DevOpsDays KC had over 70 local companies represented in 2024, and we expect that number to continue to grow. Of our attendees, over 50% are senior technical leaders with titles ranging from Senior Technology Architect to CTO. This is a great opportunity to connect with senior leadership and decision makers from the top companies across Kansas City. If your target audience is more of a mix - we have students, project managers, security specialists, business analysts, and people managers.
