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.

Two-Day Advanced Training
Michael Nygard demonstrates how to design and architect systems that admit change—bending and flexing through time. Using a blend of information architecture, technical architecture, and some process change, Michael walks you through examples of rigid systems to show how to transform them into more maneuverable architecture.
This intensive, two-day, hands-on workshop teaches you DDD within an explicitly event-oriented microservices business domain. You will learn both strategic and tactical design. This workshop is specially designed for mid-level and senior software developers and architects who are interested in applying event-driven and microservices architectures using DDD.

Track Host Highlight
Co-Creator of Kubernetes & GCE Leads the Container track
Joe Beda started his career at Microsoft working on Internet Explorer (he was young and naive). Throughout his 7 years at Microsoft and 10 years at Google, Joe has worked on GUI frameworks, real-time voice and chat, telephony, machine learning for ads, and cloud computing. Most notably, while at Google Joe started the Google Compute Engine and, along with Brendan Burns and Heptio co-founder Craig McLuckie, created Kubernetes. Heptio works to bring Kubernetes, Containers and Cloud Native thinking to enterprises.
