What are your favorite conferences?


I'm hoping to attend more tech conferences in 2024 due to an increased company learning budget. What are the tech conferences that you've attended/watched online that come to mind and that you could recommend?

EuroRust and CppCon are fantastic. If the budget is generous enough then I'd recommend mainstream ones like NDC, Devoxx, or Strange Loop.

Also, I've recently come across a newsletter that scans YouTube for newly uploaded conference talks and then sends them out in a weekly email. They maintain a list of conferences they're monitoring that is quite comprehensive. The newsletter is called Tech Talks Weekly and the conference list is here: https://techtalksweekly.substack.com/p/tech-conferences
