Java 21 Launch Event

Java 21 is about to be released! Come celebrate with us on the Java YouTube Channel on September 19th from 13:00 to 21:00 UTC. We will be hosting an 8-hour live stream covering the launch of Java 21 as well as some other announcements.

During the event we will cover what's in this release, have interviews with exciting guests like Chief Java Architect Mark Reinhold, Chief Java Language Architect Brian Goetz, and Timefold co-founder Geoffrey De Smet, and we will have community segments featuring the Paris and Karlsruhe JUGs. You'll be led through the live stream by our intrepid hosts Ana-Maria Mihalceanu, Billy Korando, and Nicolai Parlog.
