Afterglow

Well the sessions are over, the goodbye’s said, and the projectors packed back away. Another PHP conference goes into the history books. Looking around the web, I am already beginning to see posts, pictures, and tweets from attendees talking about what they learned and showcasing new friendships. From the looks of it, everyone had a great time, made new friends, and learned something new.

All of us at php|architect want to say thank you to the sponsors, speakers, and attendees for helping make this years TEK·X great.

Help us do better

All attendees should have received an email by now with a link to a survey. Thank you to all of you who have already filled it out. We have read and discussed every comment so far and will do so with any new ones that come in. We appreciate those who give us glowing reports as much as those who show us where we can do better.

For those of you who haven’t filed it out yet, please take 2 minutes and help us make next year’s conference even better.

Thanks again for making this year great, we hope to see you in Chicago again next year.
