Startup Row
At YAPC::NA 2012 we’re thinking about stealing a feature from PyCon they call Startup Row. In their exhibit hall they give away booth space to feature some up and coming new companies.
There are a lot of new companies using Perl these days, like Parking Mobility, Social Flow, and Bluer. I even have a few of my own. I’m willing to bet there are a lot out there we just don’t know about.
Depending on the interest level and number of submissions, we’ll either add some booths to our Job Fair for this, or we’ll open a completely separate exhibit space for it.
If you’re interested in getting a free booth and some other exposure at YAPC::NA 2012, please fill out our Startup Row Application. Submission deadline is March 1, 2012.

My little part in the greater Perl world.
Nice to know there are startups using Perl, all I seem to hear lately is Python this and Rails that.
