This year's Dutch PHP Conference has been officially announced:

Ibuildings and Zend Technologies are proud to organize the second Dutch PHP Conference on June 14. Plus a pre-conference tutorial day on June 13. Both programs will be completely in English so the only Dutch thing about it is the location. Keywords for these days: Know-how, Best Practices, Networking, Tips & Tricks

This year's even will be happening somewhere in Amsterdam and "big shot" speakers like Lorna Jane Mitchell, Zeev Suraski, Sebastian Bergmann, Matthew Weier O'Phinney, Fabien Potencier, Marco Tabini, and Ivo Jansch will be presenting. If you register before April 14th, you can get in on the Early Bird Special of 350 Euro for both days, 295 Euro for the Tutorial day or 100 Euro for just the conference.

You can get the full story on this year's even (including the schedule) from the conference's main website.
