Who's coming

Who this is for

JVM and JDK builders

Engineers and product managers building JVM implementations, who want to see how other vendors are building theirs and what problems they're solving.

JVM consumers and optimizers

Engineers and teams tuning Java workloads in production, comparing JVM vendors to figure out what actually fits their case.

Either way, the deal's the same: come with a real problem, discuss it, learn from someone who's hit it from a different angle, and leave having actually traded experience.

Confirmed companies

Salesforce

Enterprise multi-tenant workloads at a scale most of us never touch.

Oracle

The stewards of OpenJDK itself.

Azul

Commercial JVM builds and the GC tuning war stories that come with them.

aicas

Real-time, embedded Java — a completely different set of constraints than a typical server workload.

Azul's customers hit different walls than Oracle's; aicas lives in embedded and real-time systems most JVM engineers never get near. Put people from different vendors in the same room and you're comparing real workloads, not reading someone's blog post about theirs.

It's not just vendor employees, either — we're also bringing in folks who are evaluating JVMs for their own stack, or tuning a Java workload in production right now.

Separately, we're talking to people at IBM and GraalVM — nothing confirmed there yet, but the mix keeps growing.
