From April 21 to 23, 2026, Karakun will be attending JCON EUROPE 2026 as a sponsor at the Cinedom in Cologne.

JCON is one of Europe’s established conferences for Java, software engineering, and modern development practices, bringing together developers from a wide range of backgrounds.

Meet us at the booth

At our booth, we’ll share insights into how we work and the kinds of projects we’re involved in. Most of all, we’re looking forward to connecting with the community.

We’ll also be exploring current topics such as artificial intelligence and the Cyber Resilience Act. As part of this, we’ll be conducting short interviews with visitors to gather perspectives from day-to-day development work.

And yes, there will also be the usual extras: stickers, a Karakun-branded Spitzgugge filled with Basel treats – and, most importantly, good conversations.

Talk: Accessibility as part of building better software

Our colleague Tamari Gogebashvili will give a talk on Thursday, April 23, from 12:55 to 13:15 (Cinema 6):

“From a Workshop to a Wake-Up Call: My Journey into Accessibility”

In her talk, she shares how her perspective on software development evolved through accessibility – from a compliance-driven topic to an integral part of building robust, high-quality software.

Using practical examples, she covers topics such as semantic HTML, ARIA, keyboard navigation, and automated accessibility testing, showing how small decisions in code can have a significant impact.
