I tried to figure out how many editions of JCrete I have attended. Let’s just say that it’s been quite a few, and I enjoy is just as much every time I return.
The community at JCrete is just incredible, the food is awesome. The only thing to wish for is that time wouldn’t go so fast. From the informal gathering on Sunday night, the four days just blow past you in an incredible flow of impressions and good moments. The week is over before you know it. I usually take a couple of days off and stay at Crete a couple of days after the conference. This year, I stayed a full week at the wonderful beaches of the island.
If you ever have the opportunity to join a Java unconference, you should definitely take the opportunity. It is the best way to have technical conversations to industry experts and community leaders in an informal setting. Everyone and noone is a speaker at an unconference.
