Looking for interesting software engineering conferences in 2017 to hunt for tickets already, both with general theme and focused on specific technology stacks. Do you have some favorites?

CRUNCH ---- Data ---- October 5-7 ---- http://crunchconf.com/
AMUSE ---- UX ---- October 18-20 ---- http://amuseconf.com/

ACCU - https://conference.accu.org/site/index.html
Meeting C++ - https://meetingcpp.com (9-11. Nov) not yet announced
ADC - https://adcpp.de/2017/
code::dive (not yet announced) https://codedive.pl/pl/index/
NDC Oslo - https://ndcoslo.com/
Audio Developer Conference:(not yet announced) https://www.juce.com/adc-2016
emBO++ (embedded C++)- https://www.embo.io/
It's volunteer organised (so affordable) and it only attracts programmers who are passionate about their jobs. No recruiters, no businesspeople (who don't also code), etc. No company booths. It's very un-enterprisey and has a great atmosphere because of that.
No specific software stack, albeit rather web focused in practice. Central theme is (surprise) the Joy of Coding, so there's space for new cool tech, for meta-level stuff about how to enjoy your work/hobby better, and for in-depth workshops.
May 20-21 in Thessaloniki, Greece.
Three days conference with a mix of (Czech) Slovak and English talks and workshops. Part of the speakers line up is published (rest will follow soon).
There is a really good connection for all of the Europe to Vienna (which is really close), or cheap Ryan-air flight directly to Bratislava.
Also EuroPython will be in early summer (9-16. July 2017) in Rimini, Italy: http://ep2017.europython.eu/
Edit: added date
Swift focused, with different concept from regular conference:
What makes it great? It's bilingual (most sessions in English, but a full track in German), a low attendee to speaker ratio (last year was around 200 attendees and 45 speakers), speakers who are eager to talk to the attendees outside of sessions and open ears from Microsoft, including the ShellFather himself, Jeffrey Snover, and Bruce Payette, willing to discuss various implementation decisions he's made. Some other notable speakers: Matt Graeber, Will Schoeder.
Disclosure: I'm on the organizing committee
Very broad - spoke at last year's on leadership and organisation, attended sessions on Elm, Frege, privacy, DDD (and API design), big data, microservices, ...

Disclosure: My organization, CNCF, is running the conference.
No focus on specific languages, just on making good software. And it's all in English.
You can find videos of the talks of last year here : http://videos.ncrafts.io/
A great mixture of Devops, Web, Architecture and Methodology talks in sunny Athens :)
It's not only Europe but you're able to make a quick selection here. Mainly about Front-end and UX. Have a look.
