    Your first time coming to PHPSW? Welcome!
    Here's how the evening tends to run:

    • Feel free to turn up from 6:30pm.
    • We'll have a selection of food available from about 6:30pm, all free of charge thanks to our sponsors. It's a great chance to speak to people (we're a friendly bunch!) and do a bit of networking. Just speak to an organiser if you'd like an introduction to people, or just dive in and say "hello!".
    • At 7pm, we'll do a quick welcome talk and some community announcements
    • At ~7:05pm we'll start the talks
    • We finish at 8:30. We always stay for a drink afterwards to discuss the talks and anything else that takes your fancy. 🐘
