Welcome to the 20th LavaCon Content Strategy Conference!
LavaCon started in Hawaii (hence our name) to help organizations leverage state-of-the-art content technologies.
However, LavaCon is more than just a conference. It’s a gathering place where content professionals share best practices, network with peers, and build relationships that will last for years to come.
Comments from Previous Attendees
Thanks for the BEST LavaCon ever, despite being all virtual [in 2021]. In fact, I’d say this is the best conference I’ve attended, across industries, for the speakers, knowledge shared, topics covered, and fun woven throughout. Well done!

Wow! LavaCon was AMAZING! I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the conference:
I learned a ton, and I met some really smart and fun people. The featured talks were really fantastic—I liked that they covered diverse topics that gave clear takeaways. Also the evening storytelling, drums, and trivia were a lot of fun and helped to create that sense of community. I’m looking forward to next year!

Your conference is always at the top of my list. It is the perfect combination of topics and presenters that have their finger on the pulse of the industry. I recommend it to both leaders and individual contributors.
