<p>This question reminded me about this quote about the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Etymology of DevOps, From Wikipedia</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>At the Agile 2008 conference, Andrew Clay Shafer and Patrick Debois discussed "<a href="http://www.jedi.be/blog/2008/10/09/agile-2008-toronto-agile-infrastructure-and-operations-presentation/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Agile Infrastructure</a>". The term DevOps was popularized through a series of <a href="http://www.devopsdays.org/events/2009-ghent/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"devopsdays" starting in 2009 in Belgium</a>.

<p>So at the risk it may not 100% fit the rules in your question, I thought I'd post what, IMO, is "the reference" to get an up-to-date answer if you ever wonder something like</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>What's up in DevOps-land?</strong></p>
</blockquote>

<p>In such case, you probably can find the answer to your question at <a href="http://www.devopsdays.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.devopsdays.org/</a> .</p>

<p>At this very moment, it shows links to these locations:</p>

I think you should try to rephrase "most", "significant" and "annual" (eg to avoid it is closed as an opinion based question). Eg: just omit all 3 words? Be aware: there are such conferences that are not exactly "annual" (eg: every 18 months ...) Also, try to describe the "relationship" (as per your "related". PS: Devops or DevOps?

I'm voting to close this question because it is a list question and those are not allowed on SE sites. Some sites do allow it, but only on meta or only as community-wiki question.

@THelper I have already flagged it for the mods to make it a community-wiki :) So, I request you to re-consider your vote!

Ok, that helps. But I'm wondering how long this list of conferences is going to be. If I google on "devops conference" I get 50.000+ hits. I am in favor of community-wiki list questions as long as the lists are relatively short. For questions with long lists and/or lists that change rapidly I'm against.

I agree with @THelper. I don't think this question is suitable for a Q&A format. There's just too many answers, too much location specific and events could rapidly change (no use for future readers unless well maintained).

[Velocity Conference](https://conferences.oreilly.com/velocity) is one of the most popular Devops conferences, and also is an O'Reilly conference.

From it's website:

> At Velocity, systems, site reliability, and systems engineers, systems

The videos of the conference are present on [O'Reilly's youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/user/OreillyMedia/search?query=velocity).

This question reminded me about this quote about the [Etymology of DevOps, From Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps):

> At the Agile 2008 conference, Andrew Clay Shafer and Patrick Debois discussed "[Agile Infrastructure](http://www.jedi.be/blog/2008/10/09/agile-2008-toronto-agile-infrastructure-and-operations-presentation/)". The term DevOps was popularized through a series of ["devopsdays" starting in 2009 in Belgium](http://www.devopsdays.org/events/2009-ghent/). Since then, there have been devopsdays conferences, held in [many countries, worldwide](http://www.devopsdays.org/).

So at the risk it may not 100% fit the rules in your question, I thought I'd post what, IMO, is "the reference" to get an up-to-date answer if you ever wonder something like

> **What's up in DevOps-land?**

In such case, you probably can find the answer to your question at <http://www.devopsdays.org/> .

At this very moment, it shows links to these locations:

> Beijing - Vancouver - Denver - Atlanta - Tokyo - Seattle - Zürich - Austin - Stockholm - Salt Lake City - Toronto - Amsterdam - Washington, DC - Minneapolis - Portland - Dallas - Raleigh - Chicago - Detroit - Istanbul - Paris - Hartford - Philadelphia - Oslo - Cape Town

PS: From the above quote, it should also be clear what the relationship is with DevOps and Chocolats, Beer, Fries and ... Drupal.
