CONTENT
Expect a diverse range of sessions covering the full spectrum of modern software development — from inspiring keynotes and in-depth technical talks to real-world case studies, hands-on labs, and forward-thinking practices.
All content is sourced through an open Call for Papers (CFP), reviewed by a team of independent experts alongside a dedicated community panel to ensure a balanced and high-quality programme.
The CFP runs from 1st December to 9th January. If you have a session idea that would inspire or benefit the Devoxx UK audience, we encourage you to submit it.
Selected speakers will be notified later in January.
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.
