'''JavaOne''' is an annual conference inaugurated in 1996 by [[Sun Microsystems]] to discuss [[Java (programming language)|Java]] technologies, primarily among Java developers. JavaOne is held in [[San Francisco, California]] typically running from Monday to Thursday. Technical sessions on a variety of topics are held during the day. In the evening, Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions are held. BOF sessions allow people to focus in on a particular aspect of Java technology.

Access to the technical sessions, keynote presentations, exhibits and BOF sessions requires a conference pass, which usually costs between $1795 to $1995 USD.

In 1999, the conference played host to an event called the [[Hackathon]], a challenge set by [[John Gage]]. Attendees were to write a program in Java for the new [[Palm V]] using the infrared port to communicate with other Palm users and register the device on the Internet.

JavaOne 2010, the first conference to be run after the acquisition of Sun by [[Oracle Corporation]], was held September 19–23, concurrently with [[Oracle OpenWorld]]. This was the first year that the conference was not held at Moscone Center, instead hosted at three hotels on nearby Mason Street, one block of which was closed and covered with a tent, which formed part of the conference venue. JavaOne 2011 was held in the same venue configuration as in 2010, as will be JavaOne 2012, from September 30 to October 4.{{update after|2012|10|4}}
