CALL FOR PAPERS
The Call for Papers is now CLOSED. Our program review team will now review and rate all of the submitted proposals, before we start session and speaker announcements in the first week of February.
TRACKS
Immediate, actionable knowledge for developers NOW, alongside forward-looking EDGE insights for tomorrow’s challenges.

NOW:
The language that runs the world. Java language, frameworks, libraries, tooling & the ever-evolving JVM ecosystem.
EDGE:
Imagining where the future Java might be in the next decade and beyond.

NOW:
Designing systems at every scale, from monoliths to multi-agent models, with the tools, techniques, and best practices for today’s developer.
EDGE:
As software evolves beyond human patterns, how will architecture and systems thinking adapt, and are there practices we should try to preserve moving into the future

NOW:
Craft, test, secure, ship (hopefully in that order). CI/CD, tooling, defensive engineering, AI-augmented development.
EDGE:
How will practices evolve, and what does it mean in a world of autonomous systems? Will developer craft still play a role? Does code even matter?

NOW:
Dev wellness, leadership, team dynamics, inclusion, and the human side of software, including accessibility and design thinking.
EDGE:
Can AI truly be part of the team? As routine tasks fade, will creativity grow? How will organisations support leadership and learning in human–AI structures?

NOW:
Scaling data systems for high load, real-time analytics, using Machine Learning, and building LLM models.
EDGE:
Exploring the future of data engineering and next-generation analytics.

NOW:
JVM, functional, web, mobile & emerging languages. Tools, libraries and practices.
EDGE:
How will languages fit into the future of programming, or vanish in a post-language era?

NOW:
From DevOps, build pipelines, observability & orchestration through to no-code, agentic workflows & intuitive tools.
EDGE:
Will we evolve beyond pipelines? How will deployment, resilience, and operations transform in a world of autonomous, self-running systems?

NOW:
Weird, wild, and wonderfully cutting-edge, indie projects, quantum hacks, robotics, cybernetics, the bleeding edge of curiosity, and sheer geeky fun.
EDGE:
Imagining a future where science fiction edges closer to reality, and things get even geekier. Think self-evolving machines, bio-inspired runtimes, undiscovered physics, and so much more.
