LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Mikey Dickerson was a Site Reliability Engineer at Google from 2006 to October 2013, when he went on leave to rescue the failing healthcare.gov web site. He was also part of the Obama campaign tech team in Chicago in 2008 and 2012. Prior to Google, he was a systems administrator at Pomona College in Claremont, CA.
