Following the amazing success of the first HumanOps Meetup in May (thanks for the stars everyone), we've been working hard to get something just as exciting planned for the end of the year.

We've managed that with some help from our friends at Facebook who have agreed to provide us with an amazing space to host.

Please see below for the full list of amazing speakers. On the night, we'll have several short talks around HumanOps principles and implementation – alongside plenty of time for questions, private discussions and refreshments.

Contribute with your views on https://github.com/HumanOps/HumanOps and www.humanops.com (http://www.humanops.com/)

We hope to see you soon!
