In 2016, we had a dream to build the largest online community of DevOps professionals in the world. We wanted to give people the opportunity to learn from one another on a massive scale without worrying about unnecessary travel costs or pesky vendor pitches. Our inaugural 24-hour, free, and online conference drew 13,500 attendees by offering 57 practitioner-led sessions with live chat through our Slack channel. This year, we're aiming to bring 30,000+ people into the community with 180 sessions across six tracks in all time zones, simultaneously.
