An email this morning reminds me that QCon takes place in London next month – this is one of my favourite developer-focused conferences, with excellent speakers covering a breadth of technology, though if you hate all things Agile it is probably not the place for you.

The organizers say that:

attendance for this year’s QCon London is actually ahead of last year’s, despite the problems in the economy

Given that it’s now common for conferences to be shrunk or cancelled, that’s impressive.
