Lightning talks

We return again for another remote meetup and this time it's lightning talks. We'll have 8 ten minute talks about a wide range of topics related to PHP and the wider ecosystem.

We're going to be using Zoom for the event - the link will be added a couple of days beforehand.

So grab your own pizza and a drink and join us for an evening of informative talks.

Unfortunately we can't head anywhere afterwards for a drink, but we'll keep the chat going so that you can chat with each other.

Once the talks are finished, we'll open up the meeting so that everyone who wants to can turn on their cameras and microphones to join in the conversation.

You can also join us in Slack any time, just head to https://slack.phpsw.uk

How is this online thing going to work?

We've decided to use Zoom to host the event.

You'll find the link for the webinar under the location section of this event from a couple of days before. You'll be able to access the event from the start time and it will prompt you to install a client if you wish/need to. There is also a web client available.
On joining you will be asked for an email address. We're not messaging attendees etc. so this can be a non-real address.

Note: We will be restricting video and screen sharing to hosts and speakers only until after the talks.

Please be aware that our code of conduct (https://phpsw.uk/code-of-conduct) still applies.
