What’s Rakuten Technology Conference?

It’s a technology conference that Rakuten Engineers voluntarily plan and

operate by themselves. This year marks the seventh anniversary which

we have been hosting with your continuing support since 2007.

We have a internal study session named “Rakuten Tech Talk” twice or three

times per month.

This internal community works as the core team to drive Tech Conference.

From Rakuten Tech Talk to Tech Conference

We began with presenting the inside story of Rakuten’s

development & technology in 2007, originally.

We’ve set aside sessions for external speakers, open source community

(Ruby, PHP, Linux, etc.) and agile community. Emerging technologies

have been picked up (ex. Hadoop, MongoDB, NoSQL, Jenkins, etc).

Globalization Globalization has been a big topic since 2011 in TechConf.

We’ve picked topics, for instance, global engineers performing all over the

world, or actual official language’s effort, in the keynote speech, each session

and panel discussion.

Plus,

we changed official

language to English in 2012.

Inviting external speakers,

we’ve covered a broad range of topics.

Lightening Talks We’ve provided a slot of lightening talks,

where a variety of presenters take turn

delivering presentation within 4 minutes.

It has gained popularity and good reviews.

R.I.T. （楽天技術研究所） In TechConf, RIT, our research institute shares the

newest researches. We’ve offered interesting topics to

people in academia and added also a scientific flavor.

(This year, we set aside one track for RIT.)

Rakuten Technology Award Not only sessions, we’ve given the award to the

contributor to internet and web tech, since 2008.

That’s named “Rakuten Technology Award.”

Cafeteria, Lunch

We’ve offered free & delicious lunch at

cafeteria since 2011.

Please enjoy!! (First 450 people served.)

other participants. (Of course, it’s free of charge!!)
