We attend QCon together as it's the best way to learn, discuss ideas, and get aligned.

QCon puts more emphasis on the human connections between the sessions.

Unconferences are a space for everyone to share best practices.

Connections. Everyone here is passionate about what they do and how they grow.

I do really recommend QCon, and several of my team attend globally. It is one of the best-curated conferences that we have found that isn't focused on a singular technology stack or dominated by a small set of vendors. It gives an excellent feel for the tech community, what's hot, what's not, what's coming, and is very inspirational to our senior devs and architects.

It is easy to forget the fact that we are not alone when facing typical problems in software development. QCon not only provides practitioners' point of view, but it also helps teams to validate their ideas and plans by listening to others.

The speakers and the attendees make QCon stand out … a good balance of new tech to look out for along with the discussions around day to day problems that we face as developers.
