The teams at php[architect] and One for All Events are excited to announce we have opened up our Call for Speakers for the 4th annual edition of php[world].
This year we are refactoring php[world] into a more focused PHP conference concentrating on providing our attendees deep-dive content which teach core lessons about PHP. We also want talks covering advanced topics in applications and frameworks built in PHP (such as Drupal, WordPress, Laravel, Symfony, and Magento). We encourage submissions on technologies crucial to modern Web development such as HTML5, JavaScript, and emerging technologies. Ideas surrounding the entire software life cycle are often big hits for our attendees. Finally, we do welcome non-technical proposals that will appeal to a developer audience.
This year it will be a 2-day conference with concurrent workshops, preceded by two days of training classes. We've also updated our comprehensive speaker's package this year to simplify it; we will be offering:
Don't hesitate, the Call for Speakers is only open until June 23rd, 2017. So get those submissions in soon, we look forward to hearing from you!

We are glad to announce that we’ll be organizing the 11th edition of the Dutch PHP Conference, which will be held in Amsterdam from June 29th to July 1st 2017. Thursday 29th will be the tutorial day and June 30th and July 1st will be the main conference days. DPC brings together the best speakers and PHP, Javascript and front-end talent from Europe and beyond for three days of high-level technical sessions. Our schedule is already online and features a variety of talks on PHP, DevOps, Security & privacy, microservices, JavaScript, databases and much more; so come along to our two main conference days on June 30 and July 1 in Amsterdam.
In-depth tutorial sessions
The tutorial day on Thursday June 29 at the same venue gives an opportunity for a smaller number of attendees to
spend some time with an expert, going in-depth on particular topics - topics like Docker, domain modelling, Mob
programming, ES6, Drupal8, Progressive Web Apps and more are all on offer. These are small groups so that
presenters can respond to individual questions, and as a result places are limited.
