I went to J-Fall 2022 on the 3d of November 2022.

I attended the following sessions:

Pattern Matching: Small Enhancement or Major Feature? - Hanno Embregts Peter Wessels: I enjoyed it immensely.
Design Patterns in the Light of Lambda Expressions - Venkat Subramaniam: It was pretty good. An eyeopener was replacing Autoclosable with Lambdas, that was fun.
Java Next - From Amber to Loom, from Panama to Valhalla - Nicolai Parlog: Great overview of what's coming.
Effective Developer Testing: taking it to the next level - Maurício Aniche: He had some thoughts on tests that I didn't think of before.
Modern and Lightweight Cloud Application Development with Jakarta EE 10 - Ivar Grimstad: I always like to keep up to date with Jakarta.
Keep your dependencies in check - Marit van Dijk: Dependencies, who doesn't hate them.

Things I would like to have attended, but will probably at some point look them up on the YouTube:

Supercharge your Native Image applications 🚀 - Alina Yurenko: Really interested in this, since I'm using GraalVM in my hobby projects. Unfortunately cannot go native at the moment, as lots of it is dynamic.
Threading the needle: multithreading with project Loom - Marcel Ton: Sounded interesting, but I don't do much with threads (which is the safe bet, honestly).

And that's about it.
