    Submissions due: June 13, 2024 - 4:59 pm

    Last year, we solicited talks on the then new trend of cost and resource pressure: doing more with less in the face of uncertain future growth and revenue for the technology industry. What started as a set of trends is seeming more and more like a new status quo. Funding and revenue are less certain; organisations are pressured to deliver tangible value (financial or otherwise) to stakeholders. In the face of this changing landscape, the nature of SRE work and how that work is justified changes.

    For SREcon24 EMEA, we would like to invite our community to look ahead, and participate by submitting talks with a focus on emerging industry trends such as (and not limited to):

    • The business case for SRE
    • Evolution of the SRE space
    • Attracting, retaining, and nurturing talent
    • Security {and compliance} and SRE
    • SRE and other industries

    Every talk submission is absolutely welcome, as well as areas we have not explored enough in past conferences. Furthermore, apart from this year’s primary areas, we have a keen interest in learning about when crises were effectively averted; and when all the improvements you have done to your systems brought results.

    Please join us in creating an excellent program for SREcon24 EMEA!

  • FAST '25: 23rd USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies
    February 25, 2025–February 27, 2025, Santa Clara, CA, United States

    Paper submissions due: September 17, 2024 - 11:59 pm

    The 23rd USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies (FAST '25) brings together researchers and practitioners to explore new directions in the design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment of systems related to storage. The program committee interprets storage-related systems broadly: submissions on low-level storage devices, distributed storage systems, information and data management, as well as other systems interconnected with storage are all of interest. The conference will consist of technical presentations including refereed papers and poster sessions.
