Rakuten Technology Conference 2015

Whatis TechConf?

What’s Rakuten Technology Conference?
It’s a technology conference that Rakuten Engineers voluntarily plan and
operate by themselves. This year marks the eighth 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 engineer community. Emerging technologies
have been picked (Hadoop, MongoDB, NoSQL, Redis, Spark, 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.
Official Language

Topics
Topics are not limited to the specific areas.
Inviting external speakers,
we’ve covered a broad range of topics.

Lightning Talks
We’ve provided a slot of lightning talks,
where a variety of presenters take turn
delivering presentation within 4 minutes.
It has gained popularity and good reviews.

RIT, our research instituteshares
the newest researches.
This year we’ll present WallSHOP,
a CEATEC Award winner!
