Conference

YAPC (Yet Another Perl Conference) has been the Perl conference of choice since the late 1990s, and is hosted each year on five different continents. YAPC North America is the original YAPC that started it all.

We host hundreds of attendees who come to hear over 100 talks across three days. We are primarily a social conference, and as such have a very community-driven down to Earth feel that make YAPC a joy to attend. As with all the best conferences the "hallway track", birds of a feather sessions (BOFs), and the people you meet are the reason most attendees come back year after year.

We provide a better breadth of accomodations and travel options than any other conference. Because we are a social conference, we have a spouses program to encourage you to bring your significant other along with you.

Pricing

  • Conference: $150, but if you register before May 1, 2012 you get the early-bird price of $100.

Venue Information

This is a map of the Lowell Center. The Lowell Center is one half of our meeting space for YAPC::NA 2012. Here you’ll find the registration desk, the main hall where we’ll hold the opening ceremonies, plenaries, and the lightening talks. In addition, the Lowell Center contains 100 hotel rooms if you choose to stay there.  Don’t worry, you don’t need to save this map now. We’ll provide you with one at the registration desk, and it will be posted on large billboards in the Lowell Center itself.
