At QCon San Francisco, we are embracing a new tradition. This year, we're not just focusing on the innovations that shape the future of software development - we're taking steps to give back to the community and the planet.
In our commitment to reduce waste and focus on what truly matters, we've chosen to forgo the usual conference swag and offer something meaningful.
Supporting initiatives with local impact

Beyond the gift itself, this initiative reflects a deeper purpose. The remainder of our gift budget will be donated to a cause close to our hearts:
- The Tipping Point Community, a nonprofit in the San Francisco Bay Area that finds, funds, and strengthens the most promising poverty-fighting solutions.
By attending QCon this year, you're investing in your local community. We believe in leaving a legacy that extends beyond technology. Join us in cultivating a culture of care and change to make a difference together with our gift of giving back.
