Just a reminder to sign up for Ski PHP using the discount code UPHPU, which is valid until the end of the month.
We'll be making an announcement early next month that I think will generate some more excitement about the conference, but unfortunately we weren't able to finalize that announcement this month. You'll just have to take me at my word that you'll really want to attend this conference!
