What is YAPC?

YAPC is "yet another Perl conference", with apologies to The Perl Conference. This is an inexpensive, grassroots Perl conference with its roots in the Perl Mongers Perl users groups, and is supported by Yet Another Society.

YAPC began as a smaller, regional version of TPC in the Eastern USA, hosted by Carnegie Mellon University. Last year,YAPC::Europe was held in London, UK, the first European Perl Conference. This year the North American YAPC was held in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

The second European YAPC is being held for the first time on continental Europe in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and is being hosted by the Amsterdam Perl Mongers.
