If you're a Java/JVM developer, consider attending another Devoxx conference to network with top-notch teams and speakers. However, if you haven't submitted something yet, encourage yourself to do so, as you likely have valuable insights to share. Don't let impostor syndrome or fear of speaking in public hold you back - practice and preparation can help alleviate these concerns. Even if your submission is rejected, don't get discouraged, as it's not uncommon for proposals to be turned down. Instead, consider becoming a volunteer or participating in the selection process to gain experience. With persistence and hard work, you may become part of the Devoxx Masochist club and earn the title of Devoxx Champion.
