    SELF - SouthEast Linux Fest is happening in a few weeks in Charlotte, NC.

    https://southeastlinuxfest.org/ Attendance can be free, though I think they suggest $50 for individuals, but if you like, they'll accept $500 or $5000, if your company is paying.

    June 7-9, 2024
    Sheraton Charlotte Airport
    Charlotte, NC

    It is always a great conference. If you cannot attend in person, there is the "Remote Attendee | $5 live streaming access".
