Microsoft JDConf 2026 (APAC)

Global Java conference where you'll see how to build AI-powered apps with Spring and write better specs for agentic coding.

Spring AI expert Josh Long (Broadcom) kicks off the APAC stream with a practical dive into integrating AI into Java applications using Spring AI framework, cutting through the hype to show real implementation patterns. The standout session comes from Nils Hyoma (MHP), who runs an interactive workshop on writing robust specs for agentic coding using BDD Problem Personas, addressing the actual problem most teams face: agents only deliver what your spec asks for, so you need to capture edge cases and hidden requirements upfront. You'll get hands-on exposure to both conceptual approaches and tools like GitHub Copilot Custom Chat in VS Code. The full APAC program covers cloud-native architecture, responsible AI operations, and enterprise security alongside the AI-focused tracks, so whether you're modernizing legacy systems or building new intelligent applications, there's enough depth to justify two days online.
