It took two months to review the sessions and finalize the schedule. There were very good submissions, and it wasn&#8217;t till I started building the schedule that I realized just how many.<\/p>\n<p>You know the feeling: you&#8217;re at a conference, and there&#8217;s this time slot where you just can&#8217;t make up your mind which session to attend. As it turns out, anyway I look at it, I get this at each and every single time slot in this schedule. Hopefully all attendees should feel similarly.<\/p>\n<h4>What can you expect to find in the Santa Clara, April conference?<\/h4>\n<p>As always, we get variety of topics. First day is tutorials, which I already <a href=\"http:\/\/code.openark.org\/blog\/mysql\/percona-live-2013-tutorials-schedule-released\">mentioned<\/a>, followed by three days of sessions and keynotes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some topics you can guess: always place for good backup practice, performance optimizations for your InnoDB deployment, good indexing strategies and more.<\/li>\n<li>Open source and emerging technologies are well covered: from Tungsten, Galera\/Percona XtraDB Cluster, NDB Cluster to MHA, HAProxy, Hadoop, Percona Toolkit and more.<\/li>\n<li>MariaDB has good coverage, as well as Percona Server.<\/li>\n<li>Scale topics such as sharding, building large deployments,Big Data.<\/li>\n<li>Cloud is well represented, too. Deployments on Amazon, Google Cloud, OpenStack, SkySQL Cloud Data Suite; interesting content on virtualization.<\/li>\n<li>Optimizer, better queries, query evaluation plans.<\/li>\n<li>Replication, of course, is as always a hot topic, this year in particular due to anticipated 5.6 release<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of 5.6, a lot of content on that, too. PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA, InnoDB, partitions, GIS and more&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Case studies: can you do without them? Get to hear how big companies used product\/project X, what it took to make it work, how it helped them grow.<\/li>\n<li>Chance to get up to speed on third party solutions: Akiban, Tokutek, ScaleDB&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Hardware: SSDs are all the rage. How do you nest choose and configure your hardware and deployment?<\/li>\n<li>Best practices, security, monitoring, NoSQL&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>And, I can&#8217;t list everything, but a LOT of good, unique content!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will write some more on specific sessions I find that are of unique interest.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this is my first time acting as committee chairman, and so much of this work was new to me, and I got to learn it on the fly. Thankfully, the committee is composed of experienced conference veterans, not to mention experts, who gave good advice. I was happy to ask for their advice and happy to accept. I wish to thank the committee members for their kindness and openness!
