About this Event
The London Java Community (LJC) and Virtual JUG (vJUG) are joining forces for a holiday-season party packed with Ignite talks, prizes, and good company hosted at Tessl’s premises in London and supported by our LJC Sponsors.
What’s an Ignite Talk?
Each speaker gets five minutes, twenty slides, and the slides auto-advance every fifteen seconds. It’s equal parts insight and improvisation — the perfect mix of learning and entertainment. Talks can cover anything from Java, DevOps, and architecture to the weird and wonderful sides of technology.
If you’d like to take part, submit your talk via https://sessionize.com/london-java-community-2025-party/
Prizes and Surprises
We’ll be handing out prizes for categories such as:
- Best Overall Talk
- Most Festive Deck
- Best Meme Usage
- Best Audience Question
- Most Festive Attendee Outfit
- Most Java-Related Attendee Outfit
- And a few surprise categories announced on the night
There’ll also be recognition for the most creative, energetic, and entertaining Ignite speakers — and a few giveaways from our LJC Sponsors throughout the evening.
Food and Drinks
We’ll provide simple, social food and drinks to keep the energy up. Details will be confirmed closer to the event.
