First round of speakers for DOES16 announced

Early Bird registration ends May 2^nd and is highly encouraged, as the popular DevOps Enterprise Summit San Francisco event has sold out the past two years, while doubling in attendance.

The first speakers to be included in the DOES16 London programme include:

• Antony Collard, Deputy Director at HMRC
• Jason Cox, Director, Systems Engineering at The Walt Disney Company
• Justin Dean, SVP, Platform and Technical Operations at Ticketmaster
• Robin Hughes, Head of Development Services at LV=
• Chris Jackson, Director of Cloud Product Engineering at Pearson
• Finbarr Joy, Group CTO at Lebara
• Amy Philipps, Head of Test at Songkick
• Rosalind Radcliffe, Distinguished Engineer, Chief Architect for DevOps for Enterprise System at IBM
• Gareth Rushgrove, Senior Software Engineer at Puppet Labs, Inc; ex-UK GDS
• Jeremy Waite, Chief Digital Strategist at Salesforce

“The speakers assembled at the DevOps Enterprise Summit are technology leaders who are pioneering the practices of how large, complex organizations transform and deliver software,” said Gene Kim, founder, IT Revolution and co-author of 'The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win'. “They have all overcome immense challenges to help their organizations win in the marketplace, and we can all learn from their experiences.”

IT Revolution and Premier Sponsor HPE Software are excited to present the inaugural DOES16 London event this summer. As a vendor-neutral conference, DevOps Enterprise Summit curates stories from the enterprise point-of-view. Most of the presentations follow a very specific 'experience report' structure—each speaker describes their organisation and their industry, the business problem they faced, where they started their transformation, what they did and the business outcomes. It’s a simple yet powerful format that reveals solutions to shared problems and new practices that can be used in other business contexts.
