As my previous post shows, PHP is active in the Netherlands, and our user group is acting on that. However there's more beyond our user group in this little country!

He mentions the pfCongrez (April 15th in Maarssen, online registration required, about 17 Euro) and the Dutch PHP Conference (June 11-13th in Amsterdam, full ticket is 500 Euro) both with excellent sessions by speakers like Derick Rethans, Matthew Weier O'Phinney and Eli White.

PHP is still growing in The Netherlands (according to nexen.net, 46% of Dutch domains use PHP). A good indicator of PHP's growth is the number of conferences and other events that are organized this year. [...] This year alone, there are already 6 major (>50) events; 3 done, 3 to go.

Some of the events (like Dutch Joomla Days and the PHP Business Seminar) have already passed but there's still a chance to get in on a few others like Kings of Code and the Dutch PHP Conference.
