Why the Hallway Track Might Be the Best Part of SLC DevOps Days

Every year, SLC DevOps Days brings together engineers, leaders, and builders from across industries. We gather to share ideas, sharpen our skills, and discover new tools and practices. But if you’ve ever been to a DevOpsDays before, you know one truth: some of the best takeaways don’t come from the talks at all.

They happen in the hallway.
The “hallway track” – the spontaneous conversations between sessions, over coffee, or while waiting for lunch – is one of the most valuable parts of the entire conference. It’s where you meet people just like you: professionals solving the same problems, navigating similar challenges, and experimenting with fresh solutions.

Real Talk From Real Practitioners

In the hallway, you get candid stories – the kinds you don’t always hear onstage. People open up about:

  • The tool that looked good on paper but crashed in prod.
  • The culture change that actually moved the needle.
  • The way their team finally fixed that flaky CI pipeline.

You’ll swap war stories, share scripts, and probably walk away with at least one new contact who just “gets it.”

Conversations That Matter

SLC DevOps Days isn’t just about what happens on stage – it’s about the conversations sparked between sessions, over coffee, at lunch, and during shared moments of curiosity. From hallway chats to open spaces, and impromptu deep dives at sponsor booths, the event is packed with opportunities to connect.

Want to geek out on platform engineering? Talk cost optimization strategies? Debate incident response philosophy? Whether it’s chaos engineering, Kubernetes quirks, or convincing leadership to invest in DevOps culture – you’ll find folks here who get it and want to talk about it.

These aren’t passive panels. These are collaborative, real-world exchanges with people tackling the same challenges you are.

Meet Your People

Let’s be real: DevOps is hard. Culture is harder. And no two environments are exactly the same. But at SLC DevOps Days, you’ll meet folks who are fighting the same good fight. You’ll leave not just with ideas, but with allies.

If you’ve ever felt like the only one at your company trying to drive change – come find your people.
