Lorna Mitchell has posted up a summary of her trip to the International PHP Conference for this year to the PHP Women website.

At the beginning of November I attended the International PHP Conference in Frankfurt, Germany. This was my first attendance at any of the larger conferences and I thought I'd share my experiences as a conference newbie.

She mentions the number and types of attendees, the venue for the conference, "Code Camp", some of the talks given (including keynotes) and some of the off times.
