DevOps 3

Not Just Another Tech Conference

Every software organization faces the same fundamental challenge: delivering innovation at speed while maintaining rock-solid reliability.

We all know what we need. What eludes most teams is the how.

That's precisely why Sketch Development is hosting DevOps Midwest 2025 – where pragmatic solutions replace theoretical ideals and real practitioners share what actually works.

Tickets are sold out for 2025. If you don't have yours, you can try asking your favorite Sketch employee if there have been any cancellations. No promises.

Experience, Not Just Exposition

This isn't another day of passively consuming slide decks. DevOps Midwest delivers a concentrated dose of insights from professionals who've implemented these practices across diverse industries with measurable results.

The difference? You'll do more than listen.

We've engineered this conference around hands-on learning because we understand that knowledge without application is just trivia.
