Just back from the big trip! And catching a moment to jot down my experiences in Berlin!
I was invited by DevOpsCon to present at the Berlin event in June 2024, which turned out to be a fantastic event!

Apart from the hurried visa process and the last minute preparations, the travel went smoothly. Being my first ever event in Europe, I was elated and honored to have the opportunity to speak at this massive event!

The organizing team had invited us to a welcome dinner on the initial day of the conference, which was a great way to meet other speakers and make some connections! Our conversations turned evening to night and we connected over work, career, challenges, travel and much more!

The day of the event arrived with lots of excitement & nerves. It sure was a grand setup and well managed by the tireless team from Devmio.

My session was titled “Keeping the Wheels of Continuous Testing in Motion“, and saw attendees from various countries and a variety of tech contexts! The session went well and had some great engagement from the attendees in form of questions and discussions and some nice feedback at the end.

Here is me meeting up with fellow speakers, catching the keynotes and networking with the delegates. Had some great conversations with my friends Simon Pearce, Martin Dulak, Nikhil Barthwal, and my fellow other female speaker at the event Almudena Vivanco !

It is insightful to hear from such varied personalities and humbling to be a part of such a world-class lineup of speakers! I am proud to be the only speaker to be invited from India, and one of 2 female speakers at the event!

Overall, this was a great experience. It not only gave me a chance to meet such wonderful people all under one roof, but also provided me the opportunity to travel to another amazing city- Berlin!

Thanking the event team Mirjam Kuhlmann, Robin Schoen and the entire DevOpsCon team!

This event will always hold a special place in my heart.

Cheers,

Nishi
