Save the Date for DockerCon Live 2021! – Docker Blog

As the calendar leaves 2020 in the rear view mirror, we’re looking forward to the year ahead. And as part of this, today we’re announcing the dates for DockerCon Live 2021. DockerCon Live will take place on May 27th, 2021. Sign up here to pre-register for the event!

Once again, DockerCon Live will be a free, online experience full of demos of products and innovation from Docker and our partners. You’ll get deep technical sessions from Docker experts, Docker Captains and luminaries from across the industry, along with a chance for the community to gather and connect with colleagues around the world.

Last year DockerCon Live 2020 was one of the largest events in the app dev industry–  over 80,000 developers from 193 countries registered to hear over 50 sessions focused on best practices, real world techniques and how-to instruction for building containerized cloud-native solutions with Docker. Speakers joined from companies such as AWS, Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, Nginx, Snyk, Datadog, LaunchDarkly, among others.

For 2021, we are building on this format with a couple of new features including full day pre-conference technical workshops, additional content and more community activities. And there will be some surprises for everyone involved. If you missed DockerCon 2020, you can check out the sessions by visiting the event site. 

The soul of DockerCon comes from community involvement. The free online format has really democratized the event, allowing us to reach all of the community without any friction from travel or budgetary constraints. Attendee pre-registration is open up now – save your seat today.  

In addition, the content program largely comes from submissions from community members. Our Request for Presentations will open up in February 2021 so start working on your proposal submissions today. The DockerCon sponsor program will be expanded in 2021, and more information about sponsor packages will be available soon. 

We’re looking forward to seeing you online this May at DockerCon Live!!
