Your Java Home Base at IBM TechXchange

Thousands of people. Hundreds of technologies. Sessions, labs, vendors, communities and conversations happening everywhere.

That is exciting - but we also want Java people to have a place where they know they will find each other.

That place is the JCON Community Hub.

This Is Where the Java Crowd Meets

The JCON Community Hub is our dedicated space for the Java community throughout the conference.

Come here to meet fellow Java developers and architects, JCON speakers, Java Champions, Java User Group leaders and other people from across the ecosystem.

It is also where you can meet and talk with the engineers and experts behind IBM's Java technologies.

The idea is simple:

Put great Java people in one place and make it easy for conversations to happen.

More Than a Booth

The Community Hub is not an exhibition booth like everywhere else.

It is a place to participate.

Throughout the conference, we will host activities such as:

  • Tech Talks
  • Meet the Experts
  • Office Hours
  • Informal discussions
  • Community meetups
  • Conversations with speakers and experts
     

A detailed schedule will be available closer to the conference.

If something sounds interesting, just come by and stay with us!

Just Hang Out

Some of the best conversations at conferences are not planned!

Maybe you just heard something interesting in a JCON session.
Maybe you are struggling with an architecture decision.
Maybe you want to know what other people think about AI-assisted development.
Maybe you want to talk about a framework, an open-source project, Java User Groups, the future of Java or something completely different.

Come over!
Grab a seat!
See who is around!
Start a conversation!

The Hub is a place for the topics that move you not something that can be put on a schedule

Meet the People Behind the Talks

One important part of the Hub is that speakers do not simply disappear after their presentations.

We want JCON USA to make it easy to continue the conversation.

Ask the question you did not get to ask during the session. Discuss your own use case. Challenge an idea. Go deeper into a technical detail.

That interaction is often where a good conference becomes a great one.
