The conference will feature discussions on a wide range of topics led by experts from Docker and the Docker community across all industries. Due to popular demand, DockerCon will include a third day that gives attendees the opportunity to attend encore performances of top-rated sessions and participate in Hands-on Labs. The sessions will be divided into seven different tracks:
Customers in Production: Use case sessions highlight how companies are using the Docker Enterprise Edition container platform to modernize their infrastructure and build, manage and secure distributed applications – demonstrating business value and ROI.
Using Docker: Using Docker sessions are introductory sessions for Docker users, dev and ops alike – and are filled with practical advice, learnings and insight.
Black Belt: The Black Belt Track features deeply technical talks covering not only container technology but also related projects.
Docker Docker Docker: These sessions provide a deeper dive into Docker CE and EE tooling, implementation, and real world production use recommendations.
Innovation: The Innovation Track shows how containers are redefining our technology toolbox, from solving old problems in a new way to pushing the boundaries of what we can accomplish with software – encompassing IoT, Machine Learning, distributed systems and more.
Transform: The Transform Track focuses on the impact of change – both for organizations and ourselves as individuals and communities – and will further equip you to drive innovation.
Ecosystem: Docker’s partners take the helm to discuss how partners help strengthen and expand the Docker ecosystem.
