QCon is an enterprise software development conference for team leads, architects, and project managers covering Architecture & Design, Java, Mobile, awesome case studies, functional programming, Lean and Kanban, Cloud Computing, Big Data & NoSQL, emerging languages, and other timely topics.

We are currently in the process of assembling the sessions and speakers for QCon SF with an initial schedule to be posted in early July and completed over the summer. The tracks at QCon San Francisco 2011 include:
