This document summarizes the YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012 conference. It discusses changes from the previous year including a new venue and introducing LT-thon sessions. Over 800 people attended, more than expected. The speaker thanked sponsors, staff, and attendees for making the conference a success. Attendee numbers have grown significantly each year. The speaker hopes future YAPC::Asia conferences will be even more welcoming and bring greater awareness to the community.

I have a dream

25. YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012
... about the next
YAPC::Asia, and ones
afterwards...

26. YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012
... Should be the most
welcoming conference
YAPC has been, and should always be the
most welcoming conference for all types of geeks, old and new, Perl mongers or otherwise.
(only that talks have a hint of Perl, or its spirit :)

27. YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012
... Should be about technology,
and our love for it.
This should be a place where we talk about anything,
from the deepest magic and the most casual introduction to our art.
No religious in-fights, no mocking based on different tools or level of expertise.

28. YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012
... Could be held
ANYWHERE
Tokyo is a convenient place, but there s no reason why we can t have it elsewhere.
All it takes is a bit of dedication, and planning. Anybody can do it.

29. YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012
... Should be a place
where people can take a glimpse of
this GREAT community
I believe I m part of one of the greatest communities in the world.
This is the most welcoming, and yet the most edgy, geeky, realistic, cool bunch of people I know.
I want more people out there to know how you guys rock.

30. YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2012
YOU are what makes this
event YAPC::Asia
