DevOps World will be held September 21-24 at Aria Resort, Las Vegas.

DevOps World provides opportunities for attendees to learn, network and explore the future of software development through learning techniques, best practices and processes in sessions delivered by industry experts. The event is the largest gathering of DevOps practitioners and Jenkins users in the world.

DevOps World Extends Content to Dedicated Leadership Forum

New this year is the addition of the Software Delivery Leadership Forum, with a program chaired by Accelerated Strategies Group, an independent analyst firm. The Leadership Forum is designed to provide attendees access to strategic business thinking and deep technical expertise, delivered via a mix of presentations, panels, hands-on exercises and interaction with peers. The Leadership Forum will run throughout the entire conference to educate and equip a whole new generation of digital leaders.

“Accelerated Strategies is excited to chair the Software Delivery Leadership Forum at this year’s DevOps World, in partnership with CloudBees,” said Mitch Ashley, CEO of Accelerated Strategies Group. “As the pace of digital transformation increases, we believe a greater emphasis on educating the executives responsible for leading the transformation will help organizations find the fastest path to success.”
