New to Perl? Come to The Perl Conference in Orlando for only $50.

Perl is a thriving language backed by an active community that continues 
to grow daily as newcomers discover what the language has to offer. The 
Perl Conference (also affectionately referred to as “YAPC::NA 
<http://yapcna.org>”) is the premiere North American event featuring 
training, workshops, hackathons for all things Perl and for all skill 
levels.

If you are new to Perl and have never attended YAPC before, The Perl 
Foundation is pleased to announce a very special welcome gift for a few 
lucky individuals. If this is your first time, you could join the Perl 
community at YAPC::NA::2016 in Orlando, Florida June 19th through 22nd 
for only $50.

*Here’s what your $50 will get you: *

  * Free admission to the main conference event, including all track
    talks, all keynotes, and some fun social events. (Regular ticket
    price is $250).
  * Free hotel accommodations June 19, 20, and 21 (The lowest room rate
    is $119/night)
  * Free Zero to Perl 5 Beginner Class. (Regular ticket price is $75).

That’s over $650 worth of YAPC for only $50!

The YAPC::NA Website has a full conference schedule and description:

Q: What’s the fine print?

A: There is some fine print, and there are only a few spots available. 
Please read http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/newbies.html for all the 
details, and get your request in by April 10th, 2016 12:01:00 AM EST by 
mailing admin at yapcna.org <mailto:admin at yapcna.org>.

Q: What if I don’t win?

A: If you are a student or active or retired military and are not 
selected for this program, you may still be eligible for a scholarship 
to attend YAPC (hotel and Zero to Perl class not included) for $50.
