This year we're celebrating 10 years of Observability with a conference around everything that makes the Observability ecosystem amazing. Over 2 days, you'll learn everything from how to instrument code properly, through to the impact of AI on SRE.

We have a track focused on practitioner topics, and for the first time this year we'll have a dedicated track for engineering leadership.

On top of all of that, we'll have hands-on workshops, and a chance for you to chat with leaders in the Observability ecosystem and beyond.

If you're interested in OpenTelemetry, Observability, SRE, and just generally levelling up your engineering organisation this is definitely the conference for you.

We're looking to populate 2 tracks, one focused around practitioner topics, and another that's focused on Culture and leadership.

Although the focus is around Observability, the act of understanding our production systems involves a lot adjacent practices and therefore we're casting a wide net for some awesome talks.

Here's a few ideas of what we're thinking will be interesting to the audience.

* Observability practices

* Culture change and transformation

* Platform engineering

* Incident management

* SRE (from getting started through to leadership)

In return, we'll cover your travel (within the US) with accommodation too. You'll be able to attend the conference and workshops too.
