Driving net zero: data, smart meters and changing behaviours

Accenture Glasgow

In 2025, Java turns 30. To mark the occasion, **Accenture,** **Next Gen Engineering Leeds** invites you to an evening of thought-provoking talks and discussion about where Java stands today — and where it’s headed. Is Java destined to become the next COBOL? Or will it continue to evolve into a modern, cloud-native, AI-augmented language?

Join us as we explore Java’s trajectory — from its challenging years in the 2000s to its current resurgence — and ask: what should developers expect in the *next* 30 years?

**Schedule**

* ***Java at 30: From Applets to AI:* James Burt** reflects on Java’s history, from its early popularity to its decline in the 2000s, and its remarkable comeback in recent years. This talk will trace Java’s evolution through personal experience and industry trends.
* ***Java and GenAI:* Matt Murray** shares insights from working with Java in a GenAI context — what’s actually working, where the real potential lies, and how AI could impact legacy systems and modern Java workflows.
* **Open Discussion** We want your thoughts: What role should Java play in the next decade? What should change, and what should stay the same?
