**Dear Java Community,**

We are delighted to announce our next **OpenValue Meetup** on **November 13th in Munich**.

This time, we’re hosting a very special guest: **Markus Eisele**, Java Champion and a renowned expert, who will dive into **connecting Java applications to AI models** using **Quarkus** and **LangChain4j**. Expect plenty of Demos and source code that you can steal.

📍 **Location:**
OpenValue Office
Sonnenstraße 22, 80331 München

**RSVP now to secure your spot**.

🗓️ **Agenda**

* 18:30 Arrival, food & drinks
* 19:00 Start of talk
* 20:00 Drinks & Discussions

🎤 **Talk:**
**"Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Quarkus and LangChain4j (But Were Afraid to Ask)"** by *Markus Eisele*
Let’s make this simple: if you’ve ever wondered how to make Java fly at supersonic speed *and* talk to large language models: This session is for you.
We’ll look into **Quarkus**, the lightning-fast, developer-happy Java framework, and **LangChain4j**, the library that connects your Java apps to AI models like ChatGPT and beyond.
But here’s the twist: This isn’t a one-way lecture.
This is a **live, question-driven** session where you can interrupt, challenge, or ask *anything* about Quarkus, AI, or how to glue them together.
I’ll bring:

* Demos that actually work (mostly)
* Source code you can steal
* Slides with just the right amount of memes
* And a good dose of German humor

You bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe your favorite debugging horror story.
By the end, you’ll not only understand how Quarkus and LangChain4j work. You’ll *feel* like building something with them.
Let’s make Java fun (again)!

**Dear Java Community,**

The meetup season is not over! And we are excited to announce another **OpenValue Meetup** on **November 25th in Munich**.

This time, we’re hosting a special event for **Neo4j** enthusiasts. **Zaid Zaim**, Microsoft MVP and TED speaker, will give an interesting talk where he will explain how to use Neo4j knowledge graphs as a powerful memory layer for your AI agents.

📍 **Location:**
OpenValue Office
Sonnenstraße 22, 80331 München

**RSVP now to secure your spot**.

🗓️ **Agenda**

🎤 **Talk:**
**"Plug-and-Play AI Memory with Neo4j Knowledge Graphs & AI Agents" by Zaid Zaim** *(Developer Advocate at Neo4j)*
AI agents are becoming core to modern applications, from copilots that assist knowledge workers to autonomous systems that manage complex workflows. Yet one major challenge remains: memory. Without it, agents lose context, forget past interactions, and often hallucinate—undermining trust and reliability. In this session, you’ll learn how to use a plug-and-play Neo4j knowledge graph as a powerful memory layer for your AI agents. Knowledge graphs capture not just facts, but relationships, allowing your agent to build a living model of conversations, decisions, and data over time. Combined with modern AI services, this approach helps ground responses, reduce hallucinations, and create a feedback loop where agents become more adaptive, contextual, and trustworthy. Through a live demo, we’ll show how to connect graph-powered memory into your AI workflows with minimal setup, so you can build copilots and agentic applications that don’t just respond in the moment—but remember, learn, and evolve with your users.

**About Zaid:**
As a Developer Advocate at Neo4j, I help developers harness the power of graph technology and AI. A Microsoft MVP and global speaker at events like TED, Microsoft Build, and WeAreDevelopers, I focus on making complex tech accessible through content, community, and hands-on support. My mission is to connect, empower, and inspire developers to build impactful solutions.
