QCon London International Software Development Conference & Certification Workshop. Apr 13-16, 2027

QCon London 2027

The decisions engineering teams make about AI this year shape what they can ship next year, and most of that judgment still comes from watching someone else run the experiment first.

QCon London 2027 runs April 13-15, 2027, at the QEII Centre in Westminster, London, with the InfoQ Certified Software Architect (ICSAET) certification training held separately on April 16. The program draws senior engineers, architects, and Staff+ practitioners with five or more years of experience who are making technical bets for teams shipping production systems.

The 2027 program spans 15 tracks, including:
Architectures You've Always Wondered About
Engineering AI Systems
Architecting for Agents
Resilience Engineering
Real World Platform Engineering
Data Platforms Reimagined
Staff+ Engineering Skills
Software Security and Risk Management
Native Languages and Wasm

Each track is placed on the technology adoption curve, so attendees know whether a given pattern is still emerging or already proven at scale.

An international program committee of working senior engineers selects each session. Speakers share systems they've built and run themselves, not product demonstrations: no hidden product pitches.

75+ international practitioner speakers, one speaker for every 11 attendees, unconference sessions, extended hallway time built into the schedule rather than taken from it, and 12 months of on-demand session recordings.

Engineering leaders and CTOs use the program to validate multi-year technology strategy. Architects and principal engineers take back tradeoffs from teams who've already scaled the systems they're planning to build. Senior developers and Staff+ engineers use it to sharpen judgment on problems close to their own.

Attendees are technical team leads and above or software architects (34%), senior developers and lead engineers (23%), and software developers (24%).
Registration is open with early bird deadlines.

Group discounts apply for teams of 3 or more from the same company.

"This is a conference by engineers for engineers. I didn't feel like I was being sold something, I was learning from what is actually happening in other companies." - Christopher Prigg, Senior Engineer @Tesco PLC

QCon has spent more than 20 years helping senior development teams adopt new technologies and practices, alongside InfoQ's community of 550,000+ monthly readers.

“QCon London is the best tech conference I’ve attended so far. I highly recommend it! The quality of the talks was outstanding, and it was all about learning and sharing experiences. No marketing or trying to push products on you.” - Sol Latorre, Senior Backend Engineer @N26 and QCon London 2025 Attendee

Become an InfoQ Certified Software Architect in Emerging Technologies (ICSAET)

A separate ticket adds the ICSAET certification to the conference, for a smaller group of architects with five or more years of senior experience.
It includes full conference access on April 13-15, cohort breakfasts and lunch discussions during the conference, a private channel for the group, and a half-day capstone workshop on April 16 where the cohort works through architectural problems together.
