove as much bias as possible from the analysis process.

For this event, we are considering all talks and ignites to be in english.

We expect to offer assistance based on what we raise from sponsors, which would be travel and accomodation where required. Speakers for the selected talks and ignites will have free entry to both days of the event; Pre-conf dry runs are also possible.
