Java and JVM lovers in Belgium, let's unite!

Are you passionate about Java and curious to meet the people shaping its community here in Belgium? Whether you’re a first-time Devoxx attendee, a seasoned Java veteran, or just someone who enjoys geeking out over JVM minutiae, this is the place to be.

Join us for an informal and interactive session. We’ll share what the BeJUG is all about: how we connect Java enthusiasts across the country, the kinds of events we organize (from meetups to hands-on sessions), and how you can get involved as an attendee, a speaker, or even a contributor.

Come say hi, share your ideas, ask questions, or just hang out and network with fellow Java lovers. No slides, no strict agenda, just a room full of like-minded people who care about the Java ecosystem and its vibrant Belgian community. Everyone is welcome, and we’d love to hear what you would like to see from your local Java User Group!
