The QCon San Francisco 2025 conference<\/a> (November 17\u201321) is fast approaching, and the excitement is building. As a member<\/a> of the program committee, I\u2019ve had a front-row seat to the thoughtful process of curating tracks, selecting hosts, and shaping a cohesive schedule for the three-day event. It\u2019s been inspiring to see how each track tackles the real challenges software leaders and practitioners face today.<\/p>\n

With AI now influencing nearly every aspect of software development, it is no surprise that AI-related topics appear across many of the 15 curated tracks<\/a>. As someone working in the ML infrastructure and deeply passionate about AI, my personal top picks below ( in no particular order) naturally lean toward sessions exploring this fast-moving and transformative space.<\/p>\n
