The QCon difference

Trusted by enterprise software development teams for over 19 years

Senior software practitioners first.

Real-world technical talks.

No hidden marketing, no sales pitches, no hype.

Hand-picked speakers by an international committee.

This is a conference by engineers for engineers. I didn't feel like I was being sold something as part of the presentations, but rather like I was learning from what is actually happening in other companies.

If you are having issues:

Make sure your setup is compatible with the above requirements.

Check your internet speed/quality and system.
It is important to disconnect from any VPN servers you might be using and ensure your firewall is configured properly. If connecting from a corporate network, make sure to forward the Firewall configuration to your IT department.
Try disabling your browser’s ad/cookie blocker.
If the problem persists, try using a different browser. If that helps, it means the original browser is causing the problem. Try clearing its cache and cookies to fix the problem.

See what peers say about QCon #QConSF

The conciseness with which the event is presented, as well as the options for the tracks, allow one to either mix and match talks or focus on a single track of interest. It's an interesting and wonderful approach. The long breaks and 'unconference' opportunities are also quite unique in their ability to connect people from seemingly different backgrounds.

Jonathan Tanye
Director Of Research Development @MineX 360 Services

Quality content and topics from industry experts and I like how that is separated very transparently from sponsors. I appreciate how sponsors have their place, but it's very clear and not deceptive mixed in with the content. It really is a conference that is specific technology agnostic and about any and all industry wide trends and best practices.

Mike Murray
Senior Director, Software Engineering@DriveTime

The speakers and the attendees make QCon stand out from other events. It is very well organized. QCon has a good balance of new tech to look out for along with the discussions around day to day problems that we face as developers

Vipra Ramtekkar
Development Engineer @ING

I love the variety of topics. It is my annual recap of the technology industry and helps me keep up with what the industry considers modern and state of the art. And mostly I like the fact that people are open about sharing both their successes and failures.

Nikhil Mohan
Senior MTS/ Engineering @Salesforce

QCon provides an opportunity to obtain new ideas and approaches to developing software. I have and would continue recommending QCon to anyone interested in keeping up with the latest trends by learning from those who are defining those trends.

Jeff Hollar
Architect @Cisco

QCon provides access to use-cases and practical information that truly delivers value for short-term adoption. Organizers are accessible and committed to excellence.

Higor Granzoto
Senior Developer @Padtec

QCon is a great place for industry leaders to share what they've learned, techniques they've discovered, and pitfalls to avoid without an overarching sponsor presence.
