Not a
conference.
A Mission.
RebelCon was born from frustration. From the feeling that the industry kept making promises it wasn’t keeping — around diversity, sustainability, developer wellbeing, the real human cost of the systems we build.
Ten years later, the frustration is still valid. So we’re back. One day, one track, Cork. Practitioners and thinkers who aren’t here to celebrate — they’re here to think, argue, and figure out what comes next.
This year’s theme is Unfinished Business. Because progress never ends. Not in our industry!
Three Acts
One argument.
The Promises We Made
An honest look. What did the industry commit to over the last decade? What actually happened? Did we actually achieve what we set out to achieve? This act sets the tone: honest, and fair to the wins and losses.
Keynote + 2 talks + lightning talk
The World We Are Building
AI, power, community, social cost. Talks with a point of view. A panel where participants share their opposing views. The push and pull between what is beneficial and what doesn’t serve us.
Now What
From diagnosis to agency. Not what the industry should do & what you can do. Ends with the community as the final speaker. We want to know your predictions on where we are going in the next 10 years.
