Many people spent countless hours putting out feelers and soliciting bids. In particular, we would like to give a huge thanks to the DC/Baltimore Perl Mongers and the Detroit Perl Mongers: their efforts were invaluable in this process, and we hope that we can eventually bring YAPC::NA to their fantastic cities.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">It is with great enthusiasm that we happily announce YAPC::NA 2016 will be held Sunday, June 19th through Friday, June 24th at the Downtown Doubletree Hotel in Orlando, Florida! </span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline;" class="">The main event will run from Monday, June 20th through Wednesday, June 22nd.
