The O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo is an interactive learning community—four days packed with connections to MySQL developers and open source experts who know their subject inside and out. You'll gain unique insights from speakers, vendors, project leaders, and other participants who are using MySQL to successfully run the world's most demanding applications, saving millions of dollars over proprietary software and hardware solutions.
At the O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo, you'll benefit not just from gathering with your peers and experts from a wide variety of companies and countries, but also by learning from some of the leading visionaries in the open source world. Join us April 11-14, 2011 in Santa Clara, California for the biggest and best MySQL event yet!
O'Reilly is committed to promoting diversity at O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo, and at all of our events.
Take advantage of this rare opportunity to meet face to face with a huge group of engineers who are working with MySQL in a variety of ways. Share ideas and network to solve some of your toughest questions. Bring your team, your laptops, and leave with new insights in how to build high performance scale-out applications using MySQL.
Fast-paced sessions, a handshake with your programming hero, late night hacking, a beer in the bar with someone you've only known via email—the O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo packs a wealth of big ideas, know-how, and connections into four concentrated days and nights. You'll be able to apply what you've learned immediately and be prepared for what the future brings.
The quality of the sessions and tutorials at the O'Reilly MySQL Conference & Expo is very high. Year after year, the most frequent comment the conference team receives from attendees is that it is sometimes very difficult to choose which great simultaneous session to attend. From novice to expert-level sessions, developer to DBA, business to technical, the sessions provide expert insight into solving architectural, design, and development issues your organization faces.
