Greetings, Racketeers!
Racket leadership has kicked off the planning for the next edition of RacketCon 2024. We are working on the precise dates -- we're looking at October (mostly likely the 5th and 6th) or possibly November -- but you can pencil in Seattle as the likely location. As soon as we have a firm confirmation for the date and location, we'll update this thread.
Sid, Stephen, and I have committed to help make this the best RacketCon ever - but we need your help to make this happen.
Please contact us if you are willing to pitch in, or if you have any special skills
We will gradually start the process of seeking out speakers. As with previous RacketCons, there will be a call for presentations. The planning committee will also start actively looking for potential speakers. We envision a 1.5 day event (Saturday and first half of Sunday), as usual for RacketCon.
Continuing with tradition, we'll also allow Racketeers to nominate a speaker. Nominated speakers will be considered by the committee and contacted.
We will also accept nominations for a potential keynote speaker.
Invited speakers will have their registration fees waived, but unfortunately we cannot offer transportation and lodging at this time.
We intend to make videos of the talks available on YouTube. Depending on the offer and cost of the video setup, we may be able to stream the event live, too.
If you are in industry (especially in the Seattle area) and think your company may be interested in sponsoring the event, please get in touch.
If there are any questions or concerns at all, feel free to write to us or use this thread.
Looking forward to seeing you there,
— The RacketCon 2024 organizers
