Tis the season…for conferences to open their Call for Papers
One of the great things about being part of a vibrant community like the PHP Community is that there are a lot of great conferences happening around the world. Whether you just want to attend and learn or you want to speak and share, there are plenty of opportunities to get together and just talk tech.
Recently three conferences announced their Call for Papers. For those not familiar with he concept, the CfP is when the conference allows potential speakers to pitch ideas for talks they would like to present. In many cases, the conference will help offset the cost of travel to the conference and give a ticket in exchange for the session. Different conferences compensate speakers differently so make sure you know what to expect before you submit and get accepted. (BTW, for some tips on getting accepted, check out a blog post I wrote not long ago, Tips on how to get accepted as a speaker at a PHP conference)
So, for those interested in speaking, here are the three CfPs that have recently opened in the order of their closing dates.
