What is XConf: 


With its relaxed atmosphere and focus on high-quality topics and talks, XConf offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded technologists. It’s a space to explore bold ideas, challenge yourself with fresh perspectives and deepen your understanding of the role technology plays in solving real-world problems. Like catching up with old friends at a class reunion, XConf combines familiarity and inspiration in a way that leaves a lasting impact.

 

Why you should attend:
 
  • Actionable insight: XConf is built on Thoughtworks’ and our clients’ years of experience tackling complex problems across industries and markets, so you’ll leave with practical insights you can use right away.

  • Deep technical knowledge: For more than 30 years, Thoughtworks has been at the forefront of technological innovation, introducing practices like continuous delivery, data mesh, microservices, infrastructure as code and AI-first software delivery. XConf brings together the technologists who shape these innovations to share what works, what doesn’t and what’s next. 

  • A diverse lineup: XConf celebrates diversity with the target of a 50/50 gender split among our speakers. This ensures a balance of perspectives and insights from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.
