Overview

Last March, we held the second SREcon, a conference focused on site reliability and production systems at scale, with 370 attendees. The demand for SREcon16 is high, and we are looking for experts in the site reliability space to drive another outstanding conference.

SREcon16 will take place on April 7–8, 2016, in Santa Clara, CA. Last year, we added a second day to cover more subjects; based on last year's success, we've decided to keep the same two-day format. We're excited to hear your proposals so that we can have a great conference! Save the date and come join us for two days of highly technical subjects around site reliability and production at scale.

We are looking for proposals in the following formats:

Talks: 20 or 50-minute talks with an additional 5 minutes for Q&A
Lightning talks: 5–10 minute talks
Panels: Moderator-led groups of 3–5 experts answering moderator and audience questions on a particular topic
Posters

If you have a suggestion or request for a particular speaker you really would like to see at the conference, feel free to drop us a message at srecon16chairs@usenix.org.

We will accept proposals until February 8, 2016 via the web form. We’ll evaluate those and get back to you by March 4, 2016.
