Currently registration is free, there is no registration process.
Scheduled sessions for MySQL Camp can be seen at the MySQL Camp 2009 Sessions page.
On Sunday, April 19, 2009 from 12 noon until 12 midnight on the hotel mezzanine we will be having a game day. Play a game or just watch, and please bring your favorite game! People will drop in and out all day, so finding new and old friends to have dinner with will not be an issue. See the game day wiki page to look at the list of games and add any you want to see or know you can bring.
On Monday, April 20, 2009 from 8:30 am - 12 noon a hackfest will take place. Mark Callaghan of Google will lead folks through choosing a feature to add to MySQL, teach the important details about how to hack MySQL, and then much hacking will happen!
From 1:30 pm - 5 pm we will feature an Ask the Guru session, where leading MySQL experts will be on hand to answer your questions. Ask something broad or specific, about theory or an actual use case. Want someone to look over a database schema? Optimize a query? Want to know why a certain error is occurring? Bring your questions, or just come to listen.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, April 21-22, 2009 from 10:50 am until 6 pm there will be 6 sessions per day, at the same time as the MySQL Conference sessions.
On Thursday, April 23rd, from 10:50 until 3:35 pm, there will be 4 sessions, at the same time as the MySQL Conference sessions.
Unfortunately, during the keynote time slots on both days MySQL Camp will be closed. However, Camp attendees will be able to visit the Expo hall on Wednesday, to visit booths, get swag, for a nominal fee of $25.
