DevOpsDayLA is celebrating its 15th anniversary as Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who believe that great software isn't just about tools—it's about people working together effectively.
In 2025, we hit a historic milestone: 56% women speakers, the first time in our history a majority of our speakers were women. We're proud of that, and we're building on it.
The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World
You're working in a world where AI is everywhere—embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.
DevOpsDayLA 2026 brings together SoCal practitioners to share honest stories about how AI is changing mindsets, processes, and team dynamics. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated?
These are the real questions we're exploring—across Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies.
What Makes DevOpsDayLA Different
We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself. This is BY the SoCal DevOps community, FOR the SoCal DevOps community—practitioner voices, no vendor pitches.

All talks will be in Ballroom F. See the SCaLE Schedule for the most up to date listing.
