Finally after waiting a few years, the PHP conference 2007, held in Amsterdam, is on a date (16th June 2007) where it’s possible to me to join this important PHP event without to cancel my vacation.
The Conference this year is first time organized by the Dutch Zend partner “Ibuildings.nl” and has a very “heavy” agenda:

• Trends (Object orientation, mash-ups…)
• Frameworks (Zend framework, Symfony, ATK)
• Databases (Oracle, stored procedures in MySQL 5)
• Enterprise Solutions (diff. show cases)

OK, you can’t follow all this stuff in several hours. Thats why you have to choose from three presentations from every block. I hoped to meet some of the founders of PHP or Zend, but this year I have to listen to speakers like Cal Evens, Derick Rethans and some others…
