The Ukraine JUG has an interesting CFP you may be interested in - 
From Andrii Rodionov
JUG UA Leader
This year is significant for Java. So our JUG have decided to organize several JavaDay conferences in different cities in Ukraine devoted to Java's anniversary.

The first one has just been held in Lviv. We had very unusual venue - it was Lviv international airport -https://www.facebook.com/javadayukraine/photos_stream
One of the gates was used as a IoT demo-zone. Participants were able to find there quadcopters, smart glasses, Intelligent Sphero 2.0  ball and Smart Greenhouse - Oracle IoT Developer Challenge 2014 Winner.
Among the talks, there was one devoted to participation of our JUG in Adopt a JSR initiative. (We take part in Adopt JSR 367 - Java API for JSON-Binding, JSON-B, http://jug.ua/adopt-a-jsr/)

Now our team have started preparation to the 5th JavaDay Kiev, which will be held in Kiev on 6th-7th of November. We are planning to have 700+ participants and to make the conference as great as possible.
At this moment we are looking for speakers - http://javaday.org.ua/call-for-papers-kyiv/. 
We would be grateful if you could share this information with everyone who might be interested.

Looking forward to seeing you in Kiev!

With best regards,

As many of you know, I'm involved with the SeneJUG (www.senejug.com) and there's a conference called JCertif coming up. Here's some detail:
Hello community,
As we announced, we are in preparation for Dakar 2015. The JCertif things become clearer and dates of 27 & 28 November 2015 were selected for Jcertif University and JCertif Conference. Be sure to mark these dates in your diary already.
Commissions were created to organize this international event. We appeal therefore to the community to join these committees and thus participate in the success of the 2015 edition. http://jcertif.com/en/
You can show your interest by return mail. We look forward to your participation!
Regards.
