New for 2008, The Spring Experience conference is now SpringOne Americas (www.americas.springone.com). SpringOne is the annual conference for the global Spring community. This event is brought to you by SpringSource and the No Fluff Just Stuff Software Symposium Series. SpringOne will focus on the emerging technologies and best practices around the Spring Framework and enterprise software development. This event will feature the project founders, core committers, authors, consultants, project leads, and professional trainers.

Having drawn thousands of developers, architects, CIOs and CTOs since its inception, SpringOne Americas, formerly known as The Spring Experience, is designed to support the Spring and SpringSource developer and technical thought leader community. SpringOne Americas provides an open forum to share insights on current development challenges and future directions around Spring, as well as to showcase the latest advancements in Spring technology.

Keynote sessions by Rod Johnson, the ‘creator and father of Spring,’ John Rymer, industry analyst from Forrester Research, and Adrian Colyer, the chief technology officer for SpringSource, will headline the conference. The four-day conference will also feature more than 70 sessions split into five parallel tracks that address all aspects of Spring, including web architecture, enterprise integration and large-scale production systems. Other sessions will be led by many of the core developers of the Spring Framework and Apache projects including Juergen Hoeller, Rob Harrop, Ben Alex, and Filip Hanik.

“With the enterprise-wide adoption of Spring as a mission-critical part of application infrastructure, technologists increasingly need to understand best practices, learn about the successes of Spring-based solutions, and gain insight into the roadmap for the technology,” said Rod Johnson, CEO of SpringSource. “SpringOne is the perfect venue to achieve these goals, get valuable education from the technology experts, and to network with other Spring professionals.”

The conference’s concentrated focus will be on in-depth technical presentations, customer testimonials, hands-on workshops and technical advice about Spring Portfolio projects and SpringSource products, including SpringSource Enterprise and the new SpringSource Application Platform. In addition, the conference will feature technical presentations on infrastructure technologies from the Apache Software Foundation, namely the Apache Tomcat Application Server.
