DevOps UMN 2019

What is it?

Join us for DevOps UMN! This one-day conference will feature a mixture of talks, workshops, and open-space discussions with the intent of fostering cross-collaboration and understanding throughout the IT community.

For IT professionals in an academic setting, this is a great opportunity to meet with people who work in different colleges or universities, but share the same interests and are working to address the similar challenges. The goal is to connect people, raise group awareness of issues, and leverage diverse skills and experiences in order to tackle issues in the workplace, whether technical, social, or cultural.

Who should attend?

Anyone in a technology-related role at an educational institution.
