What is Percona University?
It is a technical educational event. We encourage people to join us at any point during these talks – we understand that not everyone can take off a half a day from their work or studies. As long as you register – that’s essential.
What is on the agenda for each of the events?
Full agendas and registration forms for the Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and São Paulo events can be accessed at their respective links.
Does the word “University” mean that we won’t cover any in-depth topics, and these events would only interest college/university students?
No, it doesn’t. We designed Percona University presentations for all kinds of “students,” including professionals with years of database industry experience. The word “University” means that this event series is about educating attendees on technical topics (it’s not a sales-oriented event, it’s about sharing knowledge with the community).
Does Percona University cover only Percona technology?
We will definitely mention Percona technology, but we will also focus on real-world technical issues and recommend solutions that work (regardless of whether Percona developed them).
Are there other Percona University events coming up besides these in South America?
We will hold more Percona University events in different locations in the future. Our newsletter is a good source of information about when and where they will occur. If you’d like to partner with Percona in organizing a Percona University event, contact Tom Basil who leads our community team… or Lorraine Pocklington our Community Manager. You can also check our list of technical webinars to get further educational insights.
These events are free and low-key! They aren’t meant to look like a full conference (like our Percona Live series). Percona University has a different format. We make it informal, so it’s designed to be perfect for learning and networking. This is an in-person database community gathering, so feel free to come with interesting cases and tricky questions!
When the university will come to mumbai,india
Hi Manoj, thanks for your interest in Percona University. We have quite a few team members from Percona in India and it would be great to set up a local event. Do subscribe to our newsletter so you will be sure to hear about the event early, as I think if we can get it organized it will be VERY popular!
Hi, no meeting in Chile?
Hello Carlos, thanks for your interest in the Universities, but I’m sorry… not this time around. We have focused on the countries where we have a few team members as we need their help with local organization. Sorry to disappoint you.
