Delivery of Things World USA 2016: Where DevOps and Continuous Delivery meet business
Delivery of Things World USA 2016 proved that DevOps is not a hype anymore but here to stay. Over 150 senior
experts gathered in an international environment in October 13-14 in San Diego to define the future of Software
Development. With keynotes and distinguished personalities in the field like Nolan Bushnell (American engineer and
entrepreneur, Founder of Atari) talking about the importance of innovation and team spirit and Andrew Glover
(Engineering Manager, Delivery Engineering from Netflix) sharing his views on how new technologies and strategies
are merging business and IT solutions in the next few years, made this event a highlight in the DevOps event
calendar.
Case studies on how DevOps and Continuous Delivery are being implemented within companies, what the impact is
on systems and IT infrastructure, but also the role and future of humans and our interaction with technology were
center stage in all discussions and presentations during the two days in San Diego. Senior strategists, DevOps gurus,
IT specialists and whole teams discussed and debated how DevOps can be implemented in a business for a more
efficient and effective software delivery and development cycle.
Shaping the future of DevOps in 2017
Delivery of Things World USA is coming back in December 2017 bringing you once again the most thought-provoking
and leading experts in the field. Join us again next year for the chance to be part of the elite group of experts shaping
the future of DevOps and Continuous Delivery.
