Nathen Harvey | Posted on | announcements | ChefConf | community | DevOps | events

If you’ve been to ChefConf before, you know it’s not your typical tech conference. If you haven’t, this is your year. Our annual get together is like a huge family reunion open to everyone that celebrates a vibrant and passionate community of revolutionaries, game-changers, and disruptors.

ChefConf 2016 takes place July 11-13, in beautiful Austin, TX, bringing together 2,000 IT leaders, practitioners, and innovators from the Chef and wider DevOps communities. We’ll present an invigorating blend of technology and local Austin experiences to engage and energize you no matter your interests, whether League of Legends, BBQ, both, or something in between.

Three lively days will be filled with learning about and sharing the culture and practices that support the DevOps workflow, infrastructure automation, and continuous application delivery. We’ll have inspired discussions, collaborative presentations, and in-depth technical training. In the end, you’ll learn the strategies other organizations have used to successfully put transformation, velocity, and compliance into practice.

The entire event will reach peak-fun the evening of Wed., July 13, with the Chef Community Celebration at a popular SXSW location and Austin classic, the Empire Control Room. This will be the most epic party in ChefConf history and that’s no pose, that’s a promise.
