DevOpsDays Portland is returning after a 5-year hiatus. DevOpsDaysPDX is one of the older events, started in 2013, and it’s now returning. It is the only event this year focused on Portland DevOps and open source.
Sponsor the conference and connect with application developers, engineers, team leads, startup owners, and agile practitioners. These are the people influencing decisions about security, monitoring, operations, engineering, quality, and product development at leading companies in the greater Portland area.
DevOpsDays Portland 2026 will be held at the at Portland State University, and will accommodate up to 180 attendees.
Our theme this year is “The Future of DevOps”. Technology and practices have changed over the past decade, and DevOps has also evolved. We’re focusing on the challenges ahead, whether it’s scaling Kubernetes across multiple clouds, refactoring automation with AI agents, or charting careers through major industry changes.

Note that, by global DevOpsDays policy, we do not provide lead scanning or lead gathering for you. However, most of our attendees stop by the sponsor booths and many have told us they value interacting with sponsors as part of the conference experience. As a result, many sponsors get good leads through active, opt-in collection using raffles for popular items (we provide a time at the end of the conference for Platinum and Gold sponsors to announce the raffle winner live), web forms, and QR codes for newsletters or communities. We are happy to advise you on ideas we’ve found work for other sponsors in the past; don’t hesitate to ask us!
DevOpsDays Portland is a non-commercial, community-run event, so we do not have formal contracts. Most companies use the prospectus to provide the list of sponsorship benefits if they need something internally. If you have questions about this policy or need more help, email us at [email protected] .
We can take payment directly, or we can set up an invoice for you. To get an invoice, email us at [email protected] . Otherwise, please reach out to us for a payment link. We look forward to working with you!
