#36For Microsoft-related DevOps, admin and security (Windows, Azure and other technologies touching the Microsoft stack), PowerShell Conference Europe, in Hannover, DE, May 3-5: http://psconf.eu
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

#37I'd recommend Polyconf http://polyconf.com/ 2017 will be probably in Paris
I second the recommendation after taking part in 2014 and 2015. The official Facebook event for 2017 (https://www.facebook.com/events/410030329337470/) has its location set to Paris, so I assume it's settled now. (Hi @zaiste!)

#38Python Community Conference in Slovakia PyCon SK (10-12. March 2017): https://www.pycon.sk/2017/
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/

#40I always recommend those that try to broaden your perspective by going beyond software engineering and including subjects such as design and art:
