            Strange Loop 2012
     St. Louis, MO - Sept 24-25, 2012
       Preconference - Sept 23, 2012
-----------------------------------------------------------

Strange Loop is a multi-technology conference exploring the ways in 
which software developers are creating systems that work at new scale,
provide new means of interaction, or create new ways of building systems.

Strange Loop typically covers topics like distributed systems, 
concurrency, mobile, web, and programming languages but it is open to a 
wide variety of ideas. Strange Loop is primarily focused on commercial 
users but also includes talks from the academic world, especially if they
are in areas that are impacting practice. 

For ideas of typical talks, see the list of 2011 talks at 

Registration is open now (early bird $375 till May 7th):

PRESENTATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------
The conference takes place on Mon Sept 24 - Tues Sept 25, 2012.  There is 
also an optional preconference day on Sun Sept 23 for paid workshops and 
the Emerging Languages Camp.

The conference Call for Presentations is open now for both 50 and 20 
minute talks. Strange Loop speakers (both 20 and 50 minute) receive free 
admission to Strange Loop, free hotel, and (for 50 minute speakers only)

Hi Alex,

If we sign up for the early bird but then get a talk accepted or volunteer, can that payment be returned? I definitely want to go, but I don't want to take a chance missing it because I think I'll be volunteering or giving a talk. CodeMash sold out in less than 30 minutes so I'm thinking of doing the early bird but still try the other 2 options to help out in some way with the conference.

Yes.  

Strange Loop is currently about 1/3 sold.  It will sell out, but right now I think it will be after the CFP ends.  If it gets tight before the CFP closes, I plan to suspend registration and give unaccepted speakers a chance to register.  If you register now and get accepted, then I will refund the cost.

I think it would be safest to just register and take the refund if I get accepted as a speaker or volunteer. Then I don't risk the chance of missing out.
