DASA Connect is a two-day virtual conference that brings together the brightest minds in the DevOps world to learn about key industry trends, network with fellow professionals, and celebrate the achievements of DevOps leaders. From thought-provoking keynotes to interactive workshops, our must-see sessions cover trending topics and best practices in digital transformations.
Through DASA Connect, we host the DASA DevOps Awards, an annual virtual celebration of all the great work that DevOps organizations, teams, and professionals do for the field of DevOps. The Awards allow the industry to recognize and celebrate the astonishing accomplishments that the nominees have contributed to DevOps over the previous 12 months. By showcasing and honoring DevOps accomplishments, the DASA DevOps Awards hope to inspire upcoming generations of DevOps experts.
Goal
Workshops are interactive sessions that provide valuable knowledge and skills to participants based one of the 6 DASA Transformation Themes. Therefore, Workshops may address one or more stages but they should be organized under a unified theme.
Keynotes are short, engaging presentations that fall under one of three categories of either, “People & Culture,” “Processes & Governance,” or “Architecture & Technology.” They can have elements of one or more categories, but they must follow a specific topic or theme.
Panels consist of a moderator and three to four panelists who address a specific question or central theme. A panel should fall under one of three categories of either, “People & Culture,” “Processes & Governance,” or “Architecture & Technology.” A panel can address one or more of these categories, but must be organized under a unified theme of conversation. Proposals can suggest either role of moderator or panelist.
The proposal should be submitted by the deadline, February 28th, 2024 to the DASA Connect Review Panel, via email to dasaconnect@dasa.org.
