These conferences are all organized by local community volunteers who are passionate about DevOps. The first DevOps Days in Baltimore is an inflection point for the local community.

As we do so, we’ll look at some tips you can takeaway to help make sure your DevOps Days Baltimore experience is delightful. We'll also discuss ways that you can help build and participate in the local DevOps community.
