Build better-connected teams in the heart of London.
With hybrid and remote working becoming the norm, team connectedness has become more important than ever. QCon London brings together international software development teams to connect over new ideas to current challenges, get clarity on emerging tech decisions, and build relationships that extend beyond the conference.
We’ve helped 1000’s of international software development teams improve their connectedness at QCon London since 2006
It is easy to forget the fact that we are not alone when facing typical problems in software development. QCon not only provides practitioners' point of view, but it also helps teams to validate their ideas and plans by listening to others.

"I do really recommend QCon, and several of my team attend globally (QCon SF as well as London). It is one of the best-curated conferences that we have found that isn't focused on a singular technology stack or dominated by a small set of vendors.
It gives an excellent feel for the tech community, what's hot, what's not, what's coming, and is very inspirational to our senior devs and architects by giving them access to a broad range of cutting-edge topics that would otherwise be difficult to research if we were even aware of them at all.
We've taken away several ideas that have turned into significant projects internally (Kafka-mediated messaging being the latest) and have a handful of items that we explore after each conference.
QCon is both an inspiration and a way of ensuring that we haven't drifted too far from the technical "sweet spot" of our industry."

Team connectedness beyond
QCon London
QCon isn't just about the conference. It is about connecting and spending quality face-to-face time with your team. Nothing can replace what happens when the whole team is together.
Fresh environment, fresh ideas
A change in scenery can increase happiness levels, boost productivity and awaken creativity. Give your team a chance to try something new, meet new people and step outside their comfort zone.
Bring together remote and hybrid teams
Unite your team to be inspired, solve problems together, welcome new team members, and connect as a team to build memories and relationships that last beyond the conference.
Fully immersive experience
Untether yourself from your desk and daily distractions. Immerse yourself in a new learning environment with new people, new ideas, and time to reflect.
Collaborate off-site, in local workspaces or coffee shops
Need some quiet time as a team? Escape the conference to work in one of the many coffee shops and workspaces. Or contact us if you'd like to hire a meeting space at the conference venue.
For me, it's hearing from people who live in the trenches vs sales. So much more value in this. We are also under pressure to be innovative, so hearing from early adopters of the upcoming tech can help make decisions on what might be interesting for us.

Due to QCon's focus on early-stage technology trends and the curated expert speakers, the material presented was visionary, fresh, and applicable for things we need to solve in our teams. The conference was well-facilitated, and the daily format (keynote/intro in AM introducing tracks) was compelling also."
