Bring your own extension lead!
As all attendees of PHP Unconference Europe will be bringing and using their laptop, phones and other electronic gizmos at the event, there will be a shortage of power sockets. You can be sure of this!
Therefore, we kindly ask you to bring your own extension lead with you. One ideally with more than 1 socket on it, so that others may also use it.
Note to attendees from outside the UK: Remember, the UK has a different plug system from the rest of Europe (see photo!), so you will also need an EU to UK plug adapter.
Thank you!

Contribution & Interests System is now live
You decide on the programme! At PHPucEU, you state the topics in which you are interested and we all look for speakers and moderators.
The idea is simple: You submit a topic, about which you would like to hold a session (a so called "contribution"). Or you submit an interest, about which someone else may be willing to hold a session (a so called "interest").
