What is a Lightning Talk?
Lightning Talks are short, powerful presentations lasting 5 to 10 minutes that focus on a single idea, insight, or topic. They’re fast-paced, engaging, and designed to leave a lasting impression. This is your chance to share your knowledge, spark conversations, and inspire the audience—without the long-form commitment of a full presentation.

Josh Long and James Ward: Bootiful Spring AI
Thrive Workplace, 9200 E Mineral Ave, Centennial, CO, US5:30-6:00: Food, Soda, Beer, and Networking
6:00-6:15: Announcements
6:15-7:45: Bootiful Spring AI
The age of artificial intelligence (because the search for regular intelligence hasn't gone well..) is nearly at hand, and it's everywhere! But is it in your application? It should be. AI is about integration, and here the Java and Spring communities come second to nobody. In this talk, we'll demystify the concepts of modern day Artificial Intelligence and look at its integration with the white hot new Spring AI project, a framework that builds on the richness of Spring Boot to extend them to the wide world of AI engineering.
