Event Summary
#

The Tamil Nadu Java User Group (TNJUG) Madurai Chapter Launch was a full-day technical community meetup bringing together developers, students, engineers, and technology enthusiasts from Madurai and surrounding areas. The event focused on Java, JVM performance, memory management, AI agents, hands-on learning, and community networking.

Hosted at Dot Com Infoway, Madurai in collaboration with TNIA, the meetup served as a platform for deep technical exploration and marked the official launch of the TNJUG Madurai Chapter — establishing a local hub for continuous knowledge sharing, peer mentorship, and developer community building.
