Jim Grisanzio from Java Developer Relations talks with Dervis Mansuroglu and Marek Machnik last week from JavaZone 2024 in Oslo.

The discussion covered the speakers, the venue, the volunteers, the content, and the community that participated at the conference. Summarizing the overall event, Dervis said, “Whatever you can dream of, it’s possible. Nothing is impossible.” That sentiment was shared by many of the thousands of developers who contributed to make JavaZone an innovative and unique experience.
