DevOpsDays Boston is a self-organizing technology conference for DevOps practitioners and part of the worldwide community of ongoing DevOpsDays events.

Our event brings together leaders in Software Development, IT Operations, QA, InfoSec, AI/MLOps, and IT Management to collaborate and learn from each other. It is both a technical conference and a conference focusing on culture, processes, and structure within organizations. We encourage people with technical and business backgrounds to attend, learn and share experiences.

The 2026 event on October 19-20 is our thirteenth standing conference, and our fourth in-person event since our return from a virtual format in 2020 and 2021. It will be held at the Microsoft NERD Center at 1 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, MA - just over the Charles River from Boston.

This year’s event will continue to be single-track and also include open spaces. We are looking for practical, approachable examples of topics such as how to safely implement AI / ML workflows into a DevOps team, setting up a healthy on-call culture, making CI pipelines and tests that deliver value outside of just a checkbox, running large systems at scale, and so on. We also are open to alternative topics that interrelate to DevOps culture and work.

Participant experience is very important to us, and it goes beyond having quality content. We expect the speakers to attend talks and participate in the day-of activities during the event, in order to help bring the community together. Potential speakers should expect no monetary reimbursements for their participation, travel, or accommodations.

We care deeply about our community, its behavior, and safety. Please review our Code of Conduct before submitting.
