Our Speaker Blog Post Series wouldn’t be complete if we didn’t include our Keynote speakers. Meet Jorge Reyes, Ortus’ Business Manager. When asked to share an anecdote or something funny so attendees could get a sense of who he was, his exact words were : “I live in Switzerland but work under US Eastern Time :D ja ja ja? It's funny to me.” 
 
As an organizer, he’s really looking forward to how the conference plays out. At Ortus our goal is to provide attendees with an experience like none other and he’s working day and night (literally) to make sure this conference meets expectations. 
 
In regards to his favorite Box product, he says: “I don't have a favorite product, because they are all awesome in their own way and for what they been created for. However, I personally hold CommandBox close to my heart because it was one of the first product releases I was actually part of with Ortus and it has been great to see how companies have used it to drastically change and modernize their CFML development landscape.”
 
Tune in to the keynotes  if you want to learn more about Jorge and Ortus. According to him, “they are just an awesome way of finding out about all that we are doing under the sun at Ortus to Modernize or Die™! At Ortus we put a lot of effort into maintaining, improving, and creating new web development tools for the CFML community and really try to do our share to make sure CFML stays modern and relevant.”

Introducing BoxLang AI Explorer: A Local Catalog for Every AI Pattern

Learning a new AI API usually means jumping between scattered documentation pages, guessing at imports, and copy-pasting code that may or may not still work. We wanted something better for BoxLang AI, so we built the BoxLang AI Explorer: a local, browser-based catalog of runnable BoxLang AI examples, organized by category and difficulty, each with guidance, source code, and sample output.

Community Spotlight: BoxLang Express Brings Node-Style HTTP to the JVM

If you've spent years in Spring Boot, Micronaut, or Jakarta EE, "web framework" usually means a servlet container, an embedded Tomcat or Netty, a build step, and a fat jar before anything answers a request. What if you could skip all of that and still be on the JVM?
