Percona Live Europe call for papers is now open!

The Percona Live Europe 2016 call for papers is now officially open! We’re looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam this October 3-5, and hearing your speak! Ask yourself “Do I have…”:

• Fresh ideas?
• Enlightening case studies?
• Insight on best practices?
• In-depth technical knowledge?

If the answer to any of these is “YES,” then you need to submit your proposal for a chance to speak at Percona Live Europe 2016. Speaking is a great way to broaden not only the awareness of your company with an intelligent and engaged audience of software architects, senior engineers and developers, but also your own!

The deadline to submit is July 18th, 2016.

Tracks/Topics: 

Percona Live Europe 2016 is looking for topics for Breakout Sessions, Tutorial Sessions, and Lightning Talks:

• Breakout Session. Submissions should be detailed and clearly indicate the topic and content of your proposal for the Conference Committee. Sessions should either be 25 minutes or 50 minutes in length, including Q&A.
• Tutorial Session. Submissions should be detailed and include an agenda for review by the Conference Committee. Tutorial sessions should present immediate and practical applications of in-depth knowledge of MySQL, NoSQL, or Data in the Cloud technologies. They should be presented at a level between a training class and a conference breakout session. Attendees are expected to have their laptops to work through detailed and potentially hands-on presentations. Tutorials will be 3 hours in length including Q&A. If you would like to submit your proposal as a full day, six-hour tutorial, please indicate this in your submission.
• Lightning Talks. Lightning talks are five-minute presentations focusing on one key point that will be of interest to the community. Talks can be technical, lighthearted, fun or otherwise entertaining submissions. These can include new ideas, a successful project, a cautionary story, quick tip or demonstration. This session is an opportunity for ideas to get the attention they deserve. The rules for this session are easy: five minutes and only five minutes. Use this time wisely to present the pertinent message of the subject matter and have fun doing so!
