YAPC::Asia 2008 committee is pleased to announce that YAPC::Asia 2008 will happen on May 15-16th 2008 at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Attending to the conference will cost 4000 JPY (we're planning academic discount) including our original schwag bag. We'll make the payment system ready around March 1st when you can pay the conference using PayPal credit card transaction.

We're also announcing Call For Presentations and early registration today.

We are looking for 20 and 40 minutes presentations. Register the conference and submit your proposals via the web form. Make sure you include a title for your presentation, an abstract, a language of the talk (English or Japanese), and the amount of time that you think you will need for the presentation. Feel free to submit multiple proposals if you want to increase your chance to speak.

The deadline for the submissions is February 25th, 2008. We'll make a call for Five minutes Lightning Talks in late April, when the conference gets close.
