🎙 18:30 Talk #1: Sander Mak: New Java 14 features
Join Sander in this session to explore new Java 14 features such as switch expressions, the highly anticipated records feature, and much more. There will be code, but also reflection on what it means if you’re currently on Java 8 or 11, like the most of us. And, of course, we’ll look even farther ahead as well.

🔈 19:15 Talk #2: Ko Turk: The Battle Of The IDE’s
What is the best IDE to use as a Java programmer?! And how to become more productive with it? In this talk we’ll share the thoughts of more than 700 developers and the reasons why you should use their IDE! We will discuss the best features, plugins, support and more.

🥂 20:30 It’s time to mingle and have the opportunity to talk to all the speakers and other participants.
