Wez Furlong has his look at the Zend/PHP Conference this year posted over on his blog today - and seems to think things went well.

So, I'm back from ZendCon. I was unsure how this business focused conference would turn out, and I'm glad to say that it seemed to go down quite well. There were a lot of "biz" sessions and that made it feel like there wasn't much technical content at the conference proper--but that was compensated for by the technical tutorials that took place on tuesday.

He mentions the good networking opportunities and the chance to meet some of the people that he'd never seen face-to-face. And one very positive quote:

I think one of the biggest things to take home from the conference (besides the swag) is the message that big business recognizes PHP as platform for big business.
