Software Development AI Systems Cloud Computing
QCon San Francisco is organized by InfoQ and targets senior software engineers, architects, and technical leads who want deep practical content on software architecture and engineering at scale. The conference runs November 16-18, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco on the Embarcadero waterfront, with optional extended training workshops on November 19-20 for registered attendees. QCon tracks cover distributed systems, AI and machine learning in production, platform engineering and developer experience, reliability engineering, and modern software architecture patterns. Speakers are practitioners drawn from leading engineering organizations rather than product vendors. The Embarcadero location puts the conference steps from the Ferry Building, BART’s Embarcadero station, and the San Francisco waterfront.
