As you probably know, DevOpsDays is a volunteer run not-for-profit event. Our goal is to help people learn about DevOps, and we couldn’t do it without your support. Thank You!!
A lot of hotels in Seattle sell out in the spring. It’s a good idea to book any rooms you’ll need as soon as possible. We don’t have an official hotel, but there are many in the area.
You’ll receive a registration code to be given to people who will be attending on behalf of your company. Please don’t wait to have them register once you receive your code! We’d like to have an accurate count as soon as possible.

This year’s event is on May 14th and 15th, 2024. A detailed program can be found at http://www.devopsdays.org/events/2024-seattle/program/. Please note the speaker schedule is subject to change.
Gold sponsors have 1 minute for a pitch to the full audience. This time will be strictly enforced to make sure we stay on schedule!
Of course this is up to you, but most attendees will be practitioners. It’s important to your success that you send people able to have practitioner level conversations. If you’re showing off your latest product, be ready to answer some technical questions. If you’re looking to hire people, have someone there who works in the type of role you’re hiring for.
DevOpsDays is a unique blend of presentation style talks and interactive open discussions. The presentations are being chosen from over 200 submissions. We’re really excited about the talks we’ll see.
The afternoons are run as open spaces. You can learn more about this format at https://www.devopsdays.org/open-space-format/. To make the most of your participation it’s highly recommended that your staff participate in the open space discussions. This is your best chance to show off how valuable you can be to the attendees.
There is no shipping directly to the venue, so we have contracted a drayage company for the event.
Sponsors are responsible for any charges from using this third party vendor. Please follow their instructions carefully to make sure there are no issues.
Alliance Expo is providing drayage for this event, please contact the organizers via email to connect you with them.
For outbound shipping only, there is a FedEx Office location across the street from the venue. Unlike some FedEx locations, this location does not offer a hold for pickup service so you should not send any incoming shipments there.
Sponsors are welcome to come up to the WSCC Loading Dock for loading/unloading purposes.
The SCC Loading Dock will be open from 7am-4pm on 5/13 and 5/15. Long term parking is
not allowed in either the alley or at the Loading Dock.

Gold sponsors will be able to choose the location in the venue of your sponsor table. Once we have finalized the layout in the last week of April we will send out emails to sponsors in batches of 5 per day in the order the sponsorship was paid for. The email will contain a link to a page where you can choose your sponsor table. It’s very important that you choose your table as soon as you receive this email for the best choice.
With that said, we’ve been told that we have one of the most welcoming sponsor areas of any DevOpsDays event and will do everything in our power to make sure there’s no such thing as a “bad table spot”.
