A note from our Co-founder & CEO

The world of incident management is changing rapidly. With increasing complexity and growing expectations from customers, the stakes have never been higher. Alongside this, incidents are no longer confined to engineering—they require the entire organization to handle effectively.

Between a world of ITIL and academia, we think there’s a better way. Our incident management processes should be modern, human-centric, and pragmatic. Speaking to thousands of organizations in the past 3 years, there’s a wave of people that agree.

At SEV0, we’re hosting leaders at the cutting edge of incident management. It's a day for practical learning, not academic discussion. Hear from speakers at some of the fastest-growing companies and leave with advice you can implement the very next day.
