Birds of a Feather
Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions enable attendees with interests in the same project or topic to enjoy some quality face time. BOFs can be organized for individual projects or broader topics (e.g., best practices, open data, standards). Any attendee or conference speaker can propose and moderate an engaging BOF. Percona will post the selected topics and moderators online and provide a meeting space and time. The BOF sessions will be held Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. The deadline for BOF submissions is February 7.
Lightning Talks
Lightning Talks provide an opportunity for attendees to propose, explain, exhort, or rant on any MySQL, NoSQL or data-in-the-cloud-related topic for five minutes. Topics might include a new idea, successful project, cautionary story, quick tip, or demonstration. The deadline for submitting a Lightning Talk topic is February 7, 2016.
All submissions will be reviewed, and the top ten will be selected to present during one of the scheduled breakout sessions during the week. Lighthearted, fun or otherwise entertaining submissions are highly welcome.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at Percona Live!

Data does not perform. It won’t even do tricks for treats. DATABASES perform. This is the most stupid conference name possibly ever conceived. Though I should not expect more from Percona, who views this as a database marketing system.
