DevOpsDays Cairo 2025: Paving the Way for the AI Age with DevOps

DevOpsDays Cairo 2025 is a two days event organized on 15-16 September 2025

AI is changing the game. DevOps is the key to playing it!

AI is transforming industries, but it needs a strong foundation to thrive. DevOps provides that foundation. On other hand, Imagine a world where AI automates your DevOps processes, from code generation to deployment. That world is closer than you think!

DevOpsDays Cairo 2025 will explore the synergy between these two transformative forces.

Join us and speak at the most awaited Conference of 2025 in Cairo!

You can learn and share your knowledge with people from all around the world.

We are looking for proposals that demonstrate the symbiotic relationship between DevOps and AI/GenAI, including but are not limited to the following:

• MLOps: Automating the lifecycle of machine learning models through DevOps pipelines.
• GenAI Ops: Managing and deploying generative AI applications with robust DevOps practices.
• AI-powered infrastructure automation.
• Using AI for performance monitoring and anomaly detection.
• AI-driven security and threat detection.
• Building and deploying AI/GenAI models at scale: Applying DevOps principles to scale AI deployments.
• Ethical considerations and responsible AI development in a DevOps context: Ensuring responsible AI development through DevOps governance.
• Using GenAI for code generation and testing: Accelerating development cycles with AI-powered code automation.
• AI-powered chatbots for incident management and support.
• AI-driven optimization of CI/CD pipelines.
• Exploring the impact of GenAI on DevOps roles and skills: Understanding how AI is changing the roles and skillsets of DevOps professionals.
• Case studies of AI/GenAI implementations using DevOps principles.
• Workshops on tools and techniques for MLOps and AIOps.
• Any other topics relating to DevOps & AI

I. There are two ways to propose a topic at devopsdays:

• A 30-minute talk presented during the conference, usually in the mornings.
• An Ignite talk presented during the Ignite sessions (scheduling varies). These are 10 minutes slots (20 slides total).

II. Submission Process:

The submission of the proposals will be based on two stages: abstract submission and complete presentation.

• Stage 1: Abstract Submission:

-        The abstract is a concise summary of the proposal. 

-        After accepting the abstract, the submitter will be notified with the acceptance and requested to submit the complete presentation.

• Stage 2: Complete Presentation & Demo:

-        The full presentation will be reviewed by the evaluation committee.

-        Acceptance/ Refusal Notification: notifications of accepted/refused presentations will be communicated via email.

-        Demo: in case of accepted presentations, the speaker might be requested to present a demo (virtual) to the evaluation committee.

III. Important Dates:

• Abstract Submission Deadline: 12 June 2025

• Abstract Acceptance Notification: 26 June 2025

• Complete Presentation Submission Deadline: 17 June 2025

• Complete Acceptance Notification: 31 July 2025

IV. Main Criteria:

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:

• Relevant to our theme: which is ‘Paving the Way for the AI Age with DevOps’.

• Broad appeal: how will your talk play out in a room of people with a variety of backgrounds? Specific tools talks are not preferred.

• Local experiences: 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.

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

• Original content: we will consider talks that have already been presented elsewhere, but we prefer new talks.

• No vendor pitches: as much as we value vendors and sponsors, we are not going to accept a talk that appears to be a pitch for your product.

V. Tips:

• Be specific... we aren't mind readers (a description of about 20 lines is about right)
• Detail is good... but not as important as explaining why your proposal would be interesting
• Propose your own talk; don't have someone else do it for you.
• Nominations welcome... if you know someone who has content/experience relevant to the DevOps conversation, please point us in their direction!
• Multiple proposals welcome... just follow the other rules
• Please stay tuned for more information about Devopsdays Cairo 2025!

CODE OF CONDUCT

I. I am an attendee at devopsdays, learning from and sharing with other devopsdays attendees in an effort to better myself and my industry. I co-create the experience with fellow attendees. I am prepared to give my energy, presence and sensitivity to creating the best possible experience for myself and others.

II. I am coming to devopsdays to interact with people. I understand that imagery and language which is suggestive or derogatory will offend and make people uncomfortable. I also understand that people may have boundaries and sensibilities different from my own. I will accept without question when informed that something is offensive or unacceptable in the context of the devopsdays event.

III. I will never intentionally harass or offend another attendee regardless of sex, disability, appearance, size, race or religion and will not abide another attendee being harassed or offended. If I am aware that anyone is uncomfortable or unsafe, I will notify those giving offense and the devopsdays event organizers.

IV. If I am offended or harassed, I will inform people around me who make me feel safe and the event organizers. If I feel safe, at my discretion, I will inform those giving offense of the specific actions with the hope that the other party is well-intentioned and ignorant, but I am under no obligation to do so.

V. I understand that people are different and I attempt to be forgiving of others actions at the level of their sincere intent, but my priority is protecting my safety and the safety of others. I will act without hesitation or reservation until there are no question of the safety of all parties.

VI. I trust the devopsdays organizers and attendees will co-create the best possible experience for everyone involved, as I will. I believe devopsdays is about empowering people and I will not forget I am empowered to create a safe and nurturing environment. If I or any other attendee violates this aspect of the event, I expect the conference organizers to protect the attendees by direct action, including expelling those in violation and contacting the proper authorities.

You can enter proposals until 2025-06-12 00:00 (Africa/Cairo), 1 month, 2 weeks from now.
