Heapcon is where experienced engineers share how they actually build, break, and fix things. It’s a space where technical depth meets community energy, and where the hallway conversations matter just as much as the talks. The event offers lectures across two parallel tracks, a sponsors’ expo zone, and numerous networking opportunities.
