The Columbus Intro to DevOps Conference

Welcome to the first Columbus Intro to DevOps Conference!

In this one-day conference, we will provide an introduction for everyone who is interested in DevOps and cloud computing but doesn't know where to start. We will be bringing industry professionals and experienced mentors to share what you need to know to succeed in the industry as a software developer.

This conference is open to anyone but is specifically tailored for students (college, bootcamp, or self-taught), junior developers, and recruiters interested in meeting tech talent in the Columbus area.

This conference is being organized by a partnership between the Columbus DevOps meetup and the Software Engineering Club at The Ohio State University. Both groups exist to help developers and students expand their skills and are free to join.

Check-in and Registration will start at 8:30 am, with talks going from 9:30 am to 4 pm, with a break for lunch. To keep costs low and to make this conference as accessible as possible, lunch will be pizza and may not accommodate all dietary restrictions. Make sure to plan accordingly.

This conference has free tickets available to ensure we are accessible to those of limited means, like students often are. To offset the issue of people registering but not attending, the free tickets do not guarantee a spot in the conference. If we hit capacity, we will not allow more check-ins from the free ticket holders until some people have left the event.

Join us on our discord to talk to us or ask any questions that you have!
