I am thinking about attending a Java related conference next year. Are there any European ones, preferably smaller and less intimidating, you can recommend to a newcomer? I'm currently going through JCON recordings but that one seems big. In the meantime I also plan to visit my local JUG meeting

The context is that I'm a rather stereotypically shy and introverted software engineer, but I want to push myself a bit and try to make some real world connections with fellow. Maybe even speak at one someday. I've been working on improving myself for the past few years and I think it's time to pick up the pace and take this step.

I attended JAX once and it was pretty nice.

Jspring (small), Jfall (medium) in the Netherlands (Utrecht) and Devoxx (large) in Belgium (Antwerp, but Devoxx is worldwide really). Although sizes may be relative.
