Kia Ora!
We are excited to announce the New Zealand PHP Conference 2014, taking place on 28-29 August 2014 with a pre-conference tutorial day on 27 August. The event will be held at Victoria University Business School, the Pipitea Campus in the heart of the vibrant and energized city of Wellington – often called the coolest little capital in the world.
The conference will be one of the major IT events to happen in the region this year. The attendees will include developers, industry leaders, and PHP fans from New Zealand, Australia, and the global community of PHP.
A Conference That Inspires and Challenges
The New Zealand PHP Conference 2014 has two simultaneous tracks and over 22 in-depth sessions. The sessions delve into PHP trends, web technologies, and industry standards. Four to six international and local expert speakers on the topics of the future of PHP and web development will share their insights.
On Wednesday, 27 August, the tutorial day will be held. These workshops will give developers an opportunity to soak in specific topics, acquire practical skills, and have close interaction with national and international experts.
