The third annual QCon New York brought together over 500 team leads, architects, project managers, and engineering directors. Over 100 practitioner-speakers presented 80 technical sessions and 14 in-depth tutorials over the course of five days, providing deep insights into real-world architectures and state of the art software development practices, from a practioner’s perspective. This year we introduced a discussion café at lunch with seating for 50 at 4 person tables.
