About jProfessionals

jProfessionals is a local Bulgarian one-day conference featuring mostly Bulgarian speakers, fully community-driven and completely FREE. This annual conference is held in Plovdiv during Spring and in Sofia during Winter, bringing together tech professionals from across Bulgaria.

Initially planned as a mini, free version of jPrime, jProfessionals has evolved with a unique twist—each edition focuses on a specific technology or theme. It’s designed for professionals (or aspiring professionals) by professionals, creating an intimate environment for deep technical discussions and knowledge sharing.

Examples of technologies can be Quarkus, Helidon, or Spring. Let’s make a bigger and better Java community, let’s meet, let’s talk, let’s discuss!
