Percona Live 2017We’ve extended the Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017 call for papers deadline until November 13th!

If you haven’t submitted already, please consider doing so. Speaking at Percona Live is a great way to build your personal and company brands, and if selected you will receive a complimentary full conference pass! For Percona Live 2017, we’re not just looking for MySQL and MongoDB topics, but also talks on other open source databases. 

The Percona Live 2017 Call for Papers is open until November 13, 2016. Do you have a MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL or open source database use case to share, a skill to teach, or a big idea to discuss? We invite you to submit your speaking proposal for either breakout or tutorial sessions. This conference provides an opportunity to network with peers and technology professionals. It brings together accomplished DBA’s, system architects and developers from around the world to share their knowledge and experience.

Percona Live 2017 is looking for topics for Breakout Sessions, Tutorial Sessions, and Lightning Talks:

  • Breakout Session. Make submissions 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. Make submissions 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, MongoDB and open source database 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, 6-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!

Submit your topics as soon as you can, the period closes on November 13, 2016!
