Curated learning set by senior software leaders.
Behind every QCon is a Program Committee of senior software leaders who curate the essential topics you need to know about. Meet the QCon Plus May 2022 Program Committee.
We’ve designed QCon Plus to help you learn from the experts and connect with like-minded peers. Sessions are composed of keynotes from world-class domain experts, deep dives into tech with the leading authorities, Q&As, and an opportunity to engage with peers to help answer your questions. You’ll gain actionable ideas that you can take back to your team and implement right away.

QCon Plus brought to you by
the makers of QCon and InfoQ
We’ve been helping software development teams adopt new technologies and practices for over 17 years. The driving force behind every QCon conference is our passion to accelerate the software side of human progress.
Senior software developers rely on QCon and InfoQ to keep ahead of the adoption curve. One of the main reasons senior software engineers, software architects and team leads tell us they keep coming back to QCon and InfoQ is because they trust the information provided and selected by their peers. Join a global professional engineering community and adopt the right software innovations and practices.
