Ignite Percona: San Francisco

Ignite Percona is a free social event to accompany Percona Live: San Francisco on February 16th, 2011. Ignite is a series of rapid presentations by top MySQL speakers. Attendees will hear two hours of information-packed speeches from people who know how to make MySQL sing, dance, and make coffee. You can propose a talk too.

Ignite presentations have exactly 20 slides which auto-advance every 15 seconds. This means that whether the topic be the best way to backup MySQL, or the internals of the InnoDB storage engine, each presenter only has 5 minutes to get their point across. It ain't easy.

If you are already registered for Percona Live, then you do not need to register again for Ignite Percona. If you will just be joining us for the evening, please register yourself for the Ignite Percona evening event only ticket.
