Exclusive Workshops at ChefConf 2017
// Chef Blog

ChefConf 2017, May 22-24 in Austin, TX is the place to be for the DevOps community! As an attendee, you'll join a very engaged group of practitioners interested in learning and sharing all things automation and DevOps. On the first day of the conference we are offering a variety of workshops that will provide hands-on learning opportunities. These workshops, delivered by Chef experts, are offered exclusively to ChefConf attendees and will deepen and strengthen your Chef skills.

As DevOps adoption continues to rise, the value of Chef capabilities is also dramatically increasing. A recent Dice Technology Salary Survey rates Chef skills among the top ten worldwide, commanding a salary of more than $130,000 annually.
