LavaCon started in Hawaii (hence our name) to help organizations generate revenue and reduce costs using 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 and lessons learned, network with peers, and build professional relationships that will last for years to come.
“LavaCon is my favorite content conference—it’s the most cutting edge and best mix of people.”
JB, Director of Content, Juniper Networks
The LavaCon Attendee Experience
Our 19th annual content strategy conference is scheduled for 24–27 October. Given the inadvisability of meeting in large groups, we are going virtual again in 2021. For a preview of the LavaCon virtual attendee experience, watch:
