The Top 7 Reasons to Attend JCONF.DEV 2024

5 Tracks

With JCONF.DEV's track-based format, you can tackle your most pressing problems. Are you focusing on performance? Developing a strategic plan for mobile? Needing to scale your web application for the next 10,000 to 1,000,000 customers? We address some of the most common and complex problems software engineers face and give you ideas and solutions you can take back with you to fix it.

Stack exposure

At JCONF.DEV we don't just look at the full stack, but all the possibilities. You'll find out which technologies work best together and which have the capabilities you need. Learn from experts--see examples, learn from their mistakes, ask questions in person, and benefit from their wisdom. You'll be exposed to different stacks, get to test drive features, learn other programming paradigms, and walk away with a list of new strategies and tools to try back in the workplace.

Uninterrupted focus

It's a huge advantage to be away from work and constant interruptions, acquiring the knowledge you need to move projects forward. At JCONF.DEV, you can ask questions, compare notes with fellow attendees, and immerse yourself in the subject matter you've set out to learn. And with a one-day workshop/training day, you can delve as deeply into a topic as you need to

Stay Current

Technology changes fast. Keep pace with new developments, best practices, products, services, and trends at JCONF.DEV. From start-ups to some of the world's most successful companies, see how others are incorporating enterprise and open source technologies to achieve their business goals. Get your hands on some of those tools and technologies you've been hearing about, but haven't had the chance to try (WebAssembly anyone?).

The Hallway Track

A developer conference is not just about the sessions, its about the people. At JCONF.DEV the hallway track is where have conversations and you gain knowledge and contacts that’s often as valuable as the sessions you attend. See Venkat Subramaniam wandering by? Stop him and say hi. He is the nicest guy you can meet and gives freely of his time and expertise to attendees. In line for lunch and see Josh Long? Invite him to sit with you and chat
