We're proud to announce that the first NixCon North America event will be co-located with SCaLE 21x at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, CA on March 14th and 15th, 2024. We invite you to share your work on projects using Nix/NixOS and introduce new Nix users to the community.
The conference will consist of two days:
Day 1: Workshops. We'd like this to be an opportunity for new users and the Nix-curious alike to gain valuable experience using Nix to solve their problems. This is also an opportunity to get help and advice from experienced Nix users, which can be incredibly helpful when you're getting started with Nix. Workshops will be 90-minutes each, and we plan to have multiple workshops running in parallel so that there's a wide variety of topics for attendees to choose from at any point in time.
Day 2: Talks. What's a conference without talks? Talks will be given in a single track, and each talk will be 25 minutes. Again, we'd like this event to be accessible for those with little or no Nix experience, so we welcome introductory level talks that teach or explain Nix concepts that new Nix users struggle with.
As part of the submission process you will indicate whether you're submitting a proposal for a talk or a workshop. You are welcome to make as many submissions as you like to either or both categories.
