The Perl Conference - formerly known as YAPC::EU - is the yearly meeting of Perl Mongers in Europe.
The Perl conferences started off as grassroots user meetings, with discussions among Perl Mongers, and has grown from there. The focus is on enjoying the ideas of others, discovering new concepts, and feeling the enthusiasm of fellow programmers in the Perl (5) and Perl 6 programming languages.

Our keynote speakers
Larry Wall
The Father of Perl & Perl 6
“The three chief virtues of a programmer are: Laziness, Impatience and Hubris.”
Damian Conway
Insane Regular Expressions
“Programming is a Dark Art, and it always will be. The programmer is fighting against the two most destructive forces in the universe: entropy and human stupidity. These are not things you can overcome with a 'methodology' or on a schedule.”
Ruth Holloway
Ruth is currently a Perl Developer at cPanel in Houston
“She spent a lot of her career (so far) serving the technology needs of libraries, and has been a contributor since 2008 to the Koha open source library automation suite.”
