QCon is the enterprise software development conference designed for team leads, architects, and project management and is organized by the community, for the community. As software developers and architects ourselves, we wanted to craft the ultimate conference.
The result is a high quality conference experience where a tremendous amount of attention and investment has gone into having the best content on the most important topics presented by the leaders in our community, staged in an intimate environment with the best food and comforts needed to support as much learning and networking as possible.
QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for team leads, architects and project management. There is no other event in the US with similar opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the enterprise software development community. Plus, we always have awesome speakers!
QCon runs five times a year in London, San Francisco, Tokyo, Beijing, and Sao Paulo.

Conferences like this are energizing; they make you re-examine what you are doing and may kick you into a better place.
If you’ve never heard of QCon before, the conference bills itself as a conference for and by software developers and architects of any “denomination”. Walking the hallways you are equally likely to encounter a Rubyist, Javaan or .NET aficionado. This refreshing diversity leads to interesting presentations and coffee-corner conversations.
I have found Mecca...the Holy Land. So often I've paid to attend a conference - and felt that there were spots of "goodness" in the sessions that typically stretch on throughout a long day/week - but rarely felt that I was really getting my money's worth for the not insignificant time and expense that I sacrificed to travel and to attend a conference. Not so today. Every session I have attended today has been right on target with the particular interests I have as an enterprise architect.
If you have any interest at all in leading edge software and computing topics being presented by the world's most knowledgeable speakers in a fun atmosphere, go to QCon. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
