Hi everyone!
The Early Bird rates for the 2017 php[tek]
conference here in Atlanta in May are ending this Saturday, February
18th. You have less than
12 hours left to get the biggest savings
possible for the conference. Our 10%-off user group discount is still
eligible before and after the early bird, so don't forget to use the
code "UG-LOVE-ATLPHP" when you register.
You can see the schedule of sessions and speakers at
https://tek.phparch.com/schedule/.
There will be some pretty big names and well-known people in the global
PHP community there, so you shouldn't miss the chance to hear their
talks and to meet them in the "hallway track" and at the after-parties.
(And I'm happy to make introductions!) Also, note there are training day
sessions for Laravel, Docker, security, and deployment topics, as well
as half-day workshops on many other topics as well.
If you
haven't been to a conference before, it's tough to convey how great they
are and how much they benefit your career, but once you go to one, I
think you'll be hooked. You can learn so much in a short time and make
connections literally from around the world. It's really a no-brainer to
attend php[tek] since the conference is right here in town, thus you
don't need a flight, hotel, and so on. Local turn-out is pretty
important to keep the conference in Atlanta too, so hopefully you'll
consider attending.
Hope to see you there!
