Support GopherCon
Let's face it, two conference cancellations have not been kind to us and we're not too proud to ask our community for help. If you have the funds available to support the continuation of our conference, either in addition to the purchase of a conference ticket or in lieu of a purchase, we'd appreciation your contribution.
What Every Gopher Needs to Know!
Call for Papers/Programming
GopherCon's Call for Papers opened at the beginning of December and closed January 10th. We're excited to share that we received over 160 submissions! We're happy to announce our program has been officially decided and can be found on the Agenda page. We hope you are as pleased with this year's line-up as we are!
The Call for Papers for 2021 will open December 1, 2020. We will post a link on Twitter.
Pre-Conference Workshops
A Pre-Conference Workshop Ticket is only valid on Monday, November 9th or Tuesday, November 10th, with the exception of the two-day pre-conference workshops that will be offered over the course of both days.
The purchase of a Pre-Conference Workshop Ticket does not include access to the full conference, Wednesday, November 11th - Friday, November 13th, or vice versa. If you wish to attend the full conference, please purchase a Community Ticket or one of the two Promo Tickets listed below in addition to your Pre-Conference Workshop Ticket(s).
Furthermore, based on the feedback of some of our experienced teachers, we have determined that 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. EST is the best time to offer a Pre-Conference workshop to ensure the largest "live" audience. However, if you are located in a "challenging" time zone or you would like to attend more than one workshop, we will be recording the presentations and emailing them to ticket holders.
Which Ticket Should You Choose?
If you have the means and you are able to support the conference, please consider the One-Time 20% Promo or One-Time 20% Promo, plus Perpetual 10% Promo outlined below. Otherwise, the Community Ticket is a separate purchase from any Pre-Conference Workshop Tickets.
Scholarships
GopherCon awards a limited number of Diversity Fund Scholarships each year to golang users in need. Though we are looking for diversity in both areas of gender and race, we absolutely consider need as well. The scholarship submission process opened at the beginning of December and closed January 8th. We are pleased to announce that we received over 170 applications this year and awarded 47 scholarships! All applicants have been notified of our decision.
Refund Policy
We offer full refunds on or before Friday, October 16th at 11:59 p.m. EST. No refunds will be offered after this point in time. In the event you need to cancel after October 16th, you may transfer your ticket to someone else. To do so, open your confirmation email and select "Manage Registration Details". Remember that ticket sales support the viability of the conference this year, so we thank you in advance for your understanding.
