PowerOn Your Voice at Percona Live 2022 - Percona Database Performance Blog

Percona Live 2022 is comin’ in hot as May 16-18 draws near. This year, we will be supercharging open source conversations, community, and expertise by welcoming the best and brightest open source database users to Austin, Texas for three days of knowledge sharing.

Have a unique perspective on open source database tech? Percona Live attendees would love to hear it. Here’s the lowdown:

Three Different Session Types

• Breakout Session – Broadly cover a technology area using specific examples. Breakout sessions are 50 minutes to include time for Q&A.
• Tutorial Session – Blend the feel of a training class and a conference breakout session in a detailed and hands-on presentation on a technical topic. We encourage attendees to bring laptops to follow along. Tutorials will be three hours to include time for Q&A.
• Lightning Talk – Share a five-minute crowd-pleaser about a new idea, successful project, cautionary tale, or quick tip. Focus on a key takeaway that would interest the open source community, and consider giving a snappy demonstration. Think technical, lighthearted, and entertaining. You have five minutes to shine.

Some tips to make your proposal unforgettable:

• Offer a complete perspective in your proposal.
• Demonstrate your unique insights with a case study, a personal experience, or technical knowledge.
• Are there certain reasons that drive your use of open source databases?
• Did you just embrace open source databases this year? What motivated that move, e.g. ROI?
