DevOpsDays Bogotá is described by its organisers as one of the largest DevOps community events in Latin America, bringing together engineers, architects and technology leaders from across Colombia and the wider region. The previous edition drew more than 1,400 regional professionals. The conference follows the established DevOpsDays structure — curated talks paired with lightning sessions, open spaces and substantial networking time — applied to a Latin American engineering context. Colombia's technology sector has expanded rapidly, and the event has grown alongside it into a regional rather than merely national gathering. Programming covers platform engineering, cloud-native architecture, observability practice, DevSecOps, FinOps, continuous integration and delivery, and the application of artificial intelligence to software engineering. Organisational culture and the human side of operations receive attention alongside the technical material, consistent with the DevOpsDays tradition. Organisers state a clear preference for practical, real-world experience over vendor presentations, keeping the programme grounded in what teams have actually run. For DevOps practitioners across Latin America, Bogotá is among the region's most substantial annual gatherings.
DevOpsDays Bogotá 2026 takes place October 23, 2026 in Bogotá, Colombia.
DevOpsDays Bogotá 2026 is an in-person event.
Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Bogotá sits at roughly 2,640 metres, and the altitude is the first thing most visitors notice — mild breathlessness on stairs during the first day is normal. October falls in a wetter period, with cool days rarely exceeding the high teens Celsius and cold evenings. Most conference visitors base themselves in Chapinero or the Zona Rosa, safe and well-served districts north of the historic centre.
El Dorado International (BOG) is the busiest airport in Colombia and sits roughly 30 to 45 minutes from the northern business districts, longer in heavy traffic. Official airport taxis and ride-hailing apps both serve the route. The TransMilenio bus rapid transit system covers the city on dedicated lanes and is the fastest surface option, though it is crowded at peak times.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Kiwitaxi. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on Localrent.

Mobile coverage across Bogotá is good in the central and northern districts. An eSIM activated before arrival is worth arranging, as ride-hailing apps are the standard way to move around the city after dark and depend on a working connection. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Museo del Oro. The Gold Museum holds tens of thousands of pre-Hispanic goldwork pieces, the largest such collection anywhere, with the Muisca raft as its centrepiece. Centrally located near La Candelaria and well presented in English. Allow two hours.
Monserrate. A church on a peak above the city at 3,150 metres, reached by funicular or cable car, giving a full view across the plateau. Go on a clear morning; afternoons cloud over. Two hours including the ascent and queuing. Tickets on Tiqets →
La Candelaria. The colonial old town of painted façades and steep narrow streets, holding the main museums, the cathedral and the Botero donation. Best visited during daylight hours with normal urban caution. Half a day covers the district and its museums.
Zona G and Chapinero. North of the centre, the city's restaurant district covers everything from traditional ajiaco to serious contemporary cooking. Walkable within itself and close to most conference hotels. The natural choice for an evening without a long journey.
Will the altitude affect me?
Bogotá sits at around 2,640 metres, so mild breathlessness and fatigue are common on the first day. Take it easy initially, stay hydrated and moderate alcohol.
What is the weather like in October?
Cool and often wet, with daytime temperatures in the mid to high teens Celsius and cold evenings. A warm layer and rain jacket are both necessary.
How do I get around the city?
Ride-hailing apps are the most convenient option for visitors. TransMilenio is fast on its dedicated lanes but crowded during peak hours.
