Kolesa Conf 2024: How the Largest IT Conference in Kazakhstan Went

Kolesa Conf 2024 took place in Almaty — the largest conference in Kazakhstan that unites and develops the IT community.

Over the course of one day, four tracks were held covering IT directions: Management, Web, Data, and Mobile. This year, Kolesa Conf was held in an offline format, and the event gathered 1,600 participants. Speakers and guests traveled from other cities in Kazakhstan specifically for the conference, and some speakers came from other CIS countries and Europe.

The main value of Kolesa Conf lies in face-to-face communication and effective networking. The conference program was designed so that every participant could find topics of interest to them.

A new feature this year was live interaction between experts and the audience — intimate sessions on QA, Design, and HR. Additionally, a panel discussion was held in the Management track, featuring C-level executives from Sergek Group, Beeline Kazakhstan, Kolesa Group, and Drinkit Kazakhstan.

Kolesa Conf was supported by other major companies, which made the conference even more engaging: PS.kz and Lerna.

As in previous years, the conference was conducted in two languages: Kazakh and Russian. Organizers provided simultaneous translation so that attendees could consume content in their preferred language.

Active participants were rewarded with branded Kolesa Conf’24 merchandise, as well as prizes from conference partners and speakers.
