5+
+++

8+
All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers at devopsdays Nashville 2026 are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event. We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.
9+
10+
### The Quick Version
11+
12+
Our conference is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter, and other online media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.
13+
14+
### The Less Quick Version
15+
16+
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
17+
18+
Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
19+
20+
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
21+
22+
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately.
23+
24+
Conference staff can be identified by distinct staff badges. Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.
25+
26+
We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference-related social events.
27+
28+

This year, we’re doing something a little different. While our name proudly carries “Nashville,” we’re excited to host the event at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) to:
11+
- Partner with higher education and connect students directly with the DevOps community.
12+
- Grow the next generation of engineers and technologists by making DevOpsDays more accessible to students and educators.
13+
- Stay close to Nashville — Murfreesboro is only a short drive away — while providing a beautiful campus setting with the space and resources to make this our best event yet!

There are three ways to propose a topic for DevOpsDays Nashville:
13+
<dl>
14+
<li><strong><em>Conference Talk:</em></strong> An in-depth and detailed 30-minute talk during the conference in the main auditorium</li>
15+
<li><strong><em>Ignite talk:</em></strong> A quick, impactful 5-minute talk with 20 auto-advancing slides taking place in the main auditorium. If you are unfamiliar with ignites, look here. (Note: These have a 75% acceptance rate; if you want a challenge and a high probability of speaking, this is your spot!).</li>
16+
<li><strong><em>Workshop:</em></strong> An in-depth and detailed 60-90 minute workshop where attendees can get in-depth and hands-on training or experience with a product or technology <i>(Note: it is currently unknown as to whether DevOpsDays Nashville will have a workshop space in 2024)</i></li>
17+
</dl>
18+
19+
<hr>
20+
Rules:
21+
<dl>
22+
<li>Be specific… we aren’t mind readers (a description of about 20 lines is about right)</li>
23+
<li>Detail is good… but not as important as explaining why your proposal would be interesting</li>
24+
<li>Propose your own talk; don’t have someone else do it for you.</li>
25+
<li>Nominations welcome … if you know someone who has content/experience relevant to the DevOps conversation, please point us in their direction! Email the organizers to recommend someone! This goes double for under-represented voices in the DevOps community!</li>
26+
<li>Multiple proposals welcome… just follow the other rules</li>
27+
<li>Submissions with multiple speakers welcome!</li>
28+
<li><b>No vendor pitches</b></li>

Choosing talks is part art, part science; here are some factors we consider when trying to assemble the best possible program for our local audience:
47+
48+
- _broad appeal_: How will your talk play out in a room of people with a variety of backgrounds? Technical deep dives need more levels to provide value for the whole room, some of whom might not use your specific tool.
49+
- _new local presenters_: You are the only one who can tell your story. We are very interested in the challenges and successes being experienced in our local area. We are happy to provide guidance/coaching for new speakers upon request.
50+
- _under-represented voices_: We want to hear all voices, including those that may speak less frequently at similar events. Whether you're in a field not typically thought of as a technology field, you're in a large, traditional organization, or you're the only person at your organization with your background, we are interested in your unique experience.
51+
- _original content_: We will consider talks that have already been presented elsewhere, but we prefer talks that the local area isn't likely to have already seen.
52+
- _no third-party submissions_: This is a small community-driven event, and speakers need to be directly engaged with the organizers and attendees. If a PR firm or your marketing department is proposing the talk, you've already shown that as a speaker you're distant from the process.
53+
- _no vendor pitches_: As much as we value vendors and sponsors, we are not going to accept a talk that appears to be a pitch for your product.

DevOpsDays is a self-organizing conference for DevOps practitioners that depends on your sponsorships. We do not have a traditional trade show conference floor, sell product presentations, or distribute attendee contact lists. Sponsors have the opportunity to have short elevator pitches during the program and will get recognition on the website and social media before, during, and after the event. Sponsors are encouraged to participate and engage with the attendees as peers.
13+
<br><br>
14+
Any attendee also has the opportunity to demonstrate products or projects as part of any of the Open Space sessions. Be sure to send technical practitioners to interact with customers and peers at DevOpsDays on their own terms.
