For those of you who haven't heard yet, this year Zend will be hosting the first annual Zend/PHP Conference and Expo in San Francisco this year. I can say from experience that this conference promises to be significantly different then other conferences on PHP technologies. To me the biggest difference is the speaker list which reads like a who's who of not just PHP technology but the Internet as a whole:
- Rod Smith - VP of Internet Emerging Technology, IBM
- Marc Andreessen - Cofounder, Netscape
- Ken Jacobs - VP of Product Strategy, Oracle
- Jon Bork - Director of Open Source Program Office, Intel
- Adam Bosworth - VP of Development, Google
Of course many of the PHP favoriates in the conference ring such as myself, Andi Gutmans, Zeev Suraski, and more will be there as well.
If you go to one conference this year on PHP technologies, I can honestly say I think this is going to be one of the best. Short of OSCON I have not seen a conference which has so many awesome PHP-specific presentations coupled with some of the biggest names in the Internet Technology arena.
