After the conference, slides will be made available for download on the schedule page, when the speakers allow it.

Childcare may be contracted directly through the Baby Sitters Guild. If childcare takes place inside the attendee's hotel room at the New York Marriott Marquis during the week of QCon (June 25, 2018-June 29, 2018) & the hotel guest is a verified QCon attendee, QCon will contribute $70 towards the expense with proof of payment.
