Post PHPBenelux Conference 2011 review

Last weekend Antwerp was buzzing PHP ! PHPBenelux organized a two-day PHP conference at Ter Elst in Antwerp, Belgium.

The conference was a blast! Over 250 attendees coming from within the Benelux and out, 29 national and international speakers, 18 sponsors and a superb staff of both the PHPBenelux organization as well from the venue Ter Elst itself.

Our success wasn't possible with the support of our sponsors (Microsoft, Ibuildings, Combell, PHPro, Zend, Facebook, Amazium, github, Telenet, Oracle, qafoo, CloudControl, DayCamp4Developers, enrise, in2it, ServerGrove, WEBclusive and yappa) who chipped in a lot so we were able to keep our entrance tickets as low as possible. If you enjoyed the conference, be sure to visit their website and send them a thank you note. They deserve it.

I would also would express my sincere gratitude to the people behind PHPBenelux, the team who has given their full 100% in getting this conference going. In my opinion, they're the heros: Stefan Koopmanschap (@skoop), Thijs Feryn (@ThijsFeryn), Martin De Keijzer (@Martin1982), Paul Borgermans (@paulborgermans), Gerrit "Remi" te Sligte (@Remi_Woler) and last but not least Kana Yeh (@MissYeh). And I would like to thank the volunteers to step up and rise to the occasion.

Thank you speakers for giving such good talks! The audience loved it and we loved you having with us. Don't forget to submit for next year!

And I would like to thank the audience! You guys were great and the feedback we got from you all is worth all the effort. Be sure to look us up next year for the PHPBenelux Conference 2012!.
