For the past four years, a group of enthusiasts have been organizing an unconference about PHP and related web technologies in Hamburg, Germany. What started off as a gathering of only fifty people, has grown over the course of three years into an event, which has received much following and attention within the German speaking PHP community. This year, 220 developers attended the two day unconference in the north of Germany, which attracted a large number of well known German speakers and authors.

After a succesful meeting last month in beautiful Brugge, it's time for a meeting in The Netherlands again! This month, our meeting is taking place in Rijswijk at the offices of Competa, this month's meeting sponsor. And it's not just any meeting. We've got something really special for you this month!

The next PHPBenelux meeting is official! The meeting will be held on 25 August 2010 at Villa Bota in Brugge. This meeting is proudly sponsored by Webdoos (Webdoos.be)

Located in West-Vlaanderen it is a really cool venue in the middle of historical Brugge. It has a park view and a terrace!

This year we are again holding our main event at Manchester Conference Centre, a brilliant venue right in the heart of the city. Its within easy reach of the mainline train stations and within walking distance of all the city centre attractions and hotels. The venue has wifi and the set up will feature a main room to accommodate all attendees with additional space for a second track of talks. We’ll also have space for exhibitors and community groups, and refreshments and lunch will appear throughout the day.
