QCon conferences are a series of international software development conferences organized by InfoQ, a community-driven online publication focused on software development and emerging technologies. The events bring together industry professionals, thought leaders, and experts to share knowledge, insights, and experiences in various aspects of software development, architecture, and engineering.
