Ok, the time is come to get ready for the Dutch PHP Conference. Wait, you didn’t think you just showed up and knowledge just magically flowed into your head did you? Nope, it does not work that way. You’ve got to prepare yourself, you’ve got to be ready to learn. Read Cal Evan's newest blog post and get yourself prepared for Dutch PHP Conference 2021!

"It’s an honor for me to be associated with DPC again. I’ll gladly stand in front of a camera for this this year, tell bad jokes between speakers and introduce those speakers to you." ‘’If you have never been to a PHP conference before, do yourself a favor and block off June 18th, 2021 and get yourself a ticket to DPC21.’’ Read Cal Evans' blogpost "Everything changes…even conferences"

We’ve got some DPC 2021 schedule changes and new announcements to share with you. First off, the 2-part workshop on Thursday June 17th, “Moving Forward with Legacy Code” (Matthias Noback) is unfortunately cancelled. The good news is that we’ve turned this into something positive: We are dedicating this time to one of the most important topics today: Diversity and Inclusion in Tech.

Welp, here I are staring at June 2021 on the calendar and know that one of my favorite PHP community events, The Dutch PHP Conference, is yet again going virtual. Yup, Yet Another Online Conference. (YAOC) Just another day of YAOC Shaving in a polo shirt and my pajama bottoms. Given the circumstances, YAOC is better than NCAL.

You are invited to join us at the DPC21 Online Edition for free. A few days prior to the event you will receive an e-mail with a link to the event platform. There you will be able to watch the live talks and interact with attendees from all over the world. Register now and reserve your virtual workshop seat on June 17 & free Conference seat on June 18, 2021.  

In addition to our online conference day, we are happy to also announce the pre-conference workshop day on Thursday June 17, featuring 4 workshops from Matthias Noback, Mike Lehan and Dave Stokes! The duration of the workshops is 3 hours and the number of virtual seats is limited. Buy your tickets now as seats are limited.

We proudly present the single track schedule of the Online Edition of Dutch PHP Conference 2021, full of high-level technical sessions. This conference will be hosted by Cal Evans. We are thrilled to host the DPC speakers who are willing to share their knowledge in this online format on Friday June 18th, 2021.

Now the Call For Papers is closed, we handpick a team of developers for the selection committee. The list of abstracts will be rated by each member in our rating tool on a scale of 1 - 10. The program master average up the ratings and do some manual review for statistical outliers. With this in hand, we begin making final picks. 

The call for papers is nearing its end (Februari 28th), and although we already received superb submissions we are always looking for more quality content. This will be your final chance to take the online stage at DPC in June, all you need to do is to fill out the CFP form. In return we offer an awesome online stage for selected speakers.

Speakers, the call for papers is now open! We’re looking for exclusive, high-quality, technical sessions from speakers who can cover advanced topics and keep our demanding audience inspired. Tutorials are 3 hours in length and the conference sessions 45 minutes. Read about content briefing and more at the CFP page. Lets start submitting!

Want to meet over 500+ developers and  like to show your support for PHP development, to make the conference an unforgettable experience? Do you think the company you work for fits this bill? DPC is welcoming sponsors and companies that like to show their support for PHP development and showcase their brand to the attendees. DPC offers several sponsor packages. 

Be prepared and start thinking of some interesting topics. The call for papers will open mid January 2021. We’ll be looking for high-quality, technical sessions from speakers who can cover advanced topics and keep our demanding audience inspired. We're very excited to start the preparations for the call for papers. Speakers get yourself ready!

The Dutch PHP Conference is very pleased to announce the dates for the 2021 edition: June 17 & 18, 2021! In light of health and safety recommendations we have decided like last year to set up an 100% online event. Traditionally we start with a pre-conference workshop day on Thursday June 17, followed by the main conference day on Friday June 18th.
