This event is a memorial gathering, a wake to the planned — but now cancelled DevOpsDays Copenhagen 2026.

The event is free to participate - SEATS ARE LIMITED TO 40!

Program (start 17:00 SHARP, arrive and be seated before that!)

• Summary on table discussions
• Outro — The current status of the transformed Danish DevOpsDays Association and a glimpse into what the future will bring

It ends at the "Workbar" no later than 19:00 but if we're still a decent crowd we will continue onward for a burger or a pizza.

Keynote: Kris Buytaert is flying in from Belgium to deliver his planned Keynote Lessons From 10 years of Platform Engineering

Post Mortem: We had to cancel the planned two-day DevOpsDays conference, simply due to lack of interest from audience. This is the canary in coal mine; DevOps(Days) choked. Let's do a post mortem. Platform Engineering is the new DevOps — so we're told. "No — that's Ops, not DevOps". Where did all the "You Build It You Run It" hype go? We will kick off discussions on this topic at the tables - while you sip your funeral beer.

Phoenix rising: — The Danish DevOpsDays Association has a new charter, new bylaws, a new purpose. We, the organizers, will lay out our plans for the future and encourage you to join.

Context: DevOps is Broken
