# Percona Live 2014 schedule released; BoF and Lightning Talks Call for Papers continues

MySQL community PerconaLive Speaking January 16, 2014January 16, 2014

The complete tutorial & session schedule for Percona Live MySQL Conference & Expo 2014 is released. This schedule offers both a sense of achievement as well as a sense of regret; for I believe the schedule is very good, and yet some good proposals had to be left out.

This is an inevitable result of a conference that is popular and receives far more proposals than can fit within the time frames. This conference offers 96 session slots and 16 3-hour tutorial slots. We got well over 300 proposals — I’m not even sure how to count them — and they just can’t all fit in. My sincere apologies to all those left out. A proposal of mine was just rejected yesterday from another conference; I can sympathize and empathize with all turned down.

As part of our interest in having a diversity of talks and speakers, we have promoted talks by less frequent speakers and newly presenting companies. We are happy to grow the community!

Although titled “Percona Live”, this conference’s program is managed by a diverse and independent committee. We had good discussions and some very good thinking and advice were offered. I’m happy to acknowledge and thank the committee members:

- Cédric Peintre, Dailymotion
- Giuseppe Maxia, Continuent
- Ivan Zoratti, SkySQL
- Jay Janssen, Percona
- Jeremy Cole, Google
- Laine Campbell, PalominoDB (now Blackbird, congrats!)
- Liz van Dijk, Percona
- Roland Bouman, Pentaho
- Tim Callaghan, Tokutek
- Todd Farmer, Oracle
- myself, Outbrain

Looking at the schedule I’m as always eager to attend many more sessions than I can; until I get more replicas of myself, It’s again down to choosing between multiple prominent talks at each time slot.

Thank you to all those who submitted a proposal! (It’s cool, just saying)
