FAQ.
If your question's not in here, ask it in the AMA Marquee — that's literally what it's for.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Zero. Free. We've never charged for Incident Fest and we're not going to start now. Uptime Labs pays for the bandwidth.
Do I have to attend live?
Technically no as the talks will be recorded and the prize & poll booths will stay open afterwards. But we encourage live attendance to ask questions at the AMA and talks.
What's the AI angle, really?
AI-assisted development is increasing (and will continue to increase) the rate at which software is created. AI will also continue to be rolled out across parts of incident response. What’s unknown is its effect on the volume, frequency and complexity of incidents. That’s the context which this festival aims to explore.
