What and why?

Groovy, Grails, Micronaut, Spock Framework, Geb, Gradle and the related technologies have seen astounding growth in interest and adoption the past few years, and with good reason. To spread the word even more, we created GR8Conf.

GR8Conf is a not-for-profit community driven conference, that for the past ten years has provided quality content for the Groovy Ecosystem. We focus on All Things Groovy, with DevOps, Microservices and Frontend Technologies sprinkled in.
