The London Perl & Raku Workshop (LPW) is a free one-day technical conference in Central London, United Kingdom. This year LPW will celebrate its 20th year.
Run by volunteers from the London Perl & Raku community, LPW will have talks about Perl 5, 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 from people 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.
To attend is free, all you need to do is create a new user account or log in and then register.
London will be very busy at the end of October, so we encourage you to book travel and accommodation as soon as possible.
LPW is reliant on the generosity of our sponsors to run great community event at no cost to attendees. If you or your company would like to sponsor the London Perl & Workshop then please see our sponsorship information and do not hesitate to contact the organisers if you have any questions.
We also appreciate donations from attendees greatly.
This year's London Perl and Raku Workshop is just 4 weeks away. We now have a pretty full schedule, so the call for presentations is now closed, however we might have room for one or two more talks depending circumstances on the day. If you really think you have talk you want to give then get in touch.
As part of the workshop we would like to ask attendees if any are willing to volunteer for helping out on the day. This will likely include:
We are probably looking for three people to help out on the day. Please contact the organisers if you would like to help out.
The London Perl and Raku Workshop will take place on 26th Oct 2024. Thanks to this year's sponsors, without whom LPW would not happen:
The schedule for this year's London Perl & Raku Workshop is now visible: https://act.yapc.eu/lpw2024/schedule. Please please please (please please) make a point to mark those talks that you plan to attend as this will allow us to tweak the schedule a bit if some talks are more heavily favourited than others.
The venue opens for attendees at 9am and we plan to start talks at 9:30am. Drinks will be available throughout the day, hence no need to have dedicated breaks there. Lunch will be at midday for an hour, there are plenty of options close to the venue to grab something to eat. If we receive a couple more sponsors we can have lunch at the venue, but currently that won't be possible.
There are a couple of spots left for talks, otherwise the schedule is full. Please don't let this put you off submitting a talk as it's possible some speakers may have to change their plan.
You'll note that there are three "Open Sessions" in the The Study. This room can hold 15 people seating with room for a presenter. We can host a breakout, BOF, hackspace, whatever you suggest. There will be no recording facility in this room, but if no suggestions are made we will likely use it to schedule some of the remaining talks.

Hi All! Given the number of talks submitted to this year's London Perl & Raku Workshop we have decided to reserve a third room in the venue. This will give us a bit more room on the schedule for talks, which is good as the other two rooms are now 90% full.
However, we would also like to use this third room for something else. Its capacity is relatively low, 15 people including the person presenting, so we feel it might be suitable for use as a breakout room / mini hackathon(s) / birds of a feather; and we will probably reserve two large slots for this. If you have an idea of something you'd like to use the room for then please get in touch with us.
Another way we can make more space for talks is to opt for lunch at the venue, this will free up space for three more talks. To do that we need a couple more sponsors so if you would like to help with that then please have a look at the options here: https://act.yapc.eu/lpw2024/sponsoring.html
