Are you heading to SpringOne 2025 — And Why You Should Too
Hey Spring fans, Java architects, and curious engineers —
Let me cut to the chase: SpringOne 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting developer event this year.
🗓️ Date: August 25-28, 2025
📍 Location: The Venetian, Las Vegas
🎟️ Vibe: Part tech deep-dive, part hallway-conference magic, all-in on Spring.
If you’ve ever built with Spring Boot, wrangled Kafka topics, fought with NullPointerExceptions, or wondered if your REST APIs could be better, this is your playground. And it's not just talks — it's tutorials, roundtables, quick talks, and one-on-one time with the actual engineers behind the code.
Let me give you a glimpse of a few sessions I’ve marked “can’t miss” on my schedule:
🔁 AMQP 1.0 with Spring (and RabbitMQ 4.0)
Speaker: Artem Bilan, Lead Software Engineer, Broadcom
RabbitMQ 4.0 brings AMQP 1.0, and Spring is ready. Artem’s session introduces a new Spring AMQP module designed to integrate directly with AMQP 1.0. If you deal with messaging protocols, queues, or want to prep for future-proof async architectures, this is your deep-dive.
🚫 Null Safety in Spring with JSpecify and NullAway
Speakers: Cora Iberkleid & DaShaun Carter, Developer Advocates, Broadcom
Nulls have haunted Java devs for decades. JSpecify and NullAway are about to change that. Learn how static analysis and smarter typing can help you squash NullPointerExceptions before they hit production. Bonus: a sneak peek at Spring Framework 7 and Spring Boot 4.
🚀 Beyond REST: Crafting a Modern GraphQL API Live
Speaker: Dan Vega, Spring Developer Advocate
Dan’s doing this one live. No slides — just code. You’ll learn how to build a GraphQL API in real time with Spring Boot, including schema-first design, query filtering, and batching. It’s everything REST can’t do, and it’s way more fun to build.
☕ Meet the Spring Engineering Teams (Roundtables)
Sometimes, all you want is answers. Or maybe you want to pitch an idea, share pain points, or just say thank you. At SpringOne, you can sit down (literally) with the engineers behind:
Spring Messaging (Kafka, AMQP, Cloud Stream) – with Artem Bilan & Soby Chacko
Spring Cloud – with Ryan Baxter & Spencer Gibb
Spring Security – with Rob Winch & Josh Cummings
Where else do you get direct face time with the maintainers and the roadmap shapers?
🔥 What Else?
Hands-on tutorials that go beyond "Hello, World"
Quick talks for bite-sized insights and practical patterns
After-hours networking and community magic
Real talk from devs in banking, aviation, retail, and more using Spring at scale
🎰 Why Vegas?
The Venetian is gorgeous, the energy is contagious, and you’ll leave recharged — and a better dev.
✅ So, Should You Come?
If you care about building secure, scalable, modern Java apps, SpringOne is the place to be this year.
I’ll be there, notebook in one hand, coffee in the other. Hope to see you in the hallway track 👋
