Velocity Conference London 2017 – VLOG 8

Velocity is a web performance, systems engineering, and operations conference that is organized by O’Reilly. The 2017 European edition takes place in London.

I attended the event, and flew directly from Copenhagen where I spent the start of the week to attend DockerCon. There’s also a vlog about that.

Have a look at Vlog 8 where I cover my travel, the Velocity conference, and the city of London:

The event was hosted in the Hilton London Metropole at Edgeware Road. A huge hotel with lots of conference facilities.

But honestely: It’s annoyingly big and a bit dated. The conference however was on point.

There was also a sponsor pavilion, and I managed to score some swag for my colleagues:
