DC State of the Stack 2026
About this event
A two-day Washington practitioner conference on building, operating, securing and governing modern systems, with a 2026 programme focused on how AI is changing software delivery, operations and engineering practice.
DC State of the Stack, formerly DevOpsDays DC, is a community conference for engineers, operations teams, security practitioners, product leaders and others responsible for real production systems. Its 2026 theme, Shipping Software in the Age of AI, examines where AI is proving useful across the software stack and where practical constraints still matter.
The programme includes an AI-coding-agent keynote and sessions across platform engineering, AI and ML operations, cloud-native systems, data engineering, security, compliance and developer experience. General admission costs $250. A separate Agentic 101 workshop ticket is also available, while designated government and diversity tickets are free when released.
