Sponsored by the Tcl Association We are pleased to announce the 20th Annual Tcl/Tk conference (Tcl'2013), sponsored by The Tcl Association, with help from:
Noumena Corporation , Digital Smarties , SR Technology, Buonacorsi Foundation, Mentor Graphics, and ActiveState .

Special Social Activites

The French Quarter has incredible options for amusing yourself ranging from the aquarium and museums to strip shows.

Special Guest and Keynote Speaker

Our Keynote Speaker is Karl Lehenbauer. Karl has been active with Tcl since the early days and has continued using Tcl and pushing Tcl to be a more useful tool. His need for better systems administration tools led to TclX, and his recent work with FlightAware has led to improvements in the Tcl Web tools.

Invited Talks

  • The (Active)State of Tcl
    Delivered by Tcl/Tk release manager Jeff Hobbs
    Jeff describes where we are now, and where we'll be soon.

Experts who have confirmed attendance

  • Clif Flynt: Author of Tcl/Tk: A Developer's Guide
  • Gerald Lester: creator of Tcl Web Services
