Want a DPC12 Ticket? Just ask!

by Lorna Mitchell |  43 comments | April 25, 2012

Good news! We've managed to acquire a conference ticket for the Dutch PHP Conference in Amsterdam, on June 8th and 9th, to give away to our readers. We know that since you're reading techPortal, you are interested in technology in general and probably PHP in particular. The Dutch PHP Conference is one of the leading european conferences for PHP content and we hope you can join us there!

This year, we're running a sister conference alongside DPC - the very first Dutch Mobile Conference is being held! Your DPC ticket also gives you access to the mobile conference tracks, so whether you're into web, mobile, or a little bit of both - you're absolutely in the right place :)

   

We have some excellent speakers lined up for both conferences; check out the mobile conference schedule and the PHP conference schedule to see what kinds of sessions are available.

How to Win the Ticket

We're keeping it nice and simple! To win, simply leave us a comment on this post (including your email address so we can get in touch with you if you win!) telling us why you should win the ticket, and we'll randomly draw a winner when we close the competition on May 9th. Want to join us in Amsterdam? Then what are you waiting for?

(sadly we haven't got enough tickets to give away to everyone, so if you don't win then you can still buy tickets and we'll see you there!)

    I would love to win a ticket as I doubt I'll be able to make it otherwise and it's such a great conference

    It would be nice to win a ticket, because I don't want to miss the DPC this year!

    I would love a ticket as I came in 2010 where I gave a tuition day. It was awesome. However as I self fund conference visits The full cost of DPC, hotel and travel is sometimes prohibitive.

    We all know it's a recession right now. But at the place where I work we got such a huge technical debt, it's not even funny. To compensate I need to stay on the edge so we can clear the technical debt as soon as possible.

    I should get the ticket because it's the only way I might be able to get my boss to send me to Amsterdam on the company's dime …

  17. Christian Schorn said

    I never win at those things, so maybe this time? Oh, and going to the conference would be great too ...

  18. Adelino Lobão said

    I should get the ticket because I'm a backend developer of mobile applications, so I work mainly with PHP for mobile technology. I think that this is enough. And of course because I really want to go to the conference.

    Please let me goooo :)

    I should win that ticket because I need an Albert Heijn smoothie ASAP and there's nowhere else I can get the latest news on Travis CI, Puppet, PHAR and PHP 5.4. Do you need any more reasons than that?

    Because I wanna get HIGH! On the newest in PHP Development :)

    It would be nice to win the ticket. My last visit to the DPC was a few years ago.

    Could I get a ticket? I've been to all conferences in the past, but this would be the first year I couldn't go :-(

  35. Ashley Broadley said

    I think I should win the ticket because I find it inspiring that people take a chunk out of their own time to help educate the masses. I really enjoy helping people on a one to one basis and would love to build up to speaking at an amazing conference.
