## AI overview

The author explains why Codename One stopped attending JavaOne. Despite meetings, talks, and a booth, the event produced little revenue or traction, while the conference audience was often not responsible for mobile development. The author says Internet promotion currently provides better returns and that the lack of Android content reduces JavaOne's relevance to mobile developers.

## Source excerpt

I love going to JavaOne, I used to do it every year and it's loads of fun. I've been speaking on a regular basis at JavaOne since 2008 and got a rockstar award a while back. Two years ago we purchased a booth to promote Codename One as well. Last year we skipped the show and it has been so great we decided to skip it again. While JavaOne is loads of fun it does nothing to the bottom line even if you have a booth in place. We had many meetings, talks & introductions. These resulted in very little in terms of revenue or traction shift.
