I'm an organizer for one of the (many) DevOpsDays Conferences held around the world. Speaking only for myself, I struggle with making sure that DevOps is about Dev and Ops working together, not just Ops / SysAdmins using a different, more marketable job title. When Operations Engineers become DevOps Engineers, it subconsciously says to Developers that they don't belong.
I'd encourage all of you that feel excluded, or feel like these are just SysAdmin conferences in sheeps clothing, to go to your local DevOps Meetup and start there. Demand that DevOps continues to stand for a community and cultural way of making software development suck less and not just "the next Agile". /rant over
