We are looking for you as speaker in 2020!. Come and speak with us to celebrate 10 years of GuateJUG and 25 years of Java.

JConf Central America is the biggest Java conference in the region, since 2011 we’ve constructed an exchange hub for software developers, architects, and enthusiasts around Java technologies.

JConf will be hosted online on december 5, being a conference by and for the developer community.

Speak at JConf 2020!

The Central America Java Users groups are pleased to invite all the people interested in sharing knowledge with talks and workshops for beginners and senior developers.

Do you have something interesting to share with the community? Innovations made with Java?, Java success stories?. We and the JConf Attendees wanna know about you.

We’ve divided the conference in different tracks, being:

Java Platform

Any topic related with the JVM as development platform including, Java Core, certifications, JVM internals, Java language, OpenJDK.

Alternative languages

Considering the Java Virtual Machine as a polyglot execution environment, this space is specially designed for presentations related with GraalVM, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy, JavaScript and beyond.

Server side development

Our most popular track. Main track focus is presentations about Java as enterprise development platform. Java EE, Spring, Akka, Spark, Kafka, MicroProfile, RxJava, etc. Every Java framework, library and standard is welcome.

Big (Data with) Java

A new track for this year. We recognize the importance of the JVM in the Data Engineering space, hence this year we will be receiving proposals for topics like Kafka, Hadoop, Spark, Beam, Storm. It doesn’t matter if you execute your queries with Scala, Java, Pig, Python, R, in the end all roads converge to the JVM.

Tools, architecture and strategies

It is important to consider:

• By historical reasons, JConf is a free for all, 110% community event. Hence we reserve the right to accept presentation with the only objective to promote a commercial product. We also have sponsorship opportunities that could fit better for this.

• The speaker declares that presentation will be created in a “shareable” format with a proper license (we suggest CC-BY-SA 3.0 GT).

• There is no limit for proposals per speaker.

Important dates

CFP opens: 2020/10/05
