PNWPHP 2016 Speakers
Hey everyone! The PNWPHP organizers are hard at work putting together a great conference for you. We received 368 abstracts from a pool of talented speakers from all around the PHP community. We had a lot of hard choices, but we made them. It took a little longer than we thought, but we posted the final speakers list. From the chosen talks below, we created the PNWPHP Schedule. We have a mix of 25-minute and 55-minute sessions over 2 days, and a day of workshops. The tables below are sorted by the speaker’s name.
