The 2020 edition of the Big Mountain Data and Dev Conference was held from October 22nd through the 23rd, 2020. The event took place online via Six Feet Up's LoudSwarm high impact virtual event platform. This year's event featured many exciting talks on topics such as Machine Learning, DevSecOps, and Serverless Cloud Infrastructure.

The conference has taken place every year since 2017; it is organized by Utah Geek Events. The organizers have always prided themselves on the network opportunities they offer at their events, and they wanted to make sure 2020 would be no different. They chose LoudSwarm to host this first virtual edition so that attendees would have access to all the benefits of a "Virtual Hallway Track." LoudSwarm seamlessly integrates Zoom calls, Q & A sessions, and Slack chat, allowing participants to experience all the benefits of an in-person conference from the comfort and safety of their own home.

The event was completely free and open to the public. To get more information, please visit the Utah Geek Events site.
