X-Ops Conference Madrid 2026

X-Ops Conference is a community-run Spanish conference for the wider "Ops" family: DevOps, DevSecOps, AIOps, MLOps and platform engineering, with a strong security accent that reflects its founders' roots in the Spanish hacking scene. The 2026 Madrid edition, the third under the X-Ops name after a 2023 precursor event called Aldea DevSecOps, grows to three days. Thursday 19 November is the X-Ops Summit, a separate executive day capped at about 90 CTOs, CISOs and engineering directors, held at the Fundación Juan XXIII in Madrid. Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November are the technical conference in the auditorium of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos campus in Móstoles, on the south-west edge of the Madrid metro area. The audience is engineers, SREs, platform and security people of all levels. Past programmes mixed a main track of practitioner talks and workshops with a co-located BSides Madrid security track and a hyperscaler track, and most sessions are in Spanish with some in English. Speakers were chosen through a Sessionize call that ran from mid-May to the end of September 2026. The ticket page lists six ticket types starting at EUR 15; check the official site for the current tiers. A sister edition runs in Dubai from 30 November.
