There’s just one week to go before the first of this year’s Percona University events in South America. We’re really pleased with the lineup for all three events. We’re also incredibly happy with the response that we have had from the community. While we realize that a free event is… well… free… you are still giving up your time and travel. We place great value on that and we’re making sure that you’ll be hearing quality technical talks from Percona and our guest speakers. Most of the talks will be presented in Spanish – Portuguese in Brazil – although slides will be made available in English.
In fact, the events have been so popular that it’s quite possible that by the time you read this we’ll be operating a wait list for Montevideo (Tuesday April 23), Buenos Aires (Thursday, April 25), and São Paulo (Saturday, April 27).
A request…
So that others don’t miss out on this (rare!) opportunity, if you have reserved a place and can no longer attend, please can you cancel your booking? You can do that after logging into your eventbrite (or MeetUp) account.
After all… we want to make sure that these events are so successful that our CEO, Peter Zaitsev, will find the idea of returning to South America to present at a future series of events completely irresistible.
To wrap up this blog post, let me mention that for the Montevideo event, we’ll have some guest speakers from other companies, to make the content even better; and remember there is a raffle at the end, in which you can get a signed copy of the High Performance MySQL book signed by Peter himself (and other goodies to be discussed ;)).
Looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday!
