The LitmusChaos community is excited to announce the inaugural edition of its community conference, the LitmusChaosCon 2024, a one-day virtual-only conference on all things LitmusChaos and Chaos Engineering scheduled on September 12th 2024

Mark your calendars for September 12th of 2024 as the LitmusChaos community announces the first of many upcoming editions of the LitmusChaosCon, the community-only conference on all things Chaos Engineering.

In its 1st edition, LitmusChaosCon will aim to reach the community with a punch of exciting user stories surrounding the LitmusChaos tool, contributor stories,diverse use cases and demos, lightning talks workshops, running LitmusChaos with other open source tools, more chaos engineering stories, the latest developments in the resilience ecosystem, and chaos culture that provide attendees with valuable insights to start or mature their chaos engineering practices.

About LitmusChaosCon

LitmusChaosCon is an event surrounding all things LitmusChaos and Chaos Engineering. It is a platform for SREs, QA Engineers, Developers, Performance Engineers and Students to exchange their ideas, experience, contribution stories and usage of LitmusChaos. If one has worked with LitmusChaos or one aims to adopt the practice of Chaos Engineering, this is the conference to attend and build the journey towards resilience.

LitmusChaosCon is built on the theme, “The Chaos Engineering Community Conference,” for this year, reflecting the importance of Chaos Engineering for the community in achieving resilience goals in the fast-growing digital world. 

The conference organizes a call for papers (CFP) program from the community of chaos engineering experts, vendors and practitioners to create an exciting list of sessions through which learning opportunities are created around the best practices to get started on chaos engineering as well as to scale the practice efficiently. 

The virtual conference also brings live workshops to provide hands-on experience in running chaos experiments and interacting with the experts. The workshops have been highly successful in the previous editions. 

The event is for all personas but is of special interest for SREs, DevOps Engineers, Performance Engineers, Developers, QA Engineers, and Students. For the first event, we are hopeful to have attendees from the following projects: LitmusChaos, Chaos Mesh, Keptn, Chaos Blade, Argo, Flux, Krkn, OpenTelementry.
