Categories: Community Created by Ron Hall
The third annual TYPO3 conference in North America (which is the 9th international TYPO3 conference overall) will take place: Thursday, June 9 - Saturday, June 11, 2011 on the bay in San Francisco, California, USA

It is our pleasure to invite you to the third annual North American TYPO3 Conference. This year’s conference will be held from Thursday, June 9 through Saturday, June 11 at the Fort Mason Center on the bay in beautiful San Francisco, California. Attendees will be given the opportunity to learn more about the TYPO3 content management system while connecting with other TYPO3 developers and users from around the world.

T3CON11-San Francisco will feature presentations on a variety of TYPO3 topics from high-profile TYPO3 community leaders from around the world. In addition, there will be half-day tutorials and a special Friday social event as well as opportunities for TYPO3 certification, a five minutes of fame session, “birds of a feather” meetings, and group troubleshooting sessions.

The conference’s call for speakers is currently open, and we want to encourage TYPO3 developers and users to submit abstracts before the January 15, 2011 deadline. We are interested in presentations that target both extension developers and site builders/admins on topics that include development with extbase and fluid, scaling TYPO3, integrating TYPO3 with external systems and third-party libraries, Typoscript and TSConfig, approaches to templating, TYPO3 best practices, and any other topic that could be of interest to the TYPO3 community. One speaker per accepted talk will receive free admission to the conference.

The conference will be held at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco, a former United States Army post located in the northern Marina District, alongside San Francisco Bay. While Fort Mason served as an Army post for more than 100 years, it is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the site of several cultural facilities. Moreover, it is a National Historic Landmark District with over 49 buildings of historic significance spread across 1,200 acres. We’re confident it will be a wonderful venue for T3CON11-San Francisco.
