Four years ago, my colleague Mark Miller and I founded the All Day DevOps conference with seven friends from around the community. We planned the conference in 90 days and expected 1,000 folks to show up to listen to the 57 speakers we had vetted for the agenda. As it turns out, over 13,000 people participated that year.
So, we obviously had to try again and we kept thinking bigger. We involved more people, grabbed on to new ideas, and have delivered a better experience for All Day DevOps community members each year. 2019 will be no different.
We’re kicking off this year’s 24-hour online conference on November 6th at 8am GMT and highlighting 151 speakers across five tracks and six keynotes. Over 36,000 people have registered to participate. Insane. Even after four years of doing this, it is hard to fathom how many people that really is. Selling out large sports arenas comes to mind.
Other stats are just as amazing. Participants span 160 countries. Attendees can join one of 190 remote viewing parties around the world. 84 of the Fortune 100 are represented.
And, we are delivering this entire experience free of charge.
Behind-the-scenes we’re busy, too. We’ve gathered over 75 volunteers to facilitate conversations in Slack, monitor the conference, and moderate tracks in real time.
