About this Event
What is XConf?

XConf is an annual technology event created by technologists, for technologists, who care deeply about the craft of software and its ability to make the world a better place.

Now in its ninth year, Thoughtworks is hosting XConf Europe in-person, in Germany, UK and Spain. Join us to connect with the local tech community, catch up on new tech trends and hear from keynote speakers and Thoughtworks presenters. Through engaging discussion and hands-on insights we’ll highlight how as a community, we are making tech better, together.


We are pleased to welcome our keynotes in each region to the stage;

Germany - Silvia Schreier, Head of Software Engineering at Breuninger

UK - Asim Hussain, Green Cloud Advocacy Lead at Microsoft and Chairperson at Green Software Foundation

Spain - Paulo Caroli, Principal Consultant Thoughtworks Spain and Best Seller Book Author


At XConf you will:
  • Discover emerging technologies and practices, use cases and real stories
  • Learn how to implement new technologies where you work and have greater impact
  • Hear from people who broke through seemingly insurmountable resistance to change
  • Talk with other interesting and ambitious technologists
  • Let go of previously-held assumptions and gain new perspectives

This one-day, two-track event gives you access to a diverse range of Thoughtworks senior technologists working on our clients’ most complex challenges.

Seating capacity is set at 150 guests per location, with a limited number of early-bird tickets available. Register today! We look forward to seeing you there!

What is the carbon score of your software?

Software is a significant emitter of carbon emissions, and it’s growing fast. However, a piece of software is not a physical thing. So measuring software for carbon emissions in the same way you measure physical things often fails. We need to completely re-think how we measure emissions for software from the ground up. This talk will discuss a methodology for carbon scoring your application called the Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) Specification. The SCI is an effort by the Green Software Foundation to reach a cross-industry consensus on carbon scoring for software, for those in the data center space think of it as “PUE for Software”. We’ll also discuss the three types of actions you can take to improve your score.


Speakers & Talks: To be released… more information coming soon
