"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”
LISA14 Attendee
"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."
Lee Damon, University of Washington
"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "
Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.
"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."
Matt Simmons, Northeastern University
"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Join Puppet Labs on their second trip to D.C. this year, as they put on a hybrid of a Puppet Camp and an Intro to Puppet.
In the AM, they will follow a Puppet Camp format where you will have the opportunity to talk to a diverse group of Puppet users, benefit from presentations delivered by prominent community members, share experiences, and discuss potential implementations of Puppet with your peers.
In the PM, they'll run an Intro crash course where you’ll learn how Puppet Enterprise can help you solve the problems you face managing your infrastructure. We’ll show you the core concepts of the Puppet DSL and the components that constitute Puppet Enterprise, plus several real-world examples and live demos.
Attend this camp to learn new ways to use Puppet and related technologies with ideas you can immediately implement. Completely new to Puppet? Puppet is IT automation software that helps system administrators manage infrastructure throughout its lifecycle, from provisioning and configuration to orchestration and reporting.
