Event Description

This event is now full!



Java programmers speak in hushed whispers about some mythical conference in the Mediterranean.  Is it real?  Is it truly the best Java conference in the world, as claimed herehere and here?  Who gets in?
  

In 2017:

  • We're changing the upper limit to 250, for only one year.
  • Instead of invitation-only, all that pass our basic criteria can come.
  • Seats allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

It will be crazy.  Chaotic.  Dangerous.  Fun.  Greece will pass new geek-containment laws.

Here is how you can qualify:

  1. Java Champion? – you’re in
  2. Author of Java book w/ at least 5000 copies sold? – you’re in
  3. Speaker at five major Java conferences? – you’re in
  4. Java programmer w/ at least 6 years industry experience? – you’re in
  5. Female Java programmer w/ at least 2 years industry experience? – you’re in
  6. Personal invite by a conference “disorganizer”? – you’re in
  7. Anyone else – put your name down & if we have space we might do a raffle.

Don’t snooze.  First-come-first-served.

JCrete® officially kicks off on Sunday the 16th of July 2017 at 8pm at the Orthodox Academy of Crete and ends on Friday the 21st of July after lunch.  JCrete4Kids is on the 22nd and 23rd of July in Chania and Heraklion.

JCrete® is completely funded by its attendees.  We each pay €110 directly to the Orthodox Academy of Crete for using their facilities.

Presentation: Building Evals for AI Adoption: From Principles to Practice

Mallika Rao discusses the hidden risk of evaluation debt in production AI systems, drawing on her experience at Twitter, Walmart, and Netflix.

GitHub reports cutting token costs in agentic CI workflows by up to 62% by pruning unused MCP tools, swapping some MCP calls for gh CLI, and running daily “auditor” and “optimizer” agents. A token-usage.jsonl artefact and an Effective Tokens metric help track spend across models and spot regressions.

Presentation: From Founding Engineer to CTO to CEO – At the Same Startup

Trisha Ballakur discusses her journey from a backend software engineer to CTO and CEO, using her startup Pointz as a case study.

Accountability is the Goal for AI, with EU Regulations Supporting Transparency

AI bias mirrors human bias; both stem from our language and lived experiences. Ethics and AI are inseparable, but AI changes affordances, making harmful actions easier to carry out. The EU regulations apply to AI, since digital products are products. The ultimate goal is accountability: companies must ensure transparency, and laws should favor using the simplest AI that gets the job done.
