Who We Are

The team at Northeast PHP seeks to pair web design and development disciplines in an uncommon conference format.

Conference tracks cover a broad selection of topics relvant to web professionals. The PHP talks range from a beginner's first docker installation to an advanced look at the language internals. The User Experience program was designed to address the complex challenges facing UX practitioners today. Relevant web development tools and techniques are also included in the conference. Presentations at the intersection of these fields are included and encouraged.

We collaborate in our jobs, why not at our conferences? All code ultimately runs to serve a user. Conceptual design innovations must to be bult to exist. Planting cross-discipline seeds helps attendees broaden their skill sets and our industry sharpen a vision of a more inclusive future.

Northeast PHP is entirely non-profit, and committed to creating a diverse, welcoming environment. Our organizers and speakers volunteer their time to create a community event experience on par with the big technology conferences. We appreciate the participation of our entire community, and look forward to your valuable contributions this September in Boston.
