# Talks Accepted!
Many great speakers have already stepped forward to speak at the conference. As speakers accept their talks, we are posting their talks on the schedule (times and days yet to be confirmed) https://tprc.us/schedule/.
# Call for Presenters extended.
We still have room for more speakers. We have extended submissions to May 01, 2022, 18:00 UTC. You can submit your talk at https://tprc.us/speakers.
Whether this is your first time submitting a talk proposal or one of many you've proposed and presented, consider submitting your talk idea to us. Making a presentation at a national event is great for networking and experience!
Organizers who volunteer to be on our Talks Committee select the presentations at the conference. Generally, 3 to 4 simultaneous presentations (20 or 50 minutes long, including Q&A) on various technical topics throughout each main event day.
Not sure you are up for giving a talk but have a topic you'd like to learn more about at our event? Tweet [@PerlConferences](https://twitter.com/PerlConferences) using #TPRCHouston or email [admin@perlconference.us](mailto:admin@perlconference.us).
# Health and Safety
The safety of our attendees is a top priority for us. We've been away for three years. As we return to in-person conferences, we want to ensure everyone is safe. Houston has moved to [Level 2](https://covid-harriscounty.hub.arcgis.com/). We hope it will be at level 3 before the conference.
For your safety and the safety of other attendees, all speakers and attendees should be fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Masking policies may change to match county standards. [Visit our website](https://tprc.us/covid/) for more information.
# Be part of it all - Organizer spots open!
Planning for The Perl Conference in Houston is underway, and we need a few more hands! It's not too late to join us in planning this event! Openings are web design/content editor, speaking coordinator, outreach assistant, and more. Email [admin@perlconference.us](mailto:admin@perlconference.us) to volunteer. You can help frame the conference!
# Call for Sponsors!
A donation to The Perl Foundation contributes to the Perl Conference in Houston and aids our other outreach programs. Perl Foundation Sponsors will get recognition for supporting The Perl Conference and our regional Perl Workshops, beginner training initiatives, and 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 can 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.
We will provide sponsors of $500 or more a table at our sponsor expo and job fair.
