Learn how Java developers are moving beyond “AI as a feature” and towards systems where intelligence is built in from day one. **Location:** Virtual: [Join us on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/live/hYHUxVZ7n2Q?si=uvI_lG1xqx0M3na3 "https://www.youtube.com/live/hYHUxVZ7n2Q?si=uvI_lG1xqx0M3na3") Venue: Tessl AI Limited - 210 Pentonville Rd, London N1 9JY, United Kingdom **Agenda:** * 6:00pm – Doors open ​(live stream begins on YouTube with vJUG) * 6:45pm - Kick off and message from our partners * ​Session 1: Bootiful Spring AI with Josh Long * ​Session 2: AI Native Architecture for Java Applications with Pratik Patel ​(live stream ends) * ​8pm – Networking * ​9pm – Wrap-up **Talk 1: Bootiful Spring AI with Josh Long** 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. **​Jodh Long, Spring Developer Advocate at Broadcom** [​Josh (@starbuxman)](http://twitter.com/starbuxman "http://twitter.com/starbuxman") has been the first Spring Developer Advocate since 2010. Josh is a Java Champion, author of 7 books (including "[Reactive Spring](http://reactivespring.io/ "http://reactivespring.io/")") and numerous best-selling video training (including "[Building Microservices with Spring Boot Livelessons](https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/building-microservices-with/9780134192468/ "https://www.safaribooksonline.com/library/view/building-microservices-with/9780134192468/")" with Spring Boot co-founder Phil Webb), and an open-source contributor (Spring Boot, Spring Integration, Axon, Spring Cloud, Activiti, Vaadin, etc), a Youtuber ([Coffee + Software with Josh Long](https://youtube.com/@coffeesoftware "https://youtube.com/@coffeesoftware") as well as my [Spring Tips series](http://bit.ly/spring-tips-playlist "http://bit.ly/spring-tips-playlist") ), and a podcaster ("[A Bootiful Podcast](http://bootifulpodcast.fm/ "http://bootifulpodcast.fm/")"). **Talk 2: AI Native Architecture for Java Applications** ​We are currently moving from "AI-enabled" systems, where artificial intelligence is an additive feature, to "AI-native" systems, where intelligence is the foundational, architectural core. An AI-native application is not merely a traditional application with a machine learning model bolted on; it is an entirely new class of software designed from the ground up to learn, adapt, and act autonomously. These systems are architected around continuous data ingestion, real-time model interaction, and a contextual understanding of the application and runtime environment. ​We'll discuss the key elements mentioned above and the difference between existing applications that have added AI capability as an accessory, and this new class of applications that are built with AI in mind from the start. While we'll use the Java ecosystem in examples, the principles we'll discuss are language agnostic. ​We'll focus on the architecture discuss these topics: * Big Data and data pipelines * ​Integration with other services and APIs * ​Testing considerations * ​Evolution of UI/AX **​Pratik Patel, Lead Developer Relations Engineer at Azul Ststems** Pratik Patel is a Java Champion, developer advocate at Azul Systems and has written 3 books on programming (Java, Cloud and OSS). An all around software and hardware nerd with experience in the healthcare, telecom, financial services, and startup sectors.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics.

Our nonprofit is built by professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large. **What’s Happening?** ***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.*** This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone. **Why Attend?** Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business. This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
