You'll find dozens of interesting breakout sessions at JavaOne 2025 as well, featuring experts from around the Java ecosystem.

We want you to come away from JavaOne energized and inspired by what's possible with the latest Java innovations.

| Upcoming Java Unconferences |
|
JChateau
In last month's newsletter, José Paumard told us to prepare for the JChateau unconference in La Loire Vallée, France, March 26-29. Well, this month José adds that he and Java Champion Maurice Naftalin and the community have yet another unconference planned — JAlba in Scotland!
JAlba
The 6th edition of JAlba, the coolest Java unconference, is on! For three days, from the evening of May 28th, around thirty lively, knowledgeable Java enthusiasts will meet in Edinburgh to talk about Java. Attendees will find 27 sessions that we’ve timetabled, including Java itself, the Java ecosystem, wider technology questions and, well, everything that interests us. Everyone will also enjoy being in the UK’s best place to visit — with world-class architecture, superb scenery, Scotland’s history concentrated into a few hundred meters, and of course the world’s best whisky! |
