As every year, the JsDay and PhpDay conferences were taking place mid-May in the beautiful italian city of Verona. According to tradition, a bunch of Liipers visited both two day conferences. This year we were a crowd of twelve people, eager to learn the latest techniques for producing great web applications.
Both conferences are organised by the italian PHP user group GRUSP since a couple of years. Meanwhile the visiting crowd is quite international. Also there are speakers from all over the world, but GRUSP tries to still give a chance to as many locale speakers as possible. While the conferences grew a lot since the beginnings, the atmosphere is still really warm and personal. One reason for that is the proximity of the speakers who one can talk to both at the conferences themselves and at the social events organised by GRUSP. One also gets the opportunity to catch up with friends or meet new ones. Among Liipers, the conference got the reputation of beeing very educational and worth visiting, which is also the reason Liip decided to sponsor it this year. Obviously a big plus is also the great italian food served throughout the conference ;)

So whats left to say? A big thank you to GRUSP and I definitely recommend visiting JsDay / PhpDay 2014 ā I sure will be back.
