I had a blast at this year's PHP UK Conference. There were some amazing sessions and interesting people to talk to. Together with Hannes, I even started a little hobby project.
If you weren't able to attend, you'll be glad to know that all talks were recorded and are available now on YouTube.

Thys Feryn, one of the organisers of the PHPBenelux conference, wrote a lengthy article about what it takes to organize a big conference.
The PHPBenelux Conference edition 2016 took place last week in Antwerpen (Belgium). As an organizer, I’m really happy with the end result. I like to think that our attendees, speakers and sponsors also enjoyed it. It’s the 7th time we organize the PHPBenelux Conference and every year we try to introduce something new. Although the 7 years of experience and the well-organized crew have made it a lot easier to organize, it’s still a lot of work.This post gives you a behind the scenes look at what it takes to organize the PHPBenelux Conference. It will reflect our passion, our strengths and our weaknesses.

This Friday the PHP Benelux Conference will kick off. It has an excellent line up and I'll probably blog about the sessions I will see there.
Last year the keynote of the conference was given by Yitzchok Willroth aka Coderabbi. He emphasizes on the power of the community. It was a great talk, I even dare to use the word "inspirational". In the weeks and months after his talk numerous PHP user groups were formed in my home country, Belgium. I believe this was no coincidence.
A few days ago a video of this talk (given at another conference) was published. You can watch it below.
Beau Simensen gave a good overview of PSR-7 at the recent PHP North West conference.

Anthony Ferrara gave a excellent "state of php"-talk at php[world].
PHP is experiencing a renaissance; old methodologies are everywhere under assault from advances in tooling and design. From Composer to HackLang, "the PHP way" of solving problems is dramatically evolving. Walls between projects are falling; interoperability and collaboration are happening on levels never thought possible. What do these accelerating changes mean for the future of the language? What might PHP8 look like? How will our communities continue to collaborate and evolve? And most pressing: what steps can we take to ensure PHP's continuing vibrancy in the face of future technical challenges?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWTe-iswnqc

The PHP UK Conference had a great schedule this year. Most sessions were recorded and are now available on YouTube. Happy viewing!
Matthew Setter went to the rabbi.
I don’t have a specific conference in mind, but I’ve given myself the next 12 months. I think that’s a practical and realistic amount of time, yet still short enough to not lose sight of.http://www.matthewsetter.com/path-first-php-conference-talk/
