The QCon Code of Conduct
We designed QCon as a place where everyone feels safe to express themselves, learn, and succeed in adopting new technology and practices that create change and innovation.
Learn about our Code of ConductWhat are our attendees saying?
Attending QCon was the bridge that connected me with resources, speakers, and recognized people in the industry and best of all it was an inspiration to dream of becoming a speaker. I started to practice my talks using the body language of the speakers I saw at the event and soon the first doors in Colombia opened and my stories with Chaos Engineering started to be accepted in meetups and local conferences. ”

The quality of most of the talks was high. I liked that the speakers are diverse. It made me feel welcomed and that my questions are welcomed.
Christine Schwerdtfeger, Software Engineer at Enova International (QCon San Francisco 2018 attendee)
