If you weren't at YAPC::NA 2010, then you probably missed the announcement that the location and dates for YAPC::NA 2011 have been decided. Chris Prather and Dahut.pm have won the bid to host YAPC::NA 2011 in Asheville, North Carolina.

Mark your calendars because the conference dates have already been decided and will be June 27 - July 1 2011.

Congratulations to Dahut.pm on hosting the next YAPC::NA!

"While YAPC::Europe 2010 preparations are well underway in Pisa, it
is time for the YAPC::Europe Foundation (YEF) to look for suitable
sites for the 2011 conference. Any dedicated group interested in
hosting YAPC::Europe 2011 should send a brief statement of intent to
venue - at - yapceurope.org. This should be followed by a complete application.
The deadline for applications is June 30, 2010.

For details on how to prepare your complete application, consider the
examples of previous conferences at http://www.yapceurope.org/organizers.html .
If your proposal is selected, it will be added to the others on this page
(you will have the opportunity to remove private information first).
Be certain to include contact information (including telephone numbers)
for at least two members of the group.

You may also direct any questions to the aforementioned email address.

A decision on the location will be publicly announced at the beginning of
the Pisa conference."

Also, remember that the YAPC::NA 2011 Call for Venue is open now through June 1st!

YAPC::NA 2010 is almost here!

June 21st - 23rd 2010 is quickly approaching and Columbus.pm is getting very excited. Hotel reservation information is available, dorm reservation details are up and ready, and the conference is quickly approaching.

For everyone still looking for YAPC::NA 2010 details here is what we have planned.

The conference will be held in the brand new beautiful The Ohio State Union. The main dorm location is Morrison Tower and the Hotel conference block is in The Blackwell Inn.

Larry Wall, Damian Conway, Randal Schwartz, and many others will be in attendance. Early registration is quickly coming to an end so make sure that you forward this to all of your friends and coworkers and get signed up today!

I hope to see you all at YAPC::NA 2010 in beautiful Columbus, Ohio.

The time has come for the Yet Another Perl Conference, North America Call For Venue!

Entries can be submitted now through June 1st 2010 to the TPF conferences group: tpf-conferences (at) perl (dot) org. We hope to announce the winners at this year's YAPC::NA in Columbus, Ohio.

Are you ready to get started? First off, you will want to review the bidding details at yapc.org. While there, you'll also find links to the venue requirements and the review criteria that the committee uses to judge bids. Previous bids and announcements can be found with the yapc tag at The Perl Foundation blog.

When making your proposal, in addition to venue information and possible dates, please make sure to include details on airport locations, local public transit (as well as transit to the venue from the airport!), local cultural attractions, and accommodation information. The more information you provide, within reason, the better. Also, please include contact information for the members of your team.

With a June 1st deadline, you hopefully will have time to get your bid completed and submitted to the Conferences Committee early so that we can provide some feedback and allow you to make changes if needed.

Hosting YAPC is a rewarding experience and provides a great opportunity to give back to the Perl community. Good luck and we look forward to receiving your bid!

Send any questions and completed bids to the TPF conferences group: tpf-conferences (at) perl (dot) org
