M|18 MariaDB User Conference Call for Papers—Now Open!

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.
