We are down to the last few days to buy your ticket for LCA2022, so we wanted to give you a quick update on what is happening this year. ## Conference Schedule As usual the conference will start with Miniconfs on Friday 14 January, followed by two days of main conference on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 January. This year we have four Miniconfs: GO GLAM meets Community, Kernel, Open Hardware, and System Administration. There will be over 30 sessions running at the Miniconfs, with talks specialised around the four topic areas. We then have 48 sessions to choose from across the two days of main conference talks on a range of topics related to open technologies. You can view the schedule at https://lca2022.linux.org.au/schedule/ today to start choosing which talks to attend. For those new to the conference, we welcome you to attend the Newcomers Session on Thursday evening from 5:30pm AEDT. This is a great way to learn about the history of the conference and find out how to make the most of attending your first LCA. ## Keynotes We are very excited to have four wonderful keynote presentations at linux.conf.au 2022. * Brian Kernighan - Friday morning * Kathy Reid - Friday evening * Jono Bacon - Saturday morning * Liz Fong-Jones - Sunday morning ## Special Guest for PDNS Our Professional Delegates Networking Session (PDNS) is open to all professional-level ticket holders, including Sponsors, Contributors, Professionals, and our wonderful Speakers.
