All records about the JPoint 2020 conference

New dates

We've postponed the JPoint 2020 conference. The conference will be held in WTC Congress Center on June 26-27.

Tickets

Your ticket (purchased by you or your company) remains valid for the new dates.

If the new dates and venue are convenient to you, you don't need to do anything.

However, if they are not, please contact us at support@jpoint.ru. We'll help you get a refund, exchange your ticket to the autumn conference or change the type of the ticket from offline to online with a partial refund.

As the new venue is smaller than the originally planned one, we understand that not everyone willing to participate will be able to attend the conference in person, so we are preparing some big updates for online attendees.

Program

We're in the process of discussing the new dates with our speakers. These dates may not suit some speakers, so the conference program may also change, but we will do our best to make it as exciting and useful as can be.

One of the new features of the conference is the introduction of online tracks: one room will be equipped to hold talks and discussion zones with remote speakers. We will keep you posted.

In case of the quarantine prolongation and/or more restrictions

We are looking into different formats of participation (online and mixed) in case the current or further restrictions do not allow us to gather all together this summer. We will promptly inform you about any changes.

For further questions please contact us at support@jpoint.ru.

You can replace your offline ticket to JPoint 2020 with the following options:

• a Full Pass for all of our 8 conferences this summer;
• an offline ticket to any of our conferences scheduled for fall season;
• a full refund;
• any other options of return and exchange: we'll try to match your needs.

If you have any questions left, feel free to contact us via support@jpoint.ru

New dates: June 29 to July 2 The whole world is quarantined now, so the only way for us to move on is to go entirely online. Let us explain what remains the same for the conference and what is going to change.

What is left as it was

• The program and the speakers. We still have dozens of talks delivered by the experts from all over the world.
• Several tracks held in parallel.
• Quizzes and contests from our partners.
• Check-in lines (nonetheless, we do expect that developers will finally remove a distributed lock from our authorization service on Hazelcast).
• Our team:
  • We've been organizing conferences for years and we have gained huge experience in live streaming.
  • Still, an entirely online conference is quite different from a regular offline conference streamed live (editor's note: things really get confused in here, so don't get caught up).
  • Therefore, we're currently going the extra mile here to prepare the event. It's all hands to the pump.

What is going to change

• Mountain and Muhammad. It's not you heading to the conference this time, it's the conference that is coming to you.
• Schedule. Hours of staring at the screen are just unbearable, so the program will be divided into several blocks lasting 4 to 5 hours. As a result, the conference will last 4 days.
• Format of presentations
  • Some talks will be held in a classical way.
  • Others will be more conversational, just like a podcast or a talk show (Jimmy Fallon and Oprah Winfrey ain't got nothing on us).
• Networking
  • There is no substitute to interaction with your colleagues and former classmates. We crave for it, too.
  • To be honest, it was the networking that made it extremely hard to transfer our events online.
  • Still, we're doing our best to create something more sophisticated than Telegram chats and Zoom rooms.
• Processes
  • We had to start from scratch to run a new format, which means we are now buying new equipment, hiring the contractors and retraining our staff, speakers, and partners.
• Price
  • Online conference is two times cheaper than its offline version.
  • A personal ticket will cost 150 EUR until the end of April, while a corporate one will be 300 EUR.

It's not only JPoint that goes entirely online. All of our conferences scheduled for spring and summer will be held online, too. In total, there will be 8 events online:

• JPoint — a conference on Java;
• HolyJS — a conference on JavaScript;
• DotNext — a conference on .NET;
• C++ Russia — a conference on C++;
• Mobius — a conference on mobile development;
• Heisenbug — a conference on testing;
• DevOops — conference on DevOps;
• Hydra — a conference on distributed computing.

In case you are interested in other topics apart from Java development, we have a special offer for you: a single ticket for all 8 conferences.

This option includes:

• 200 speakers from all over the world;
• over 300 activities;
• more than 500 hours of diverse content (talks, interviews, podcasts, discussions);
• dozens of partners, contests and prizes.

A personal Full Pass will cost 300 EUR until the end of April, while a corporate one will cost 600 EUR.
