With a record 18 sessions in 2020 and over 1400 attendees, the Jakarta Tech Talk webinar series has grown at an incredible rate since its 2019 inception. Our cloud native Java community has continued to share & engage in a common passion for learning about new and updated technologies. In 2021, we hope to bring even more Tech Talk webinars to our audience and shine a light on the innovation our open source contributors are driving on technologies like Jakarta EE 9, MicroProfile, Kubernetes and more.
We have a few talks lined up in early 2021 already, but we need you, our cloud native community, to share your hard work. If you have been working on a Cloud Native Java project, let the Jakarta Tech Talk audience know! Session formats are flexible (live-coding, demo, formal presentation, Q&A are all possible). Share your story by signing up to present a Jakarta Tech Talk.
