'''JavaOne''' iswas an annual conference first organized in 1996 by [[OracleSun CorporationMicrosystems]] to discuss [[Java (programming language)|Java]] technologies, primarily among Java developers. JavaOneIt iswas held in [[San Francisco, California]], typically running from a Monday to Thursday in September or October. Technical sessions on a variety of topics are held during the day. In the evening,and Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions areon held,a whichvariety allowof peopleJava-related totopics focuswere onheld athroughout particular aspect of Javathe technologyweek.

Access to the technical sessions, keynote presentations, exhibits and BOF sessions requires a conference pass, which costs US$2,050.<ref>[https://www.oracle.com/javaone/register/index.html JavaOne: Register]</ref>

The conference was first organized in 1996 by [[Sun Microsystems]], which was purchased in 2010 by Oracle Corporation. After the acquisition, the conference has been held concurrently with [[Oracle OpenWorld]]. The conference was moved from Moscone Center to hotels on nearby Mason Street. In some years, one block of Mason was closed and covered with a tent, which formed part of the conference venue.

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.

During the 2008 conference, 70 [[Moscone Center]] staff members and three attendees were sickened by an outbreak of [[norovirus]].<ref>{{cite news | author=Gavin Clarke | title =Sick of JavaOne? - You will be: Suspected Norovirus stalks halls | url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/05/10/javaone_norovirus/ | publisher=[[The Register]] | date=May 10, 2008}}</ref>
