Organizer Kevin Lenzo assembled 31 different speakers into the schedule on various Perl-related topics. The idea of a low-cost Perl conference quickly spread with a European version of YAPC starting in 2000, Israel in 2003, Australia in 2004, and Asia and Brazil in 2005. The only continents never to have hosted a YAPC are Africa and Antarctica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Attendee Statistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">YAPC has a normal attendance of around 150 people who, on average, vary in age from 18 to 49, though we certainly have a few younger and a few older than that. And around 90% are generally from the United States, while the rest are from countries all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over 70% who attend identify themselves as System Administrator, Developer, Architect, or Technical Manager. We also usually have a handful of business owners and C-level positions in attendance, as well as a smattering of other titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around 45% identify themselves as using Perl in an IT or Internet industry. Generally around 8% identify themselves as belonging to one of: finance, government, education, or media related industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 35% of attendees have never attended YAPC before. However, over 95% of attendees say that they&#8217;ll come again. Those numbers bear out, because around 60% of people who attend a YAPC have generally attended more than one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more hard data on YAPC attendees, checkout <a href=\"http:\/\/yapc-surveys.org\">YAPC Surveys<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous Perl and Raku Conferences in North America<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2023: <a href=\"http:\/\/perlconference.us\/tprc-2023-tor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Toronto, Ontario, CA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2022: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/perlconference.us\/tprc-2022-hou\/\" target=\"_blank\">Houston, TX USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2021: <a href=\"https:\/\/perlconference.us\/tprc-2021-cloud\/\">Conference in the Cloud 2<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2020: <a href=\"https:\/\/perlconference.us\/tpc-2020-cloud\/\">Conference in the Cloud<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2020: Houston, TX USA (Cancelled due to COVID-19)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2019: <a href=\"https:\/\/perlconference.us\/tpc-2019-pit\/\">Pittsburgh, PA USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2018: <a href=\"\/tpc-2018-slc\/\">Salt Lake City, Utah USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2017: <a href=\"https:\/\/perlconference.us\/tpc-2017-dc\/\">Alexandria, Virginia USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2016: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapcna.org\/yn2016\/\">Orlando, Florida, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2015: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapcna.org\/yn2015\/\">Salt Lake, Utah, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2014: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapcna.org\/yn2014\/\">Orlando, Florida, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2013: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapcna.org\/yn2013\/\">Austin, Texas, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2012: Madison, Wisconsin USA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2011: Asheville, North Carolina, USA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2010: Columbus, Ohio, USA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2009: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2008: <a href=\"http:\/\/conferences.mongueurs.net\/yn2008\/\">Chicago, Illinois, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2007: <a href=\"http:\/\/conferences.mongueurs.net\/yn2007\/\">Houston, Texas, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2006: <a href=\"http:\/\/yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/2006\/\">Chicago, Illinois, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2005: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/2005\/\">Toronto, Ontario, Canada<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2004: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/2004\/\">Buffalo, New York, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2003: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/2003\/\">Boca Raton, Florida, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2003: <a href=\"http:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20030608051546\/http:\/\/www.yapc.ca\/\">Ottawa, Ontario, Canada<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2002: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/2002\/\">St. Louis, Missouri, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2001: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/2001\/\">Montreal, Quebec, Canada<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2000: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/19100\/\">Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1999: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yapc.org\/America\/previous-years\/1999\/\">Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-87","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.0.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The first YAPC was held at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA on June 24 and June 25, 1999.
