YAPC::Europe::2004

Time-slots for Talks

The following time slots are available:

Standard: 20 minutes: This is the preferred format. It is expected that the majority of talks will be of this length.
Long : 40 minutes: Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a double-slot may be available. However you should also consider splitting it into two standard talks (perhaps an introduction and a more advanced talk).
Tutorial: 3 hours (including break): Half-day tutorials. These tutorials tend to cover a wide range of material on a certain aspect of Perl programming. For example, an XML tutorial could cover XML basics, to writing XML, to parsing XML, to practical uses of XML.

Conference organisers reserve the right to change the length assigned to a talk, if deemed appropriate.

Perl For Profit

YAPC::Europe 2004 will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from Wednesday 15th to Friday 17th September.

Our theme will be 'Perl for Profit', so we would encourage you to think of how you have used Perl to make or save money. As previous YAPCs have deviated from their theme, we would also encourage you to use a definition of 'profit' that suits you.

YAPC is an inexpensive conference designed by and for Perl users. YAPC began in the USA, but it is now a series of conferences in different parts of the world.
