About the Conference
Innovate Summit is a one-day event and a great opportunity for software developers to meet and learn from SolarWinds engineers and others in the monitoring, management and development community.
The 2017 Summit was held on December 14, 2017 in Brno, Czech Republic. Many joined us for an evening of talks from experts and fellow devs on topics within the cloud native ecosystem, ranging from containers to serverless. The talks were followed by a happy hour to network and have fun.
