The 2026 event is held in San Francisco, California.
The organizer identifies senior software engineers, tech leads, and architects as attendees.
It is most useful for senior engineers, tech leads and architects who want to hear how practitioners at companies like Apple, Google, Cisco, Salesforce and Capital One run real systems, since the conference aims at that experienced audience. Junior developers and non-technical managers would likely get less, because the conference is pitched at experienced engineers adopting new practices rather than at beginners.
Attendees at software engineering conferences usually wear casual clothes such as jeans, t-shirts or company hoodies, with comfortable sneakers. San Francisco in November is cool, so a light jacket or layers are common.
