| [jakarta.ee-community] Open Community Experience (OCX) 2026 |
Dear Jakarta EE community members,
In less than two months, developers, contributors, and industry leaders will gather in Brussels for Open Community Experience (OCX), taking place from 21–23 April 2026.
The main OCX track features a strong focus on Java and enterprise development, covering Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, modern runtimes, cloud-native Java, containers, observability, and the evolving Java ecosystem. It’s a space to explore how enterprise Java continues to adapt to new architectural demands, performance expectations, and open collaboration models.
Featured sessions include:
Production-ready Agentic AI: Building enterprise-grade Java systems with Jakarta EE and MicroProfile by Kenji Kazumura (Fujitsu Limited)
Jakarta EE 11 meets AI: Building intelligent microservices with Virtual Threads and Jakarta Data by Luqman Saeed (Payara)
See the full list of talks here.
Beyond Java, OCX connects enterprise development with adjacent topics like open source security, governance, AI, IoT, compliance, and automotive, creating cross-community conversations that reflect how modern systems are really built.
