Accento Digital — Java/JavaScript/Ops

Accento Digital is an amazing online conference for experienced Java/web developers that doesn't need brick and mortar to create a rich atmosphere. If you're up for twelve hours of technical talks, interactive Q&As, inspiring panels and ignite sessions, and free-form discussions with other participants — all around Java, JavaScript, web development, and operations — you don't want to miss it.

  • Date: 7th of July 2020
  • Time: 6:00 to 18:00 UTC (that's 8:00 to 20:00 in Central Europe)
  • Location: on Hopin

Attending the talks is free; participating in the interactive formats sets you back at most 30 €. Sounds great? Then read on or get your ticket now!

Continuous Improvement

Whether it's writing code, operating software, or organizing a conference: Continuous improvement lies at the heart of getting it right. This is particularly true for DevOps, a topic that, next to Java and JavaScript / web development, will get the attention it deserves at Accento Digital. And it's just as important for Accento itself, where we learn from the first gig to make this one even better — current circumstances notwithstanding. Hence, it will be 2020's topic.

But why even have a conference topic? And what difference does it make? Let us explain.

Three Tracks, 18 Talks, 2 Keynotes

Accento Digital will have about 20 talks, split across three tracks:

  • talks on Java and the JVM dive deep into our favorite backend platform, improving your understanding of essential tools and processes as well as bringing you up to speed on the newest developments (Java 15 EA, anybody?)
  • no backend without frontend — the JavaScript / web dev track focuses on making your user interface more resilient, have more performance, look nicer, and be all around even better to maintain and use
  • new in 2020, we'll look into operations — think continuous delivery, Docker, cloud, etc.

Here's a selection of what you can expect:

For the rest, check the full list of talks.

Beyond the talks, we have plenty of other activities planned for you — read on.

Remote? Online? Digital!

On the surface, conferences deal in talks and speakers. But ask any frequent conference goer what they like about them and most will mention the community, the hallway track, the chance to meet industry experts, and the discussions with other developers — some may forget to even mention the talks. Accento Digital doesn't ignore that fact, it takes it in stride.

As we see it, the key ingredient to making Accento Digital just as social and serendipitous as physical events is communication. We want you to communicate — with us, with the speakers and panelists, but most importantly with one another. That's why we'll give you plenty of opportunities to communicate:

  • talks and ensuing Q&As (obviously)
  • dedicated Q&A sessions where subject-matter specialists answer your questions
  • ignite talks that present an inspiring idea or a refreshing angle and then open the floor for a discussion that everybody can participate in
  • panels where two to four experts rope you into a joined conversation on a hot topic
  • three rooms dedicated to Containers, Cloud, and Co, Security and Quality where everything but the talks take place; they remain open all day long, so conversations never have to end and you can join ongoing discussions and find like-minded developers whenever you want
  • a few more rooms for you to hang out in and chat about anything that comes to mind
  • closed betas — short evening events in the weeks leading up to the conference where you, us, a speaker or to hang out a bit to get to know one another

(There's more to this story than fits here — read it.)

Here are some of the experts you can meet in the three topic rooms:
