Become an InfoQ Certified Software Architect in Emerging Technologies (ICSAET)
For a smaller cohort of senior leaders, we offer a unique, integrated program that culminates in the InfoQ Certified Software Architect in Emerging Technologies (ICSAET) certification.
This isn't a typical certification. It’s a 4-day immersive leadership track designed for architects with 5+ years of senior experience. The journey includes:
Full conference access (March 16-18): Your experience is anchored by the main QCon London 2026 conference, where you'll absorb insights from 75+ senior practitioners.
Curated cohort experience: You'll be part of a select peer group, with exclusive cohort breakfasts, focused lunch discussions, and private networking channels to foster deep connections.
Hands-on workshop (March 19): The program culminates in a half-day, hands-on workshop where you will collaborate with your cohort to solve complex, real-world architectural problems, applying the knowledge gained during the conference.
Empower your dev teams for a rapidly evolving tech landscape.
QCon London 2026 provides your engineering teams with the actionable insights, strategic perspectives, and vital peer connections to tackle complex enterprise challenges and drive significant impact within your organization.
