We can't wait to see everyone in person at the 2022 Perl and Raku Conference June 21-25 2022! You can expect to see a lot of presentations on Perl, Raku, and supporting languages. Core presentation topics in the past have included Perl 5 and Raku. Organizers are hopeful to continue with a core of Perl 5 and Raku moving forward. It’s worth noting that this event is run by volunteers and talks are also given by volunteers. The presentations at the conference are being submitted now during our Call For Presenters (CFP) and will be selected by organizers who volunteer to be on our talks-committee. Generally, there are sets of 3 to 4 simultaneous presentations (20-50 minutes long) on a variety of topics throughout each main event day. Surrounding the main conference days, master-class tutorial sessions (half day and full day format) are offered for an additional fee. If you see **#TPRCHouston** around on social media, that’s our tag for The Perl Conference in Houston. The website is live! There are still a few details we're filling in like how to book a room and of course the schedule, but there's still a bunch of information you can get by visiting https://perlconference.us ## Call for Presenters The call for presentations is open now!

You can help frame the conference! ## Call for Sponsors! A donation to The Perl Foundation not only contributes to the Perl Conference in Houston, but also aids our other outreach programs. Perl Foundation Sponsors will get recognition for supporting The Perl Conference as well as our regional Perl Workshops, beginner training initiatives, and our grants programs for an entire year. Donating directly to The Perl Foundation provides the most value for your sponsorship money. However, sponsors can also donate directly to The Perl Conference. Often the organizers are able to link a sponsor directly to an event at the conference (wifi, coffee break, etc.) where the cost of the event is in line with the donation amount. Sponsors of $500 or more will be provided a table at our sponsor expo and job fair. ## How to reach our organizers * Visit our website: https://perlconference.us * Follow us on Twitter: [@PerlConferences](https://twitter.com/PerlConferences) * Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theperlconference * Subscribe to the mailing list: https://perlconference.us/subscribe * Send any questions about The Perl Conference to [admin@perlconference.us](mailto:admin@perlconference.us).
