JavaOne 2014 is about a week away, although some of festivities will start next Friday! This is going to be my 16th JavaOne in as many years and I’ve really enjoyed participating in each one of them. As always, there is great content lined up with rockstar speakers. This conference is a confluence of movers and shakers in the Java world and provides plenty of opportunities to engage with them. This is going to be my first year as Red Hatter and looking forward to catching up with friends and colleagues.

I’ll also be running my own “hallway track” and so feel free to meet there. Of course, you can catch me at Red Hat booth as well!
There are lots of Red Hat speakers and sessions at the conference as well. And if you are not able to attend a Red Hat session then you can check out the mini-sessions in the exhibit hall.
See ya there!
