'''JavaOne''' is an annual conference (since [[1996]]) put on by [[Sun Microsystems]] to discuss [[Java (programming language)|Java]] technologies, primarily among Java developers. JavaOne is held at the [[Moscone Center]] in [[San Francisco, California]] usually between April and June and typically runs from Sunday to Friday. Technical sessions on a variety of topics are held during the day. In the evening, Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions are held at the Moscone Center and surrounding hotels. 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 JavaOne conference played host to an event called the [[Hackathon]], this event was a challenge set by [[John Gage]]. Attendees were to write a programme in [[Java (programming language)|Java]] for the new [[Palm V]] using the infrared port to communicate with other Palm users and register it on the Internet.
