Welcome! It’s our pleasure to announce the next edition of php|tek, which will take place in Chicago, IL, between May 25 and 27, with a tutorial day on May 24.

Our Call for Papers is now open; we will be accepting submissions until December 17th—after which our conference committee will hole up in their secret air-conditioned underground lair to prepare next year’s schedule.

We welcome submissions from everyone—even if you have never spoken at a conference before. Some of our best presentations have come from first-time speakers, so it never hurts to try.

We have also made some improvements to our Speaker Package; we now cover all transportation costs, and we doubled the room-night allowance for all speaking slots.

We look forward to seeing you there!
