105+

We're also excited to be teaming up again with [Kubernetes Community Day DC](https://community.cncf.io/events/details/cncf-kcd-washington-dc-presents-kcd-washington-dc-2025/) who will be hosting their event on September 16, 2025!

<h2>Efficiency & Productivity</h2>
111+
For this year’s DevOpsDays DC, we’re exploring how modern DevOps practices can transform organizational efficiency and team productivity in an era where doing more with less has become the expectation rather than the exception. We’re seeking presentations that showcase innovative approaches to applying technology, streamlining workflows, reducing cognitive load, eliminating wasteful processes, and creating sustainable practices that enhance both delivery speed and quality. Whether you’re implementing platform engineering solutions, rethinking your CI/CD pipeline, integrating AI tools, or cultivating psychological safety, we want to hear your success stories—and not-so-success stories that led to profound improvements. The most compelling talks will offer actionable insights backed by real-world experiences, providing our audience with both strategic frameworks and tactical solutions they can implement immediately. Join us in shaping the conversation around how DevOps can be the catalyst for meaningful productivity enhancements that benefit both organizations and the humans who power them.
