PHPNW Call for Papers Opens

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

PHP North West has opened its call for papers for the 2009 event.  Following on from a successful debut last year, the conference is scheduled for Saturday October 10th 2009.  We’re looking for sessions of 30 or 60 minutes which cover pretty much anything of interest to PHP developers, managers, freelancers or entrepreneurs, with particular emphasis on topics which are useful in a team context.

The speaker package includes the speaker’s dinner, a conference pass, and 2 nights accommodation, but doesn’t include travel expenses since this is a predominantly local event.  If you can get to Manchester and you have something to share – then please submit!
