Call for conferences - CFP

The call for conferences will open on April 20.

devops REX is a French-speaking conference dedicated to sharing practical experiences with the DevOps approach.

NO ADVERTISING. NO THEORETICAL BABBLE. 100% PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE. ZERO SALES PITCHES.

We are delighted to announce the opening of the Call for Papers for the 2026 edition of devops REX — the conference is approaching its 10th anniversary, and our standards remain the same: real-world experience, practical insights, and actionable advice.

Submit your REX

DevOps / Strategic DevOps

The basics, and always the essentials. Organisational change, DevOps culture, continuous improvement, performance measurement, change management. Share what has really worked — or not — in your context.

DevSecOps

How do you embed security at the heart of your DevOps practices without compromising agility? Methods, incident reports, securing the software supply chain (SBOM, pipeline integrity, dependency management), NIS2/CRA compliance… We’d love to hear your experiences regarding organisational and technical challenges.

FinOps

Cloud bills are skyrocketing, AI is driving up computing costs, and "doing more with less" has become a universal imperative. How did you regain control? Sharing cost responsibility with development teams, optimizing architectures, making trade-offs between performance and budget: we want figures and lessons learned.

Platform Engineering / IDP / Developer Experience

Internal Developer Platforms are transforming how teams deliver. But building a good internal platform is as much an organizational challenge as a technical one. Share your architectural choices, your initial mistakes, and the real impact on team productivity.

AI & DevOps

In both directions. How does AI improve your DevOps practices—intelligent pipelines, autonomous agents, enhanced observability? And how do DevOps practices enable reliable, repeatable, and governed AI deployment? Successes, incidents, safeguards, and lessons learned: that's exactly what we want to hear.

Strategic independence / Sovereignty / Governance

In a rapidly changing geopolitical and regulatory context, what concrete decisions have you made to regain control of your infrastructure, data, and dependencies? Migrations, sovereign architecture choices, responses to new European regulations: share your actual trade-offs.

Prerequisites

We ask potential speakers to meet a few conditions before submitting their contributions to devops REX, otherwise we won't be able to take them into account:

* The topics must cover the impacts and results obtained as part of the implementation of a devops or devsecops approach in your organisation - regardless of the level at which you experienced it.

* They must be presented by people who have experienced or led (directly or indirectly) this approach - whether you are the initiator or the last person to be convinced.

* No presentation of products or offers, direct or indirect. These are strictly forbidden on the devops REX stage.

In the specific case of technical feedback, it will of course be useful and relevant to present the technologies used - this does not constitute a product presentation in itself insofar as any real project will combine several technologies. We will then ask you to present these in your own words, on an equal footing.

At the end of your presentation, visitors should come away with concrete ideas to try out at home to share the information, practical advice to share with their colleagues, simple ways of measuring their progress, and warnings about practices / habits / methods / designs that have caused you problems...
