Call for Papers
GopherCon's Call for Papers was open Monday, January 16, 2023 – Monday, March 13, 2023. Our program is now live; check out our speakers and the agenda.
If you are already looking ahead to GopherCon 2024, the CFP will open Monday, January 15. Mark your calendars if you missed the opportunity to submit this year!
Which Ticket Should You Choose?
If you are paying your own way to GopherCon, please choose "Self Paid - General Admission". If your company is paying for your ticket, please choose "Corporate - General Admission". We are trusting our Go community members to choose honestly.
Pre-Conference Workshop Tickets
Based on attendees’ feedback, we are offering both half-day and full-day Pre-Conference Workshops at the conference on Tuesday, September 26th. Half-day workshops ($295) will give some Gophers the opportunity to learn about more than one subject, while also providing our budget-conscious attendees greater access to this day of learning. Our full-day workshops ($495) will be ideal for those who prefer to deep-dive into a subject.
A Pre-Conference Workshop ticket is only valid Tuesday, September 26th, and does not include access to the full conference, Wednesday, September 27th – Thursday, September 28th. If you wish to attend the full conference, please purchase a General Admission ticket in addition to your Pre-Conference Workshop ticket.
Student and Non-Profit Tickets
If you fall into one of these categories, you have access to conference tickets for $595, half-day workshop tickets for $225, and full-day workshop tickets for $375. If interested, please email us evidence of your status (i.e., student ID card or non-profit business card) and we will send you a promo code. Please be prepared to purchase your ticket(s); each promo link will have a 5-day use period, and we will not generate a second code if it is not used.
Group Ticket Discounts
The more gophers the merrier! We offer a 5% discount for groups of 5 - 9 attendees and a 10% discount for groups of 10+.
With this said, there are a few caveats to consider:
- The group discount does not apply to anyone who has already registered. If you think your company would benefit from a group discount, check in with your teammates before purchasing a ticket. We will not refund a purchased ticket, then issue a promo code.
- Promo codes for groups are available for the purchase of Self-Paid, Corporate, or Late Gopher General Admission, as well as Pre-Conference Workshop tickets.
- The Pre-Conference Workshop discount is based on the quantity of tickets you intend to purchase, not the number of attendees (i.e. If seven (7) people plan to attend multiple workshops totaling 10 or more, a 10% promo code will be issued.).
- Once you request your promo code, please be prepared to purchase your tickets; each promo link will have a 10-day use period, and we will not generate a second code if it is not used.
- If you are interested in a group discount, please email our team.
Scholarship Program
Gopher Academy awards a limited number of Diversity Fund Scholarships each year to golang users in need. Since we were unable to follow through with our obligation to the 2020 scholars due to the pandemic and some scholars were not able to join us last year, we will not be offering scholarships to new applicants for GopherCon 2023. We look forward to providing new scholarships to community members in 2024!
International Gopher Assistance
Need a letter of invitation? No worries, we've got you covered. Simply email us your legal name, job title, as well as your company name and address, and we'll take care of you.
Refund Policy
No refunds will be issued after Friday, August 25th at 11:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. In the event you need to cancel after that date, you may transfer your ticket to someone else. To do so, open your confirmation email and select "Manage Registration Details". You may also gift it to a gopher in need. If you are interested in this option, please email us. Remember that ticket sales support the viability of the conference, so we thank you in advance for your understanding.
