WeAreDevelopers World Congress in Berlin is a massive event. It is located at the huge Messe Berlin with two exhibition halls, and 13 parallel tracks. Most of the stages are located near, or in the expo. Usually, I don’t like this much since there is so much noice, even with...

I’m back in Tokyo again. This time for JJUG CCC 2025 Spring. This Cross Community Conference (CCC) is organised in twice a year and attracts around 1000 attendees every time. I was a speaker at the Fall edition last November, and now again on the Spring edition. Most of the...

Spring I/O 2025 was a great experience! It is an extremely well-organized conference with an awesome community. It was my second time as a speaker, and I will definitely send talk abstracts to the upcoming editions as well. It does not hurt that it is organized in Barcelona in May...

JCON Europe 2025 was great! Period! It is such a flawlessly organized conference with an ever present community spirit. This year was maybe even more special than usual because of the 30 Years of Java celebrations. Eclipse Foundation had a booth where we featured the Jakarta EE, Adoptium, and Eclipse...

JavaOne 2025 returned to the Bay Area as a standalone event. It was held at the Oracle Conference Center at the Oracle Campus in Redwood Shores. While significantly smaller than it used to be, it was an excellent revival of the conference. The event team managed to create an extremely...

Devnexus 2025 is a wrap!. This conference, run by Atlanta Java User Group is one of my absolute favourite conferences. There is so much going on and the hallway track is so fun. It has to be with such an amazing speaker lineup. This year, as the previous years, we...

The sixth edition of JakartaOne Livestream is a wrap! Last year, we started the tradition of creating a video for our Keynote. Here is a teaser for this Year’s video. You can see the full length version on the Jakarta EE YouTube channel. That is also where you will find...
