The Perl and Raku Conference or TPRC (Formerly known as YAPC::NA) is a high-quality, inexpensive technical conference with its roots in the Perl Mongers user groups. The conference celebrates the Perl and Raku programming languages. It is meant to be accessible to anyone, regardless of experience, yet valuable to even the most skilled programmers. Each year, the conference attracts hundreds of programmers from around the world.

This year’s conference has a slightly different format from previous years. On Friday, June 27, we’ll have an all-day small-group class, and the main conference will be Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29.

Learn!

Attend great presentations from all parts of the Perl and Raku communities. We’ll have dozens of sessions on a great variety of topics. Don’t forget to sign up for one of our great all-day tutorials to engage in some deep learning.

We’re looking for speakers. The call for presenters is now open.

Presentations are given by volunteer speakers from all over the world! Our schedule is coming soon!
