I have never been to a YAPC (EU or otherwise) - what usually goes on at them?

YAPC Europe gives 'themes' but what actually do people talk about? Is it all talks? What is the pitch of the talks? i.e. are they specific "The use and buse of MooseX" etc...) or general "Perl as scientific glue" ( Lincoln Stein ). How much 'networking' and job-mongering goes on?

Sorry for all the questions, and if there are better links than the ones I got from google, then point me towards them!

Just a something something...

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
