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.<\/p>\n<p>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 <strong>96<\/strong> session slots and <strong>16<\/strong> 3-hour tutorial slots. We got well over <strong>300<\/strong> proposals &#8212; I&#8217;m not even sure how to count them &#8212; and they just can&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p>Although titled &#8220;Percona Live&#8221;, this conference&#8217;s program is managed by a diverse and independent committee. We had good discussions and some very good thinking and advice were offered.
