Sessions

Session: Concurrency Crossroads: Choosing between Reactive Programming & Virtual Threads
Speaker(s): Willem Jan Glerum
Language: English
Date/Time: TBD
Abstract: This talk compares Reactive Programming and Java Virtual Threads (Project Loom) for high-performance, non-blocking applications. Using real Quarkus examples and live coding, it explores advantages, drawbacks, and future trends, helping developers understand both paradigms and choose the optimal approach for their next Java project.

Session: Développer avec l'IA : et si c'était aussi simple qu'ajouter une librairie ?
Speaker(s): Mathieu Busquet & Stéphane Philippart
Language: French
Date/Time: TBD
Abstract: Ce workshop montre comment intégrer facilement l’IA générative dans des applications Java, sans changer de langage. Il explore frameworks (LangChain4j, Quarkus), création de chatbots, transcription, audio, traduction, et propose une boîte à outils pratique. Aucun prérequis, juste un ordinateur et un navigateur, l’environnement est fourni.

Session: Standards et agents IA : un tour d’horizon de MCP, A2A, ADK et plus encore
Speaker(s): Guillaume Laforge & Emmanuel Bernard
Language: French
Date/Time: TBD
Abstract: Cette session propose un deep dive sur les protocoles clés des agents IA (MCP, A2A, ACP) et leurs frameworks associés (ADK, Arc, Quarkus, LangChain4j). À travers démos et constructions d’agents, elle explique leur rôle, leur fonctionnement et leur importance pour concevoir des systèmes multi-agents interopérables.

Session: TamboUI : making 2026 the Year of Java in the Terminal
Speaker(s): Cédric Champeau & Max Rydahl Andersen
Language: English
Date/Time: TBD
Abstract: TamboUI is a modern terminal UI framework for Java, inspired by popular Rust, Go, and Python libraries. It offers immediate‑mode rendering, flexible layouts, and composable widgets. Combined with GraalVM’s fast startup, it enables polished, efficient CLI tools and redefines Java’s role in terminal‑based development.
