QCon 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.

Christopher Prigg
Senior Engineer @Tesco PLC

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
