Run by volunteers from the London Perl & Raku community, LPW will have talks about Perl, Raku, and other languages, technologies, and topics.

LPW is an inclusive event and we would love to have you attend, whether this is your first time learning about Perl or Raku, or your 18th workshop. We encourage attendees and speakers of any age, background or circumstance, and we are open to receiving proposals for talks on any subject you think your fellow attendees will find interesting.

Further news will be posted here and to our feed.

We have a large room for the main track, and a breakout room for ~15 people that is available for smaller sessions, BOFs, hackathons, etc. Submissions for use of that room is also open.

We would like to encourage people to register in advance, to make it easier to access the venue and to give us an idea of numbers.
