Formerly DevOpsDays DC

DC State of the Stack 2026 — Shipping Software in the Age of AI

For people who design, build, operate, and govern modern systems.

A community-driven technology conference rooted in the DC region, bringing together practitioners from engineering, operations, security, product, and adjacent disciplines to explore how real systems work in the real world. Each year, we engage with the technologies and practices shaping our industry — grounded in experience, tradeoffs, and real constraints. Substance over spectacle. Learning that carries forward into everyday work.
