Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017 will take place April 24-27, 2017 at The Hyatt Regency Santa Clara and Santa Clara Convention Center.

Percona Live Open Source Database Conference 2017 is the premier event for the diverse and active open source community, as well as businesses that develop and use open source software. Topics for the event will focus on three key areas -- MySQL, MongoDB and Open Source Databases -- and the conference sessions will feature a range of in-depth discussions and hands-on tutorials.
The 2017 conference will feature four formal tracks -- Developer, Operations, Business/Case Studies, and Wildcard -- that will explore a variety of new and trending topics, including big data, IoT, analytics, security, scalability and performance, architecture and design, operations and management and development. Speaker proposals are welcome on these topics as well as on a variety of related technologies, including MySQL, MongoDB, Amazon Web Services (AWS), OpenStack, Redis, Docker and many more. The conference will also feature sponsored talks.
Breakout sessions are 50 minutes in length, including a Q&A. Tutorial sessions are focused on an immediate and practical application of in-depth knowledge, and are targeted at a level between a training class and a conference breakout session. Tutorial speakers should assume that attendees will have laptops to work through detailed and potentially hands-on presentations. Tutorials are typically three hours in length, including a Q&A, but submissions will also be accepted for full-day, 6-hour tutorials.
Selected speakers will receive a complimentary full conference pass.
