The Congress Center Rosengarten is centrally located in Mannheim: the main train station and hotels, pubs and cafes, the art gallery and the National Theatre are all within easy walking distance.
The conference demonstrates how platform engineering is conceived and implemented as a product – and how a compelling developer experience is created that boosts productivity, quality, and satisfaction equally.
It's not about idealized scenarios, but about real-world experiences: What works? Where are the typical pitfalls? And how can existing platforms be strategically developed further?
Die CLC verschafft mir regelmäßig einen Blick über den Tellerrand. Ich finde immer Talks und Gesprächspartner zu Themen, die sich auch rings um meine zentralen Interessen ranken.
Für mich als Entwickler – ich bin weniger im Ops-Umfeld aktiv – sind die Themen der CLC immer wieder unerwartet interessant. Neben den spannenden Keynotes und Talks kann ich auch tolle Gespräche führen und ausgiebig Networken.
CLC is one of the conferences I highly recommend everyone apply to, even if it's your first conference talk, and you are not based in Germany but speak either German or English! I also appreciate the CLC team's efforts to make it more diverse and inclusive for underrepresented communities in DevOps, SRE and Platform Engineering.
Auf der CLC bekommen Besucherinnen und Besucher einen guten Überblick über aktuelle Themen rund um DevOps, Platform Engineering und Prozessgestaltung für Software Delivery im Allgemeinen. Es gibt nur wenige Konferenzen, die es schaffen, die Themen von mehreren Seiten wie Dev und Ops zu beleuchten.
Als Teilnehmer, Sprecher und Aussteller gefällt mir die CLC immer als Gesamtpaket: Technisch interessante Vorträge gepaart mit ausreichend Pausen und Rahmenprogramm für den ungezwungenen Austausch, von dem alle profitieren.
The CLC strives to offer a program that is as balanced and accessible as possible for all participants, with a mix of English and German-language presentations.
