Call for Papers update
The DPC Call for Papers closed last night and the submissions have been outstanding in both quality and quantity! We had 66% more submissions than last year and our panel are now working hard on evaluating the sessions to build an excellent schedule. While that happens we thought we would share some statistics of where in the world our talks came from:
| Country | Talks |
|---|---|
| Belgium | 9 |
| Brazil | 4 |
| Canada | 17 |
| China | 3 |
| Czech Republic | 1 |
| Finland | 1 |
| Germany | 36 |
| India | 3 |
| Netherlands | 21 |
| Spain | 1 |
| UK | 33 |
| USA | 55 |
With plenty of great submissions from across Europe and further afield, this year's DPC promises to be better than ever - tickets are still on sale at the cheapest "blind bird" prices, so called because they are only available until the schedule is published so you have to buy before you can see exactly which sessions are included. We hope to see you in Amsterdam in June!
Inspiration for last-minute CFP submitters
If you plan to submit to our call for papers, this video might give you some inspiration; it covers some of last year's high tech content:

Tickets available - big blind bird discounts!
In previous years, we always had 'early bird' discount on our DPC tickets. This year, we'll have early bird discounts as well, but we're adding an extra level of discount. Since the schedule isn't available yet (our Call for Papers is still running), we're launching the ticket sales with a 'blind bird discount'. For those of you that know that whatever the schedule is, DPC10 is going to be awesome anyway.
For conference only passes this means a € 85,- euro discount, for the full conference the discount is a whopping € 150 euro!
As soon as a good portion of the schedule is known, we're moving to regular early bird discounts, so get blind bird discounts while you can!
Tickets can be purchased over here.
Call for Papers for DPC 2010 now open!
Good news! The Call for Papers for DPC (Dutch PHP Conference) 2010 is now open!
The event will be held in or around Amsterdam from 10th to 12th June 2010. Thursday 10th is tutorial day, and Friday 11th and Saturday 12th are our main conference days. We're looking for high-quality, technical sessions from speakers who can cover advanced topics and keep our demanding audiences entertained. Tutorials are 3 or 6 hours in length (note that 6 hours is our preference) and the standard conference sessions should be 45 minutes.
This year we're excited about many different topics, perhaps the best way to describe it is to say that if its related to PHP and you are excited about, then we want to hear it! It doesn't matter who you are, this event is all about the technologies. DPC has an established reputation as the best place to expand a developer's skill set and improve existing practice and that remains our focus for this year. In particular we'd like to receive proposals regarding emerging technologies, performance and scalability, platforms and best practices - so if you have an idea, please share it with us.
Submit as many talks as you like using our submission form, we'll ask for the title, a description of your session, and some information about you and why we should accept your session - this isn't published and its your chance to sell your session to us. If you are accepted we'll pay your travel costs, put you up in a hotel, and give you a pass to the conference so you can join us for the duration of this excellent event.
The call for papers is open until 31st January, so get the submissions coming!
Speakers and attendees will also be interested to hear that this year, DPC will include an unconference in collaboration with PHPBenelux! We're thrilled to include this in our packed schedule for the first time; an entire section of the conference will be driven by the attendees at the event itself - and we can't wait to see what you come up with ...
Your host this year,
Lorna Jane Mitchell
Organizer
Ibuildings - the PHP professionalsBlind bird discounts!
The Call for Papers for this year's conference has now closed. While our selection committee evaluates all proposals there are still tickets at the special Blind Bird Discount! Once the schedule is up, this discount will be dropped, so if you want to be at the conference regardless of the schedule, now's your chance to get tickets at a very low price.
