QCon San Francisco 2027

QCon San Francisco 2027 is expected in mid-November 2027, but C4Media had not announced it when we checked, so the dates shown are the 2026 edition moved forward 52 weeks, keeping its usual Monday-to-Friday pattern, and are unconfirmed. The conference has been a November fixture in San Francisco for years and is run by the team behind InfoQ for senior developers, architects and technical leaders. Recent editions followed the same shape: three conference days at the Hyatt Regency on the Embarcadero with a dozen curated tracks, then two optional days of hands-on training. For operations people the relevant tracks have covered platform engineering, resilience engineering, distributed systems in production and developer experience, next to a growing set of AI and ML systems tracks. Speakers are invited by a programme committee rather than chosen from an open call, and sponsored talks are kept separate. For budgeting, 2026 passes ran from $2,995 for the conference alone to $4,685 with two training days, plus a $590 video-only option, and each pass included a year of recordings. Plan on an announcement in the first half of 2027.
