Announcement of the JPoint 2015 Java Conference

Make your program taking into account that the information field of the Earth depends on it.
Nikita Dzhigurda

Literally in three months, on April 20, in the World Trade Center Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel in Moscow we will hold the third Java conference of the JPoint . The first JPoint conference was a unique event for Russia in the sense that it was completely independent from vendors. The second one last year distinguished itself by being pretty hardcore.



What does the JPoint 2015 prepare for us? Details under the cut.

Classics of the genre
I'll start with the main thing. First, the JPoint 2015 will continue to be an independent and hardcore Java conference. Personally, I (at the level of the worldview) are alien to the trends that now dominate IT events: startups, 20-minute reports, hackathons, etc. Therefore, this is not all about us. We are conservative, and it turns out that in this hardcore and conservative approach they are rather unique. What successfully and exploit. The more around hackathons, lightning interpretations, “all-around” conferences and other various funny things, the more confident we feel. We are not fashionable? Okay, we will return to the classic style!

Secondly, the JPoint 2015 will be a classic in form professional conference precisely in the sense in which we are accustomed to perceive this word. If you look in detail, we will have 3 or 4 streams, 6 reports each. Duration of the report - 40-50 minutes. Mid day lunch time. It is worth noting that meals at the WTC are expensive, so we introduced a special “unforgettable” category of tickets for those who like to save money.



Thirdly, the JPoint 2015 will be even bigger . This year we plan to gather more than a thousand Russian-speaking Java-specialists from Russia and neighboring countries. We plan to significantly expand the booth area, involving not only companies looking for employees or selling products for Java developers, but also others to participate in the exhibition. In particular, following the example of Highload ++, we will organize stands with experts. In this zone, everyone will be able to talk with speakers and other experts on the hottest topics: Java 9, Performance, Spring, ORM, Java EE, etc. On the same topics we will hold a series of round tables, which will be held in a separate room at the same time reports.

Speakers

We will do our best to keep for you the best speakers of the JPoint 2014, while adding a few new faces to it. At the moment we announced 5 reports:




Other best speakers of the JPoint 2014 have already confirmed their participation. In particular, Nikolai Alimenkov from Kiev chooses between topics about messaging and testing, Gleb Smirnov (now from Tartu!) Thinks about what else can be done with hotspot, and Baruch Sadogursky and Eugene Borisov from Israel are preparing the second part of Groovy Puzzlers, a continuation of their excellent report from the October Joker:


New faces

Of those we seriously consider as speakers, I would like to specifically mention Roma Leventov from Higher Frequence Trading, the master of quick collections (Koloboke, OpenHFT) and a colleague of the famous Peter Laurie, as well as everyone in Academgorodok Max Ivanov , who recently moved to Kaliningrad . Roma is preparing to talk about in-memory key-value stores, and Max plans to do some retrospective of enterprise technologies.

We need your report!

The conference is a living organism. For its development and growth, we are actively looking for new topics, new faces and new ideas. The key feature of the JPoint 2015 is, of course, its program. Unlike the same Devoxx , RigaDevDay and our good friends JEEConf , we do not want to increase by adding reports to it “on neighboring topics”: topics about Javascript, Android or BigData can appear in our program only if they are directly connected with java We understand that for many of you, these topics are interesting even apart from Java, but what to do.

Minute of philosophy
It is for this reason that I made a quote from Dzhigurda (oh my God, did I really write this?) In the epigraph. We want to make a great program for this conference, and at the same time remain focused on Java. As I wrote above, this path seems to many dangerous, because we are moving against the trend. Trend - this is the information field of the earth, this is what puts pressure on us outside. And we really do not like being pressured. And it is through the breaking of the trend and the return to the sources that we will change this very information field.

If you want to become a speaker, if you have something to say — just fill out the appropriate form on the site . We will contact you within a few hours. We accept applications until February 20, that is, you have only 3 weeks to formulate the topic and plan your speech. Do not pull!

And the last for today. We want to make the JPoint 2015 conference a worldwide conference. In order to fulfill this dream, we ask you to write in the comments below your wishes on the topics of presentations and speakers that you want to see at the conference. See you at the JPoint!
