QCon San Francisco is a conference for senior software engineers and architects on the patterns, practices, and use cases leveraged by the world’s most innovative software shops.
QCon always represents the latest software technology trends to the audience. What makes QCon different for me is the organiser and how it is organised. Lots of care, love and passion are put in it.
