In addition to our three tracks of presentations on both days of the

The first evening will host a specialist panel discussion, free and
open to the public.

The conference will close with a Q&A session with all the conference
speakers and sponsor product giveaways.

The Open Web is a presentation of the Vancouver PHP Users Association,

Open Web.
