Discover the future of modern software delivery at this year’s Galaxy 2023 conference on October 25-26. Join us for two electrifying days of innovation and insights, where you’ll explore the new frontier of DevOps, see how your peers are driving change, and learn to do it yourself with hands-on workshops.

This year’s agenda is packed with speakers, presentations, technical sessions, and even a surprise keynote speaker—all designed to help you build products that your customers love. We could easily list a hundred, but let’s home in on the top five reasons to attend Galaxy 2023

1. Discover what's next for LaunchDarkly

The era of DevOps has spurred innovations from CI/CD to agile planning and more. But developers still don't know whether the code they continuously deliver provides value for their customers. And, even worse, they can’t be sure whether their code will damage the customer experience.

At Galaxy23, you’ll forge ahead into a new DevOps frontier—where engineering teams can confidently build products that customers love. Learn how LaunchDarkly is evolving to help engineers across every aspect of software releases, from progressive rollouts to product experimentation. And be the first to see demonstrations of LaunchDarkly’s new release automation and measurement capabilities.

Galaxy Session Spotlight:

The Next Frontier of DevOps: Helping Engineering Teams Build Products Customers Love

In this keynote, LaunchDarkly CEO Dan Rogers reveals LaunchDarkly’s vision for the future of software delivery—including insights from customers and live product demos of new features.

2. Gain hands-on experience

In today’s world, rolling out changes to your dev team a week before pushing to production just won't cut it. Teams want faster, risk-free deployments. And, at Galaxy23, you’ll discover how LaunchDarkly is changing the way teams ship software to make that happen. 

Join LaunchDarkly experts to get hands-on with real code and learn how to roll out engaging and impactful digital experiences, safely and continuously. No fake demos here—just you, your keyboard, and all the software building, shipping, and releasing you can handle.
