We want to offer the Perl community a selection of courses and tutorials before and after the conference. Master Classes can be a half day (3 hours), full day (6 hours) or 2 days in length and will run on Sunday 19th, Thursday 23rd, or Friday 24th of June.</span></p>

Is there a dead line for submitting these proposals?
Do you have a planned date when you make the accepted courses public?
Could you give us a hint regarding the administrative costs and costs? Does that include the cost of the rooms?
Could you tell us the possibilities (and costs) of providing refreshment for the classes?
It's best to direct your questions to talks@yapcna.org
Our target date to publish accepted classes is March 1st.
Admin costs do include the cost of the room, AV rentals, and refreshments. Last year, the admin cost was $75. We expect it to be about that much this year as well.
AM and PM refreshments are provided for Master Classes. Lunch is not provided.
