Microsoft JDConf is a global, online conference dedicated to the Java developer community. It’s a space where developers come together to share insights, explore innovations, and stay engaged with the latest trends shaping the future of Java.

Dates: April 8–9, 2026 (Live-streamed globally across multiple time zones)

Modern Java Solutions for an Agentic World

This year’s JDConf focuses on empowering Java developers to build and scale modern, intelligent, and cloud-native applications. With the rise of large language models (LLMs), agent-oriented architectures, and AI-driven development, JDConf 2026 will showcase how Java remains central to enterprise innovation.

Key Topics at JDConf 2026

  • AI-Native Java and AI-Assisted Development: How Java developers build and code with AI. From AI-native applications using Spring AI, LangChain4J, or Azure OpenAI to AI-powered IDEs, Copilot workflows, and predictive coding.
  • App Modernization and Next-Generation Cloud: Modernizing Java workloads with containers, serverless, and cloud-native tools. Include migration patterns and the role of AI or LLMOps in modernization.
  • Tools, Automation, and Responsible AI Operations: AI in the build, test, and deployment lifecycle—CI/CD automation, observability, policy-as-code, and responsible AI practices for Java systems.
  • Sustainable, Secure, and Efficient Java: Improving performance, security, and sustainability. Cover GraalVM, native compilation, zero-trust design, and efficient runtime operations.
  • AI Success Stories and Customer Journeys: Case studies showing how teams combine Java, AI, and cloud to deliver measurable results.

Why attend?
