Most people go on vacation or take a break during the summer vacation, we at PHPBenelux DON’T !

Next Wednesday we’re organizing another lovely PHPBenelux User Group meeting. This time we’re hosting it in Brugge (or Bruges for those who don’t speak Dutch).

I’ll give you 6 reasons to attend:

1. Because PHP & PHPBenelux are cool
2. Because it attracts PHP experts
3. Because Brugge is an awesome city
4. Because there will be interesting talks by interesting speakers
5. Because we’re giving away some nice gifts/goodies
6. Because there will be free drinks and a great opportunity for socializing/networking

The PHP conference season is reaching its climax with the many events taking place in autumn.

I personally love conferences, it’s the perfect mixture of geekiness, knowledge sharing, networking and socializing. Everyone has his reasons for attending.

The day after a PHP conference is the day you are most excited about PHP and the community. This statement also applies to me: I am very excited about PHP and the community after a fantastic PHPBenelux Conference (aka phpbnl10).

The enthousiams for me is even greater because for the first time I assisted in organizing a conference. In fact it’s the first time this conference is organized.

That’s right, the title says it all: we’re having another BugHuntDay. After the success of the previous one, we (PHPBenelux) decided to host another one. Last time around it was all about Zend Framework. This time we feel that we should dedicate some attention to the Symfony framework.

To be perfectly honest, we were discussing it for a while, but we didn’t reach the planning stage. That was until the kind people at Intracto decided to take the lead. I knew they were pretty fond of Symfony, but now they decided it was time to give back to the community by sponsoring and hosting the event.

The event takes place Saturday November 14th at Frame21 in Herentals. More details can be found on the PHPBenelux website. You can still register for this event and we kindly invite you to do so by filling up the following form.

This blog post will assist you in preparing for the actual event. You shouldn’t be a rocket scientist to participate. A good knowledge of PHP and an open mind will get you a long way.
