The Jenkins project, comprised of the community of practitioners using open source Jenkins, announced the dates for the Jenkins World 2016 conference. The event will be held in Santa Clara on September 13-15 at the Santa Clara Convention Center.

Building on the success of past Jenkins User Conferences (JUC), the 2016 event will be a three-day, multi-track global event comprised of everything Jenkins: community, CloudBees and ecosystem. Once again, CloudBees,Inc, the enterprise Jenkins company and continuous delivery leader, will be the lead organizer and premier sponsor.

Jenkins World will bring together the largest gathering of Jenkins users in the world, including Jenkins experts, continuous delivery thought leaders and companies offering complementary technologies for Jenkins. Jenkins World will provide opportunities for attendees to learn, explore and network face-to-face, as well as to help shape the future of Jenkins.

Jenkins World will feature four tracks and more than 40 sessions to help users get the most business value out of Jenkins.

“The new structure of Jenkins World is a testament to the strong growth the community and ecosystem have experienced over the past several years. This is the first time ever that we will invite everyone from around the world to finally meet in one place,” said Kohsuke Kawaguchi, founder of the Jenkins project and CTO, CloudBees. “Having a three-day event for all Jenkins people – from newbie users to long-time plugin developers – to come together to exchange ideas, share best practices and strike up conversations will help to strengthen the community and spark new ideas for the Jenkins project.”
