The AI decisions you make this year will shape what your team can ship next year. QCon London 2027 gathers senior engineers to share production-proven patterns and practices that help de-risk technical bets.
Dates and venue for QCon London 2027
Conference sessions run April 13 to 15, 2027 and the certification day is April 16, 2027. The event takes place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE. The published conference fee is £2,190 and the Early Bird deadline was September 8.
Program highlights and tracks
The program features 15 engineering tracks and over 75 international practitioner speakers. Content emphasizes patterns and practices applied in production rather than vendor pitches. Topics listed include resilience engineering, architecting for agents, data platforms reimagined, engineering AI systems and modern API design. There is a Video-Only Pass option and the InfoQ Certified Architect Program runs on the certification day.
The 2027 program committee includes senior practitioners such as Blanca Garcia Gil, Erica Pisani, Ian Thomas, Shawna Martell, Srini Penchikala and Werner Schuster. Session selection is led by engineers currently working in the field so talks aim to be implementable in real teams.
Who attends QCon London 2027
The audience is composed of engineering leaders, software architects and senior developers who make technical decisions for production systems. The event notes one speaker for every 11 attendees which reinforces the emphasis on direct interaction. Unconference sessions are available to bring concrete problems and leave with multiple approaches.
B2B prospecting tactics for QCon London 2027
Map your outreach to tracks. Shortlist the three tracks most relevant to your buyer personas and book meetings around those sessions. Use the built-in extended hallway time to schedule 20 to 30 minute technical conversations that go beyond elevator pitches.
When messaging potential contacts, reference a specific session or pattern they are presenting. Propose a concise agenda point for a short meeting and offer a technical takeaway you can deliver during the conversation. If you need internal approval, leverage the event’s pre-written templates to justify team attendance and budget.
If your offering ties to training or certification, align it with the InfoQ Certified Architect Program or relevant tracks on platforms and resilience. Positioning against production-proven practices will yield more engagement than product feature lists.
Closing note and registration
Focus on sessions that expose operational tradeoffs and decision-making in production. Prepare brief technical collateral that explains how your solution addresses a clearly defined problem and a short list of priority contacts to meet. Register and view the program at http://qconlondon.com and consider the April 16 certification day if your team needs formal accreditation.
QCon London 2027 centers on implementable engineering judgement and software patterns. Attend with learning objectives and a tight meeting plan to convert conversations into actionable steps for your roadmap.
