We have a packed agenda centered on the Jakarta EE, MicroProfile and Cloud Native Java communities.

Sessions
Jakarta EE Community State of the Union
This session will cover the current status of Jakarta EE. We will take a quick glance behind including what was achieved in Jakarta EE 8 and the current implementations. A principal focus of the session will be covering the goals of Jakarta EE 9, its current status and where we need help along with the current status of Eclipse GlassFish. Finally the session will look forward to Jakarta EE 10, what do Jakarta EE developers want, focus areas and how to get involved. If there is one session to learn about the Jakarta EE community status, get involved and ask questions, this session is it.
MicroProfile Community Current and Future
Eclipse MicroProfile has been around for over four years. Within the four years, 8 MicroProfile umbrella specifications were released together with 4 standalone specifications. This year, the community released MicroProfile 3.3 and MicroProfile 4.0 is to be released next. In this session, Emily is going to bring you up to date with the latest MicroProfile release and then briefly discuss what's new in MicroProfile 4.0. Come along to this session to listen or ask questions.
Jakarta EE/MicroProfile - Key Features Demo
Learn important features of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile through a number of examples, using a hands on approach. The examples are presented in a Problem, Solution, and How it Works recipe-style format, correlating usage of the APIs to real-life scenarios. The examples presented showcase key features of Jakarta EE, as well as some of the latest MicroProfile features. Recipes cover a variety of APIs from Jakarta Server Faces to Jakarta Persistence to Jakarta WebSockets and MicroProfile JWT, providing an overview of each, including examples using APIs together. The demo explains server-side resources using Payara, and development of microservices with Payara Micro, and provides attendees the ability to ask questions throughout the demo.
Attendees will walk away with a solid understanding of some of the most important features of Jakarta EE and MicroProfile.
Jakarta EE 10 Round Table
Jakarta EE 8 has been delivered and Jakarta EE 9 is well on the way. This is a perfect time to begin exploring the horizons of Jakarta EE 10. This panel discussion brings together the likes of Payara, Oracle, IBM, Tomitribe and community leadership at large to begin gazing into the crystal ball together! Come along and bring your thinking cap with you - there will be plenty of opportunity for you to interact first hand with the panel!
If you have questions for the panel, please add them ahead of time to this document.
