Arrival airports
Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.
El Dorado International Airport
BOG is the main international gateway for the Bogotá metro area and the airport referenced in the flight captures for this event. Taxi and ride-hailing pick-up is from the authorised ranks at the terminal exits; TransMilenio feeder and SITP services connect the airport with the trunk network on the reloadable Tu Llave card. Bogotá has no second commercial international airport, so delegates connecting from Medellín, Cali or Cartagena arrive here. Confirm the current terminal-to-venue route before travel

Language
Bogotá runs in Spanish day to day; conference content and venue staff may switch to English, but basic Spanish phrases help with taxis, menus and transit cards.
Altitude
The city sits about 2,600 m above sea level - pace the first day, drink water, and expect cooler evenings than the latitude suggests.
Getting around safely
Use authorised taxi ranks and app cars, keep the Tu Llave transit card loaded, and plan routes with Moovit before heading out after the sessions.

Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Flights
Destination: BOG
Book to El Dorado (BOG), the primary international gateway for Bogotá. The flight missions ran against SYD, LHR, NRT and JFK departure points for 23 October 2026, but the Google Flights results returned were domestic Colombian legs (for example Medellín-Bogotá from COP 132,280 nonstop and Cali-Bogotá from COP 107,480 nonstop), not long-haul fares. Treat those as internal connection benchmarks only and price long-haul legs separately; 23 October is a single-day event, so land at least a day early.
Transport
Get to the venue and around the city with these options.
Airport → venue: Primary gateways: El Dorado International Airport (BOG): Approx. 25-45 min by taxi or ride-hailing in normal traffic, longer in weekday rush hours (07:00-09:30 and 17:00-19:30). Allow road or rail time to Centro de Convenciones Compensar; on-site parking is usually available at major exhibition venues.
Hotel → venue: Precinct hotels near Centro de Convenciones Compensar: Chapinero / city centre: Chapinero / city centre; Bogotá (citywide listing): Bogotá (citywide listing); Bogotá: Bogotá.
Ride-hail: Ride-hailing apps are commonly used in Bogotá; confirm local availability before travel.
Public transit: Bogotá's backbone is TransMilenio, a bus rapid transit network with dedicated lanes and feeder buses from outer districts; blue SITP buses fill the gaps. Both run on the reloadable Tu Llave card bought at station counters, with single journeys priced in the low thousands of pesos. Plan routes on Moovit before leaving the hotel and keep the card loaded for the return leg after the conference day.
Parking: On-site parking is available at Centro de Convenciones Compensar; confirm daily rates and hall access on the organiser or venue site.
Weather
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026
Temperature: Daytime highs around 22°C, overnight lows near 10°C on 23 October 2026 (Open-Meteo forecast estimate).
Seasonality: Late October falls in Bogotá's second rainy period of the year, and the 23 October forecast points to drizzle; short afternoon showers are common across the Sabana.
Packing: Pack a light waterproof shell or compact umbrella, a warm mid-layer for the cool high-altitude evenings, and comfortable shoes for walking between conference rooms. Sun protection matters at this elevation even under cloud.

Answers
Frequently asked
What is DevOpsDays Bogotá and who runs it?
It is the Bogotá edition of DevOpsDays, a community-organised conference series for people who build, run and secure software systems. The programme combines short scheduled talks with Open Spaces, the unconference format where attendees set the afternoon agenda themselves. The local volunteer team runs the event; the official domain for this edition is devopsdaysbogota.org, and the schedule page there is the authoritative source for the day's running order.
When and where does the 2026 edition take place?
The listing date is 23 October 2026 in Bogotá, Colombia. Venue references in the current captures point to Centro de Convenciones Compensar on the city's main conference circuit - confirm the final venue and room block on devopsdaysbogota.org before you book non-refundable travel, because single-day community events occasionally move rooms within the same complex.
Who should attend - is it only for sysadmins?
No. The DevOpsDays audience in Bogotá is typically a mix of site reliability engineers, platform and cloud engineers, backend developers, QA and test automation leads, security engineers, data and infrastructure engineers, and the engineering managers who sponsor this work. If your job touches deployments, incident response, observability or developer tooling, the Open Spaces format lets you steer the conversation toward your own problem instead of only listening to vendor talks.
Are the talks in Spanish or English?
The organiser has not published a language policy in the captures reviewed here. Bogotá tech conferences of this type usually run in Spanish with a minority of English-language sessions, so check the published schedule for each talk's language and expect bilingual hallway conversations. Plan for Spanish in the Open Spaces, where attendees propose topics on the spot.
How much does a ticket cost?
Ticket prices were not captured for this edition, so no figure is published here. DevOpsDays events are run on a non-profit basis with community-level pricing, and capacity is usually limited by the venue room rather than by demand. Check devopsdaysbogota.org for the current ticket page, any student or scholarship rate, and the refund cut-off before you commit to flights.
What actually happens in the Open Spaces block?
At the start of the block, attendees write topics on cards, the organisers build a grid of rooms and time slots, and each session becomes a facilitated conversation with whoever chose to attend. There are no slides and no prepared keynote. Useful preparation is to arrive with one concrete problem - a flaky pipeline, an on-call rotation that burns people out, a cost overrun on Kubernetes - so you can pitch it in one sentence and get several practitioners in a circle.
How do I get from El Dorado airport to the venue?
El Dorado International Airport (BOG) serves the city, with the journey to the central conference district taking roughly 25-45 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing depending on traffic, at an approximate fare of COP 25,000-45,000 - confirm the meter or app quote before you leave the terminal. The cheaper option is the TransMilenio bus rapid transit network with SITP feeder buses, which needs a reloadable Tu Llave card bought at station windows. Allow extra time on arrival day if you are carrying luggage.
Is there a code of conduct and a harassment policy?
DevOpsDays events publish a code of conduct that applies to attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers, and organisers are expected to enforce it during the event and at social activities. The Bogotá team's current wording and the reporting contact should be on the official site - read it before the event, and if you cannot find it, ask the organisers directly rather than assuming it does not apply.
Can I propose a talk or a lightning session?
DevOpsDays editions generally open a call for proposals ahead of the event and reserve Ignite-style short slots on the day itself. The status of the call for proposals for this edition was not captured, so check the schedule and news page on devopsdaysbogota.org for the submission form, the topic guidance and the notification timeline. Even without a slot, Open Spaces gives you a route to the stage-less part of the programme.
Is there an exhibition hall I can walk with a sponsor badge?
DevOpsDays is not a classic exhibition-stand fair. Sponsors usually appear as a sponsor table area in the coffee and lunch space, on stage mentions, and in the social event, rather than in a numbered exhibition hall. If you are evaluating vendors, plan short conversations at the tables between sessions; if you are a vendor, ask the organisers which sponsorship tiers are still open before printing collateral.
What should I pack for late October in Bogotá?
Bogotá sits at roughly 2,600 m and is mild rather than tropical in late October. Public forecasts for 23 October 2026 point to drizzle with highs near 22°C and lows near 10°C, so bring a warm layer for early mornings and the evening, a compact umbrella or rain shell, and shoes that cope with wet pavements. The altitude is noticeable on the first day - pace the arrival day and keep water on hand.
Glossary
- DevOps
- The working culture and toolchain that merges software development and IT operations so that code reaches production faster, with shared ownership of reliability instead of a hand-off between separate teams.
- CI/CD pipeline
- Continuous integration and continuous delivery: every commit is built and tested automatically, then promoted through staging toward production by an automated, repeatable pipeline rather than manual releases.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
- Describing servers, networks, clusters and cloud resources in versioned configuration files (Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, Ansible) so environments are reproducible and reviewable like application code.
- GitOps
- An operating model where a Git repository is the single source of truth for the desired state of the platform, and an agent reconciles the live environment to match it - common with Kubernetes and Argo CD or Flux.
- Observability
- The ability to answer new questions about a running system from its telemetry - logs, metrics and distributed traces correlated together - rather than only checking pre-defined dashboards.
- SRE (Site Reliability Engineering)
- A discipline that applies software engineering to operations problems, using service level objectives, error budgets and automation to balance release velocity against reliability.
- SLI, SLO and error budget
- An SLI is the measured signal (for example, share of successful requests); an SLO is the target for that signal; the error budget is the allowed amount of failure inside the target, which teams spend on releases and experiments.
- Blameless postmortem
- A structured review after an incident that focuses on system conditions, tooling and decision context rather than individual fault, so the organisation learns without people hiding mistakes.
- Platform engineering
- Building an internal developer platform - golden paths, self-service environments, templates and guardrails - so product teams can ship without becoming infrastructure specialists.
- DORA metrics
- The four delivery measures popularised by the DORA research programme: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate and time to restore service. Used to track delivery performance, not to rank individuals.
- Open Spaces
- The unconference format used in the DevOpsDays series: attendees propose topics on the day, build a session grid, and convene their own discussion circles instead of watching slides. Whoever shows up is the right group.
- Ignite talks
- Short five-minute talks on auto-advancing slides, a DevOpsDays staple used to surface many quick ideas and local case studies in a single block.
- Shift left
- Moving quality, security and testing work earlier in the delivery lifecycle - into design and pull requests - so defects and vulnerabilities are caught before deployment.
- FinOps
- The practice of making cloud cost a shared engineering responsibility, using tagging, showback, budget alerts and architectural choices to keep spend aligned with value.
