We’re proud, excited and not a little bleary-eyed to announce that the initial schedule for TEK·X is finally live.

Our 42 scheduled talks (and two keynotes!) feature some of the best-known speakers in the PHP community, as well as a number of newcomers who caught the attention of the selection committee with ideas that are both novel and exciting.

Compiling the schedule was no small task. With almost ten proposals for every slot (even after we obliterated the Uncon—and replaced it with the Hack Track—to gain an additional seven speaking slots), it took the efforts of everyone on the selection team through the holidays to finally nail down a final lineup. On behalf of everyone here at TEK·X headquarters, I’d like to thank everyone who submitted a proposal (or, in one case, seven); we look forward to seeing many—or all—of you in Chicago.

Oh, one final thing: now that the schedule is live, you can still get a great price on your ticket with our early-bird discount. Quick, though—it ends on January 31st!
