We are excited to announce MariaDB’s annual user conference, M|18, will take place February 26-27, 2018 in New York City at the Conrad Hotel. Over the course of two days, we’ll cover in-depth looks at security, high availability, performance tuning and more with MariaDB, how to run your database on cloud and/or container infrastructure, new functionality for developers like JSON and window functions, plus tons more.

The MariaDB M|18 call for papers is now open! If you are a leader in your space with expertise in operations and/or development and would like to share your knowledge with a global MariaDB audience, we invite you to submit a proposal to speak. We’re interested in the challenges you’ve faced, the lessons you’ve learned, and the best practices you’ve developed – use cases, success stories and strategies too.

If you’ve been in the trenches and led the way forward, submit a session proposal for one of the following tracks to share your experience with MariaDB:

Technology: the latest product and community innovations
Examples: extensions, features, plugins, storage engines

Infrastructure: a foundation for modern database deployments

Development: building modern applications with new features

Submitting a proposal is easy. Gather your talk title and abstract, then submit it here by October 31, 2017. We will contact you in by mid-December once proposals have been reviewed and the agenda finalized.
