I’m going to be speaking at php|tek in Chicago in May (15/16th – 18th), so if you want to come and meet me, I’d be happy to see and talk to anyone 
My session will focus on “Everything but the Code“, a look at the other things involved in a project or that you may face as a developer, that don’t actually involve writing code.
The conference schedule looks great as always for php|arch conferences, and you can get Zend PHP 5 Certified for free, so don’t forget to study up
