Join us for the O'Reilly Velocity Europe Conference in London
Share your expertise - submit your proposals now

The call for participation for the O'Reilly Velocity Europe 2013 conference is now open. Please join us in London, 13-15 November, as we examine the ideas, challenges, and concerns of those whose mission is to build a faster and stronger web.

Every year, we hear from attendees, speakers, and exhibitors that Velocity is an epic event—the single most important, must-attend event for web ops, devops, and performance professionals. It's the perfect intersection of brilliant minds and an around-the-clock focus on the crucial topics in this field. This year, we invite you to be part of it.

The Velocity Mission

We know you—and all Velocity participants—have a mission: pages need to load quickly, infrastructure has to scale efficiently, and sites and services must be reliable. Moreover, your organization needs to understand the business value of your mission and be willing to support it. And this needs to happen without burning out your team or breaking your budget

Velocity’s mission is to support you by zeroing in on the knowledge, technologies, and practical skills on which the success of your work depends.

If you have insights, knowledge, or practical experience in any of the themes we'll explore at Velocity Europe—please let us hear from you. If you focus on performance design, manage multiple data centers, or are expected to respond to crises with the agility of an HTTP acrobat, you're exactly who we're looking for.

Speaking at Velocity is a great way to share what you know with your peers, while getting projects, ideas, and your organization in front of a intelligent and connected audience.

We're accepting proposals through 23 May, 2013. For complete details, see the Velocity Europe Call for Participation page.
