# Downside? Next week's Monitorama is sold out. Upside? There will tons of interesting folks in town

Event season is in full swing. Next week marks the second year where Portland serves as host for [Monitorama](http://monitorama.com/ "Monitorama"), an open source monitoring conference and hackathon. Unfortunately, it’s already sold out. But let’s not dwell on that half empty glass. There will be a [bunch of interesting folks in Portland speaking and attending the event](http://monitorama.com/#speakers "Monitorama speakers").

What’s the focus of Monitorama?

> Join us to hear talks from leading open source developers, web operations experts, and associated thought leaders. Find out which tools and techniques are in use at some of the largest web architectures in the world.

> Because you care about the tools that you work with. You’re an artisan within your team and you want to improve the monitoring toolkit. Oh, and because you understand that #monitoringlove isn’t just a bespoke laptop sticker.
