Vancouver PHP Users Association presents
The Open Web – a conference on Open Web technologies

When: Monday April 14 – Tuesday April 15th 2008

Where: Vancouver Convention & Exhibition Centre (VCEC), 999 Canada Place.

What: A conference showcasing open source technologies, communities and culture. We are featuring talks from all areas of open source technologies such as PHP, Python, Ruby on Rails, XUL, GPL, Linux, Django, Drupal, HTML, CSS, Javascript and AJAX, XML, Apache, MySQL, Web 2.0, etc.

Our format delivers an extremely affordable alternative in comparison to other major conferences. Our community based, volunteer run events in the past have sold-out, attracting audiences from all over the world, and have featured the biggest names in PHP and related topics and technologies.

VCEC is the largest conference facility in downtown Vancouver, located in the spectacular inner harbour.

The conference will open with a ‘keynote’ session featuring Tim Bray, Sun Microsystems, Co-Inventor of XML, and Zak Greant of Mozilla Foundation and Foo Associates.

In addition to our three tracks of presentations on both days of the conference, there will be time allocated for attendees to give short talks on topics of interest in a ‘Lightning Talk’ format.

The Open Web is a presentation of the Vancouver PHP Users Association, a registered non-profit association for the advancement of PHP and the Open Web.
