ZendCon 2012 Call for Papers is Now Open

We are happy to announce that planning is underway for the 2012 Zend PHP Conference, to be held in Santa Clara, October 22-25, 2012. ZendCon 2012 will be the best conference yet and we would like to invite you to be a part of it!

A conference is only as good as its speakers and we are looking for the best speakers to share their knowledge and expertise with the PHP community. Attendees will include developers, architects, development managers, decision makers, core PHP developers and community members.

The key themes for this year’s ZendCon are:

• PHP in 2012
• Zend Framework 2
• Development & The Cloud

As always, we are open to ANY new and unique content. Submissions will be accepted for both 3 hour tutorials and 60 minute sessions; and please do submit more than one talk if you have a lot to say.

Within the themes, there are several topic areas that we believe would be beneficial to the attendees.

• Application and infrastructure best practices/case studies
• Testing, debugging, profiling and QA
• Framework-based development
• Zend Framework 2
• Cloud-based services and cloud-based development
• Server and cloud-based infrastructure
• RIA, mobile and browser
• Databases, storage and data modeling
• Security
• Unsung Tools
• Agile processes and project management
• PHP on the IBM i

Accepted speakers will have round-trip airline travel arranged and paid for by S&S Media, the conference organizer. Speakers will also be provided a complimentary hotel room for 1 night and will receive an additional complimentary night for each presentation or tutorial given (up to a maximum of 6 nights).

The Call for Papers closes on May 21st, 2012, so start submitting now at www.zendcon.com/input.

Thank you for your participation. We are looking forward to an excellent conference.

Please contact me if you have any questions.
