(MyHostNews.com) Registration is now open for the sixth annual MySQL Conference & Expo.  Co-presented by MySQL AB and O’Reilly Media, the conference will take place April 14-17, 2008, in Santa Clara, California. The event is expected to bring together over 1,600 open source and database users from some of the most exciting and fastest-growing companies in the world, as well as from the large and active MySQL Community.  The program for 2008 will include keynote presentations by Jacek Becla of Stanford Linear Accelerator and MySQL CEO Marten Mickos.

The four full days of keynotes, sessions, tutorials, expo hall, and networking social events will allow participants to both learn and share MySQL database knowledge in a relaxed but enthusiastic atmosphere.
