The conference organizing team is excited to present details of the 2025 Perl and Raku Conference, to be held June 27-29 in Greenville, SC. Registration for the conference will open soon, but you can start planning now to attend. We'd love to see you in the Palmetto State next summer!
## Streamlined conference, new schedule!
The Perl and Raku Conference 2025 is changing things up a little. We're streamlining the conference and its venue, and focusing on the best of the best presenters. The conference will begin on Friday, June 27, 2025, with an all-day class. That evening, the Arrival Dinner and Anti-Arrival dinners. Saturday morning the 28th, the conference proper kicks off with a great keynote from someone new to our conference, followed up by BOFs and breakout sessions across the rest of Saturday and Sunday the 29th.
Every morning of the conference, around the breakfast area of the hotel, and outside the breakout rooms, look for your copy of Update::Daily, our daily newsletter which will have the latest updates on sessions for the day, news about after-hours events, and articles about our sponsors and speakers.
## Keynoter confirmed
Our keynote this year will be presented by David Both, who is an Open Source Software and GNU/Linux advocate, trainer, writer, and speaker. He has been working with Linux and Open Source Software since 1996 and with computers since 1969. He is a strong proponent of and evangelist for the “Linux Philosophy for System Administrators.” With his wealth of experience and expertise, he'll be bringing us thoughts on the Linux Philosophy as it applies to developers and system administrators. Be sure to join us for his talk!
## Hotel registration open now!
Our conference hotel is the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, on Woodruff Rd in Greenville, SC. We have about half of the hotel reserved in our block, which is now open for registrations.

## CFP open now!
