In addition to this lineup of keynote speakers, there will be panels on topics covering innovation, speed and optimization, scalability and redundancy, security, and managing and controlling infrastructure. These panels will be conducted by leaders in tech companies like Box, Etsy, and Red Hat.
While there will be a lot of information to be learned, there will also be plenty of fun to be had at Geek Summer Camp. The first day will conclude with a concert headlined by multi-platinum selling South African Rock band The Parlotones.
