I've only been once but I really enjoyed QCon. I like that it's just about developing software, rather than being focused on a particular tech stack. Instead you get talks about real world problems in tech, not all of which are actually about the tech! Some of the best talks I went to were on the people side, like how to build a team or maintain a good company culture.
I would say that it's probably not a conference you need to go to every year. Talking to people who went in later years it seems like 50% of the content stays the same between years, as maybe different people present about the same trend/problem/solution.
That sounds pretty cool! And its kinda nice if you can just go every couple of years and not feel like you are missing out if you can't make it. Thanks for the insight!

Good to know, I'll keep an eye to attend one in the future. Their written content is usually of very good quality on the site.
