QCon New York (June 24-26, 2019) isn't just a software conference; it's the software conference where leading technology organisations like Slack, Google, Uber, and Netflix open their doors and share their engineering successes and failures. QCon is the place where senior software engineers, tech leads, and architects come together to learn, share, and push each other to drive forward innovation in the software industry.
What makes QCon New York so special?
Over 1200 software engineers come together for technical talks, panels, "ask me anythings" (AMAs), open spaces, and networking at QCon. Combining full access to speakers, prioritization of content from practitioners over evangelists, and a relentless pursuit to separate vendor pitches from technical knowledge sharing, QCon is the tribe for senior software engineers.
Julia Grace (Senior Director of Infrastructure Engineering @Slack) is just one example of the over 105 speakers you'll find at QCon New York this year.

The QCon team actively seeks feedback, and recent evaluations have helped drive the creation of a unique event within the technology leadership space:
QCon is unlike any other tech conference I've attended. There are several tracks to choose from, but not an overwhelming number of attendees, so it's easy to gain knowledge about a variety of topics, open your mind to new ideas, find inspiration to solve engineering challenges and chat with a lot of smart & thoughtful people. I was impressed by the conscious inclusion of many women and LGBTQ speakers—that meant a lot to me personally and made QCon even better by spotlighting a diverse range of perspectives.
