2014 dotGo conference in Paris
Better late than never. In October 2014 in Paris, the first in Europe conference devoted entirely to the language of Go was held . The organizers were the guys from dotConference, who draw inspiration from TED conferences and borrowed some points for all of their dot conferences. It turns out they have, I must say, great. Video materials of the conference, as well as some personal impressions read below.
The conference was held on October 10, 2014, in the center of Paris, in the theater Théâtre des Variétés - a truly amazing place. As well as the organization - the guys are very, very trying. Here is an excellent short video that gives an idea of ​​the atmosphere of the presentation.

Speakers included several people from the core Go team — Brad Fitzpatrick , Francesc Campoy and Andrew Gerrand , and a dozen other gophers, one way or another known in the Go community — like Jeremy “CodeGangsta” Saenz , author Martini and Negroni (he, by the way , recently released excellent, judging by the reviews, video courses on Go - who likes this format, look). Reports were limited to 20 minutes, so no one had time to get tired, and questions and answers were organized at the end of the conference in a separate session. The main place for Q & A sessions was the buffet and the theater balconies during the breaks.
The reports themselves were both general directions, like “What I learned by teaching Go people” and “5 things I love in Go”, and more specific topics: “How to use interfaces to create more expressive APIs” and demonstrate what has been rewritten to Go. firmware for Parrot drones with a demonstration right in the hall.
In general, see for yourself - all performances are ~ 20 minutes:
Most of all I liked the performances of John Graham-Cumming's and Felix Geisendörfer - the dude wrote the code right during the performance, collected it right away, uploaded the quadcopter to the quadcopter and immediately launched it in the hall with this code - it was spectacular and separate and interesting.
There were also 4-minute lightning talks, of which the first one was remembered separately:
Also on the channel there are videos of Q & A sessions with the Go-team (it’s long and boring there) - but who is interested, look at the channel - and a few interviews with some distinguished participants
Formally, the conference was held for two days - October 10 and 11, but the second day was completely devoted to workshops. In parallel, several workshops took place - the most popular was the workshop from Fransisc Campoy for beginners. I went to the workshop from the company Aerospike - but there is nothing special to tell - the guys introduced their product (specialized key-value DB) and in the problem-solution format they introduced the people to their go-client.

The next dotGo conference - dotGo 2015 - will be held on November 9, 2015, in Paris, though in a new place - also in the theater, larger in size.
Registration has been open for a long time - the Early Bird Ticket price is still valid - 99 Euro - 2015.dotgo.eu
Ps. The guys have a whole bunch of conference in Paris - in particular, dotCSS, dotJS, dotSwift (only for experienced developers) and dotScale. If the topics are interesting to you - I recommend to pay attention, it seems that these dot-conferences will soon become one of the most popular technical conferences themselves. They even have a slogan - “Tech conferences, reinvented”.

There were also 4-minute lightning talks, of which the first one was remembered separately:
- John Cinnamond - Go is a great OO language
