From Cloud Native to AI Native: Harnessing Quarkus, MCP, and Azure OpenAI
Speaker(s): Daniel Oh
Date/Time: April 8th, 11:30am-12:00pm MDT
Abstract: Modern Java applications demand speed, scale, and intelligence. Join us as we explore how Quarkus helps developers build AI-native microservices that seamlessly connect with enterprise systems through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We'll demonstrate how Azure MCP servers provide a secure operational bridge between AI and application data, while Azure OpenAI delivers powerful model intelligence directly into your workflows. This session features a hands-on technical deep dive and a live demo, showing the complete journey from code to a production-ready, AI-enhanced service running on Azure.

AI beyond the Buzzword: How to Integrate LLMs and Java in Real Life
Speaker(s): Elder Moraes
Date/Time: On-Demand
Abstract: Recently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized software development, promising to transform user interactions and redefine business paradigms. The emergence of ChatGPT/OpenAI and the proliferation of various LLMs, led by big tech companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, have pushed these models to the forefront of technological innovation. But what about you, Java developer? Can this innovation be brought into your own code to take your projects to the next level? You bet! To find out how, you are invited to this session, which will take a practical approach to integrating LLMs into the Quarkus ecosystem, led by LangChain4J.
