Hi JUG Leaders and Java Champions,

We invite you to share your experiences in development with the industry and the Java Community in Africa by submitting a proposalfor this far from the « classic » event at info@jcertif.com !


JCertif
 is a mix of technical session, training, life experience and a bit of an adventure !
The event will take place in Brazzaville, Congo on September 14-15 (for the conference only) and September 9-13 (for the University) . 

PS : Don't worry, you will be back in time for JavaOne 2013 (I will be speaking at JavaOne too :-) )

Of course could help with transportation and accommodation as well Congolese beer (N'Gok) !
Still hesitating ? Ask these Java guys about the JCertif Experience :
  • Mike Levin (keynote speaker), 
  • Alexis Mouchine (GlassFish Team now a Googler)
  • Arun Gupta (Oracle GlassFish Team), 
  • Michael Heinrichs (Oracle JavaFX Team),
  • Chris Bailey (IBM and JavaOne Rock Star 2012)
JCertif Conference and JCertif University :
  • full training and talking days
  • 110 to 120 Training sessions and programming courses (see our last year agenda)
  • 1200 - 1500 attendees for the University only
