XConf is the tech conference created by technologists, for technologists who care deeply about the craft of software and its ability to make the world a better place.
This half-day, single-track event in the heart of New York City will host a diverse range of technology leaders, topics, and points of view. Talks are short and to the point, so we pack a ton of content into one afternoon.
