The featured speaker for the evening is Chris Shiflett, a well-known member of the PHP community. He'll be speaking on "Security-Centered Design: Exploring the Impact of Human Behavior".

Join Boston PHP and O'Reilly Author Chris Shiflett as we take you through a fascinating talk on the human behavior and social aspect of security. We'll explore topics such as change blindness and ambient signifiers, and we'll show some real-world examples that demonstrate the profound impact human behavior can have on security. If your a designer, developer, human interaction designer, you won't want to miss this talk.

So far there's over 150 marked as attending - if you plan on trying to make it tonight, be sure you RSVP so they know how many to expect.
