For all of you Europeans (or peoples from other countries that could make it), there is a new conference in the works planned to be based in Manchester - the PHP and Web Standards Conference (lead by Davey Shafik).

The PHP and Web Standards (PaWS) Conference is designed to cater to long-suffering UK PHP and Web developers, who until now have had to travel abroad to learn in person. With the help of Mark Leavy and the input of many members of the PHP community, we're bringing some of the finest talents in PHP and Web standards right here to Manchester.

They go on to talk about what will be involved in the conference, when it wil be (February 20th to 24th, 2004), and where it will be held (Manchester, England). They even have a section on their site discussing why even their site is standards-compliant, and what they plan to do with it in the future.
