Each year, we try to bring to the event presentations which will inform, enlighten, and engage with the interests of users and developers. 2018 is no exception to this tradition.

This year, we have sessions on a wide range of topics, from effectively using Github to preserve code to latest happenings at Arca Noae and bww bitwise works, to tips and tricks to make your work go more smoothly.

This year's schedule allows plenty of time for small, informal, breakout sessions, too, so be sure to bring your questions - and your knowledge - to Calgary, September 14-16.

Joe Suttle will be our keynote speaker this year. Joe gave an outstanding talk in Orlando in 2016, and is engaging, entertaining, and most of all, knowledgeable of his subject matter.

Register for Warpstock today and be sure to catch Joe's keynote in Calgary.
