Joker 2016 Java Conference: Peter, October 14-15

October 14 and 15 in St. Petersburg will be held Java-conference Joker 2016 . Java speakers from Russia, USA and Europe will come to Joker to share their thoughts and ideas with you.

Joker №4. Bigger, stronger, more interesting

This will be the fourth Joker conference in St. Petersburg. Speakers and reports, sponsors and stands, participants and experts will be more than they have been in past times, so everyone who came will have something to do! The format will remain the same: 2 days, reports of 60 minutes, breaks for half an hour - so that the head does not overheat and there is time to calmly communicate with everyone. We tried the format for the first time with long breaks for the past Joker, and everyone liked it so much that we will definitely leave it.

Speakers

The team of Joker speakers is today, undoubtedly, the main pride of our conference. At the moment (June 20) we have received confirmation from 12 speakers - this is approximately 30% of the planned number of speakers.

• Spring and its components.

In addition, by popular demand, this time we will add several new topics:

• Java application architecture;
• Enterprise Java;
• Problems & Solutions;
• DevOps & Cloud.

Become a speaker

Reception reports open. If you want to talk about something to the Russian Java-community, rather send us a report ! The advantage will be given to those speakers whose topics will seem the most interesting to the program committee. Other things being equal, preference will be given to those speakers who will provide recordings of their past (successful!) Speeches: cool performances in the past are one of the important criteria that our program committee has traditionally been guided by. Beginners should not be afraid either - we will definitely communicate with everyone.

To students

Last year we did a separate student day, but this year it is a big question. We will probably make a separate student track within the framework of the “big” Joker. As soon as we make the final decision on the students, we will immediately announce.

check in

Registration for the conference is open, you can buy tickets on the conference website in the "Registration" section. Traditionally, the cost of participation will gradually increase, so do not delay the purchase.
