LJC Unconference 2026 is a chill, in-person meet-up where Java lovers share ideas and hack together.

About the event:

The LJC is delighted to announce our 21st Unconference!

Join us for a full day of discussions, knowledge sharing, learning, and networking with other developers in the industry.

There will be an opening keynote session followed by breakout discussion groups on the topics which are important to you. Catering is of course included, with a steady stream of coffee as well as breakfast on arrival, lunch and even afternoon tea.

What is an Unconference?

An unconference is a loosely structured, participant-driven meeting. You decide what you want to talk and hear about and which topics you want to discuss. It starts with an empty schedule - no topics are mandated and no separations are made between speakers and the audience. All participants work out a schedule by suggesting, planning, holding, and evaluating sessions, collaboratively. Above all else, it's great fun, whether you want to learn or share it's a supportive and safe space to do it in.

This is an in-person event, kindly hosted by IBM (https://www.ibm.com/uk-en).
