QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for technical team leads, architects, and project managers who influence software innovation in their teams.

Technical Track

Reactive Architecture:
Learning about how to create reactive systems is more than simply learning a new framework. Thinking in a reactive fashion helps you to design more responsive, more robust architectures. Learn all about the latest trends in this track.

Taming Microservices:
Tackling the challenges of microservices in practice

Internet of Things:
IoT has a lot of buzz at the moment. What is the reality of what's being built, what works and how does it work? What do software developers need to know in order to design and build for instrumented environments and reactive things, and what new issues and questions (security, scale, messaging?) does it raise?

Modern CS in the Real World:
How modern CS helps you tackle today's problems

Docker, containers and application portability:
Containers have been an operating system feature for some time; now they're a hot topic due to the growth of Docker and its ecosystem. This track will feature people building stuff for and with containers who will show why application portability is so important, and what can be done with the expanding ecosystem.

Big Data Frameworks, Big Data Architectures, and Data Science:
Designing and building modern big data frameworks, and building machine learning models from that data. As big data tools and architectures continue to evolve, how do you architect and select technologies that work now but are also future-proof? What frameworks and architectures are interesting right now, and how do you get the best from them? How do you build and run performant machine learning models, and how do you do 'data science' with that big data?

Solution Track

Low latency trading:
The 'race to zero' continues. Join us to learn about the latest tecniques being deployed to optimise order routing and execution.
