What's On Your Mind?
A tricky technical decision. Your next career move. A team challenge you haven’t quite figured out.
Bring it to the Mentoring Hub at JCON EUROPE. Talk it through with experienced people from the developer community, explore different perspectives and find ideas for your next step.
Whatever matters to you as a developer, there’s room to talk about it.
Where Could Your Conversation Start?
The code you build
Architecture decisions, unfamiliar tools, legacy systems, testing strategies or a bug that keeps coming back. Bring your technical questions and explore how someone else would approach them.
The path you take
Your first developer role, growing as a specialist, stepping into leadership or finding your place in open source. Talk about where you are and where you might want to go.
The people you work with
Giving feedback, sharing knowledge, explaining technical decisions or finding your voice in a team. The human side of development deserves time and attention, too.
Have something else in mind? Bring it. These are conversation starters, and your question can take a different direction.
A Fresh Perspective on Your Situation
Sometimes you’ve considered the options and still feel stuck. Sometimes you need someone to ask the question you hadn’t thought of.
At the Mentoring Hub, you can share your situation with people who bring different experiences from across the developer community.
Ask follow-up questions, compare approaches and explore what could work for you.
You might leave with an idea to try, a clearer understanding of your options or a useful question to take back to your team.
This Is a Conversation, Not a Presentation
Mentorship sessions are deliberately informal.
You are there to talk. The mentor is there to help!
Ask a question.
Explain the problem you are dealing with.
Tell them about a decision you need to make.
Hear another perspective.
Learn from someone who may already have made the mistake you are about to make.
Other attendees may join the conversation as well, which means you can learn from each other's questions and experiences.
Make Conferences More Personal
A conference can give you hundreds of sessions and thousands of people.
But sometimes one useful conversation is the thing you remember six months later.
It might help you choose a technology.
Change how you approach a project.
Give you an idea for your career.
Introduce you to somebody new.
Or simply confirm that other people are struggling with exactly the same problem.
That is what the Mentoring Hub is for.
Less presenting. More talking. More sharing. More learning from each other.
Check the mentoring schedule during JCON EUROPE, find a topic that matters to you and come join the conversation.
Your Next Step Could Start A Conversation
That question you keep putting off? Bring it to the Mentoring Hub. Talk through a challenge, explore an idea or get a fresh perspective from experienced developers who make time for what matters to you.
Make the conversation part of your JCON EUROPE 2027 experience.
