You will have the opportunity to interact directly with the speakers, thought leaders, and practitioners - both at the event and at evening receptions. Attending the ALM Forum will provide you with new tools for making better design, implementation, and technology selection decisions.

This year's ALM Forum features keynotes and plenary sessions by industry luminaries, as well as three focused breakout tracks: Business of Software Delivery, Process of Software Development, and Principles and Practices of DevOps.

Who Presents?

Executives, architects, and managers from the software industry will deliver sessions that dive deep into the best practices of ALM and DevOps. You will understand the business implications of the culture of DevOps, and what the best practices are for achieving success in your own organization.

Industry luminaries address cutting edge topics of interest to the software development and DevOps community - often with humor and always with panache.

Who Attends

Most of the attendees are ALM managers and practitioners working to extend their knowledge of their craft and to make connections with their peers in other organizations. Many work for major corporations while others are consultants or -in select cases - vendors focused on custom application development and DevOps. All share a common interest in pushing the boundaries of software engineering, learning about existing and emerging best practices, and interacting with engineers from within the industry, as well as each other.
