**Talk Abstract:** — \# Bootiful Spring Boot 4: Sweet and Sour Spring Boot 4.x and Java 25 have arrived, making it an exciting time to be a Java developer! Join us, **Josh Long** (@starbuxman) and **DaShaun Carter** (@dashaun), will dive into the future of Spring Boot with Java 25. We'll learn how to scale your applications and codebases effortlessly, explore the robust Spring Boot ecosystem featuring AI, modularity, seamless data access, security, and cutting-edge production optimizations like Project Loom's virtual threads, GraalVM, AppCDS, and more. Let's explore the latest-and-greatest in Spring Boot to build faster, more scalable, more efficient, more modular, more secure, and more intelligent systems and services and we'll look at how to get older apps to this leaner, greener future. \-\-\- **Josh Long** (@starbuxman) has been Spring's first-ever Developer Advocate since 2010. A Java Champion, author of 7 books, host of *A Bootiful Podcast*, and open-source contributor — if Spring ships it, Josh has probably already done a live demo of it. **DaShaun Carter** (@dashaun) is a Spring Developer Advocate at Broadcom, Testcontainers Champion, and keynote speaker with a passion for helping developers ship better software, faster. Whether he's on stage, on a Raspberry Pi, or on a racecourse, he brings the same deliberate, high-energy focus to everything he does. **Important:** Please share your mail address ( if you have not done already) , need it for security clearance at Redhat .

**Let’s meet for dinner and simply talk about life.** **This meetup is about slowing down after a long day, enjoying a simple, good meal together, and having relaxed, meaningful conversations.

Sometimes friendships begin over the most ordinary dinners. 🍲😊** *******Important note:** **Strictly no MLM, sales, insurance, investment solicitation, or any misaligned intention.** **Anyone attending with the intention of collecting contact numbers, pitching products, or recruiting are not welcomed.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
