The sixth annual QCon New York was the biggest yet, bringing together over 1,100 team leads, architects, project managers, and engineering directors - up from last year's record of 940. It was also the first to take place in our new home in Times Square.
During his opening keynote Site Reliability Manager at Google, Matt Sakaguchi presented research from Google on creating effective teams. On day 2, Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder @CrowdStrike who uncovered the 2016 DNC Hack talked about "lessons learned from fighting nation states in cyber space," and on day 3, Cathy Polinsky, CTO & head of engineering and product at StitchFix, talked about building a company on data.
In total, over 130 practitioner-speakers presented 80 full-length technical sessions, 75 talks, and 17 in-depth tutorials, three keynotes, and 12 open spaces over the course of five days, providing deep insights into real-world architectures and state of the art software development practices from a practitioner's perspective.
Videos of most presentations were available to attendees within 24 hours of them being filmed, and we have already begun to publish them on the InfoQ site. You can view the publishing schedule on the QCon New York website.
InfoQ also reported from the event, and recorded podcasts with a number of speakers. This article, however, presents a summary of QCon New York as blogged and tweeted by attendees.
The editorial team covers these sorts of topics on a regular basis. You can subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the innovation hype and join a community of over 260,000 senior developers worldwide. If you are interested in a deep-dive you can also try our minibooks and eMags. In one of our latest eMags we curated some of the best serverless content into a single asset: "Serverless Computing".

QCons are produced by InfoQ.com. Our focus on practitioner-driven content is reflected in the fact that the program committee that selects the talks and speakers is itself comprised of technical practitioners from the software development community.
We will next be in Shanghai, Oct 19 - 21 and then San Francisco Nov 13 - 17 this year. QCon New York will return around June of 2018.
