Is there any discount for returning attendees (alumni)?
We offer GBP100 off of a QCon London conference ticket to returning attendees as a thank you for their loyalty.
Why do I need to be charged VAT on this ticket purchase?
The place of supplies of services in respect of admission to this QCon event is dictated by where the event actually takes place. In this case as the conference is to be held in London, the VAT place of supply is the UK and so we are required to charge UK VAT to an attendee and file and submit the VAT charged quarterly to the HM Revenue and Customs.
How do I select my workshops?
If you purchased a ticket including workshops, you will receive an email with your access code to login on the QCon website and pick your workshops online. You need to pick your workshops ASAP to secure your seat as workshops have limited availability and selections are on a first-come, first-served basis. Please check your spams if you can't find the email from webmaster@qconlondon.com.
Can I pick 2 half-day workshops on a different day?
No, if you purchase one day of workshop(s), you can either attend on Thursday or Friday. You can’t select a half-day workshop on Thursday and a half-day workshop on Friday.
Is there a call for papers?
We do not have a formal CFP and usually directly invite our speakers, however, we do have a submission form for spontaneous submissions on https://qconlondon.com/talk-submissions
