Devnexus 2020 – JUG Leaders Summit and Content Schedule

Usually, at this time of the year (the very end) I’m planning my schedule for the next year, especially regarding the events that I intend to attend and try to speak.

One of the best (and coolest) out there and that brings me more excitement is undoubtedly Devnexus. If you never heard about, it is an independent event run by the Atlanta JUG, with the top speakers of the world and with outstanding content.

In 2020, unfortunately, I won’t have the opportunity to attend as a speaker (as I did last year). But, luckily, they have opened positions for JUG leaders to attend to GLOBAL JUGS LEADERS SUMMIT, which is just *amazing*!

I’ll be there representing SouJava, one of the biggest JUGs of Brazil and in the world. For me, it’s a double honor: to represent SouJava and to attend Devnexus!

This kind of meetup between JUG leaders is one of the most interesting things in getting involved with JUGs/communities. Each group based on some city, country and/or culture have their way to engage with their communities. To absorb these differences and experiences is something awesomely valuable! This can help a lot to improve engagement, management, and leadership with our communities.

If this is not enough, there’s also the opportunity to attend to the talks of the top Java speakers in the world. Names like Venkat Subramaniam, Josh Long, Sean Philips, Edson Yanaga, Jessica Pointing, and many many others. There are more than 170 sessions of subjects like Java, DevOps, cloud, containers and much more.

I’ve built my schedule! Maybe it can have some suggestions for you:
