+  title: How I solved production issues with OpenTelemetry (and how you can too)
+  abstract:
+    Ensuring the reliability of your Java applications is critical in today's fast-paced world. But how do you identify and fix production issues before they get worse? With cloud-native applications, it can be even more difficult because you can't log into the system to get some of the data you need. The answer lies in observability - and in particular, OpenTelemetry.<BR>
+    <BR>
+    In this session, I'll show you how I used OpenTelemetry to solve several production problems. You'll learn how I uncovered critical issues that were invisible without the right telemetry data - and how you can do the same. OpenTelemetry provides the tools you need to understand what's happening in your application in real time, from tracking down hidden bugs to uncovering system bottlenecks. These solutions have significantly improved our applications' performance and reliability.<BR>
+    <BR>
+    A key concept we will use is traces. Architecture diagrams often don't tell the whole story, especially in microservices landscapes. I'll show you how traces can help you build a service graph and save you hours in a crisis. A service graph gives you an overview and helps to find problems.<BR>
+    <BR>
+    Whether you're new to observability or a seasoned professional, this session will give you practical insights and tools to improve your application's observability and change the way how you handle production issues. Solving problems is much easier with the right data at your fingertips.

+talk:
+  title: Find your way to the right trace
+  abstract:
+    Customer impact is reported since 5 minutes, you see an error spike in your metrics, but what is causing this? Is it related to requests to downstream services? Or do we face other problems? Do we face these problems on all endpoints or just a single endpoint? Is it related to a specific country or specific customer journey?   
+    The replacement for the old tracing UI has been live for about a year now, but time moves on, and Application and Chain Observability evolves too.   
+    In a presentation and live demo I will show how to use this plugin in Grafana to get to the right traces and explain how to perform more advanced queries to obtain the necessary information.   
+    
+    What if you could enrich the spans so that you could better understand the context of the requests, and query them too? This could help you analyse the impact of new changes to your application or provide more answers in the event of outages.
+    In the demo, I will show you how to improve the observability of your application.
