QCon London 2023 track abstracts and hosts confirmed

Tracks and hosts for the the 17th annual QCon London (Mar 27-29) have been confirmed and published. This year’s track themes include:

• Architectures You’ve Always Wondered About - The biggest software systems on the planet need sophisticated architectures, deliberately and carefully designed to support true planet-scale, along with high availability, durability, security, and many other concerns. (Hosted by Matt Turner, Software Engineer @Tetrateio and Co-Founder for Istio London)

• Performance: Designing and Tuning - Getting the most out of hardware is important to save money on cloud workloads and also for sustainability. In this track, we'll look at ways to design software to make the most of modern CPU and memory architectures, as well as tools and techniques to find performance bottlenecks. (Hosted by Justin Cormack, CTO @Docker)

• Building Security in Earlier - Presentations on how 'shift left' has been applied in practice to build security into applications and services earlier in their release to the production pipeline. (Hosted by Stefania Chaplin, Solutions Architect @GitLab)

• Modern Frontend Development and Architecture - Let's talk about the frontend, not with the tools we use but through the problems we're solving. re-usability, composition, abstraction, velocity, and performance. (Hosted by Loiane Groner,
  Development Manager @Citibank)

• Paving the Road: Enhancing Developer Productivity and Experience - How to supercharge developer productivity and happiness. (Hosted by Nayana Shetty
  Principal Engineer @LEGO_Group)

• Data Engineering Innovations - Learn from technology SMEs and industry's leading data practitioners about trends and innovations happening in data engineering space including what's new in data streaming, data API's, data lineage, automated data pipelines and cloud data platforms & containerization technologies. (Hosted by Sid Anand, Chief Architect and Head of Engineering @Datazoom & Co-chair @QCon)

• AI/ML Trends - Discover how to operationalize machine learning applications that are scalable, secure, and interpretable. (Hosted by Mehrnoosh Sameki, Principal PM Manager @Microsoft)

• Architecture with Sustainability in Mind - Explore how companies are architecting for sustainability. Key areas of focus include measuring carbon footprint, decarbonizing the products we produce, and how we, as software engineers, can reduce the overall climate impact of the things we build. Finally, this track looks ahead to how technology can create a better future for generations to follow. (Hosted by Sarah Hsu, Site Reliability Engineer @GoldmanSachs)

• Staff+ Engineering in Practice - What are the skills you need to develop if you want to stay on the technical track to technical lead, staff, or principal? What will it take to thrive in this type of role? (Hosted by Fabiane Nardon, Data Scientist, Java Champion & CTO @tail_oficia)

• Remote and Hybrid Work: What Now? - Before & After": Hybrid Work Strategies: Hybrid work, 4-day workweeks, remote work, working from a remote island, returning to the office, and how these impact development productivity and, ultimately, careers. (Hosted by Shane Hastie, Global Delivery Lead for SoftEd and Lead Editor for Culture & Methods at InfoQ.com)

• Debugging Production - You get paged about a problem in production - but how do you know just what system or service is acting up? What do you do to identify and mitigate the impact on users before ultimately fixing any underlying issues? In this track, we will look at the state of the art in tools and processes for incident (Hosted by Abby Bangser, Principal Engineer @Syntassomanagement, observability, and debugging high-impact production systems.)
