The Xen Project has announced the sessions for the 2013 Xen Project User Summit to be held in conjunction with Linuxcon North America next month in New Orleans. This is the first time that the the Xen hypervisor team will be having a conference focused entirely on the users of the Xen hypervisor. 

Keynote Address: Xen: This is not your Dad's hypervisor!

Jay Williams, VP of Product Management for CA Technologies, will deliver the keynote address.  He will explain why Xen's strengths are critical for powering CA AppLogic and platforms like OpenStack.

Featured Talk: Free yourself from the tyranny of your cloud provider!

Greg Kroah-Hartman, maintainer of the stable branch of the Linux kernel (among a mass of other things), will discuss how using kexec in a paravirtualized user domain, with no changes to the control Domain or Xen itself, can allow you to boot your own kernel, no matter what the hosting provider is forcing you to run.
