Call for Papers closes

Posted on January 16th, 2013 by Eli White

Well this year’s call for papers has come to a close, and we had a record breaking number of submissions with over 400 talks being submitted to this year’s conference! We now have a daunting task ahead of us to review all of these and then turn them into an amazing (and balanced) schedule.

We don’t want to commit to a hard date that we’ll let speakers know and release the final schedule, because if we do, I’m sure we will miss the date and just upset everyone. However we are going to aim to have the schedule announced by the end of the month (or early in February).

In the meantime, our Early Bird registrations are open so you can still buy your tickets early and save money! We are extremely excited that this year is going to be an amazing one for tek

Welcome to php[tek] 2013!

So we’ve been hearing rumors that tek13 wasn’t even going to happen this year. Nonsense! We’ve been extremely busy behind the scenes getting organized as we’ve been working on the transition of the PHP|architect brand from Blue Parabola to Musketeers.me.

Eli, Sandy, Oscar, and Kevin are planning on carrying on the great tek tradition of quality content and community that we’re all used to from the BP crew! To ensure this we also are hiring Beth away from BP to join the Musketeers team and continue to support the conference (as well as all other aspects of the brand).

We are not only announcing the conference, but also opening up the Call for Papers as well! Given that we’ve had a little bit of a late start on this, we are going to keep the CfP open until Jan 15th 2013 – But don’t wait until the last minute. Submit early! Submit often! If you’ve spoken before, we welcome you back! If you’ve never spoken before, we invite you to contribute your knowledge and experience to the greater PHP community (and have a blast while doing so!)

We’re also accepting sponsors for tek13. Sponsoring php[tek] is a great way to reach out to a vibrant, well-connected and highly professional community of developers and technical managers. Feel free to to receive our prospectus and discuss your options.

Tickets for attending tek13 will be available soon. Look here the next couple of weeks for your blind-bird & early-bird specials!
