JCON Community & Enterprise Editions
JCON is more than a conference. It’s a format, a brand, and a community built around serious Java engineering. With Run Your Own JCON, we open the format for two models:
Why Run Your Own JCON?
Strong Java communities grow locally. At the same time, organizing a technically credible conference requires more than logistics and a speaker list. It takes a clear structure, a reliable review process, and a program that reflects the current state of the Java ecosystem — from modern language features to platform engineering and cloud-native architectures.
JCON has developed this format over multiple editions. The result is a conference structure that encourages real technical exchange instead of slide-driven presentations. When you run your own JCON, you do not start from zero. You build on an established framework and an experienced network while shaping the content around your local community or your organization’s technical priorities.
For Java User Groups, this creates visibility and continuity without giving up independence.
For organizations, it enables focused knowledge transfer and architectural alignment in a format that developers take seriously.
JCON provides the structure and experience. The context and direction remain yours.
JCON as a Brand
You are running a Java User Group and want to organize your own conference — under an established and respected brand?
With JCON as a Brand, your event becomes part of the JCON ecosystem.
Organize your own JCON
We help you to run a technically solid conference with international visibility.
If your community is ready for the next step beyond meetups, this is a structured way to get there.
WHAT YOU GET
- Use of the JCON brand and visual identity
- A proven conference structure and timeline
- Support with call for papers and review process
- Access to the JCON speaker network
- Cross-promotion within the JCON ecosystem
- Organizational guidance based on previous JCON editions
WHAT STAYS WITH YOU
- Full control over content and agenda
- Local partnerships and sponsors
- Community ownership
- Regional focus and identity
JCON at Your Organization
Large engineering organizations with hundreds or even thousands of developers often face a structural challenge: training budgets exist, but external conferences are only attended by a small number of engineers. Travel, limited seats, project pressure, and distributed international teams reduce participation. As a result, knowledge transfer remains selective instead of organization-wide.
JCON at Your Organization brings the conference format directly into your company and enables scalable knowledge sharing without travel overhead.
Host your dedicated JCON
Instead of sending one or two engineers to an external conference, you can enable entire teams at once.
This improves shared understanding, reduces architectural drift, and accelerates modernization efforts. The objective is not generic training but focused technical alignment inside your organization.
You define the priorities. We design the conference format around them.
WHAT IT INCLUDES
- A curated agenda aligned with your architecture and modernization roadmap
- External speakers selected specifically for your technical priorities
- Deep-dive sessions tailored to your actual system landscape
- The option to address internal challenges under NDA
- Structured Q&A and cross-team technical exchange
- A compact on-site conference format
WHAT STAYS WITH YOU
- Scalable knowledge transfer across large engineering organizations
- Reduced travel and opportunity costs
- Consistent technical direction across teams
- Faster alignment during modernization initiatives
- Structured external input without exposing internal details
"The great thing about this kind of event: you don’t have to go anywhere. Head downstairs and listen. Then talk it through with your colleagues afterwards. That is where the real value compounds."
