Should I go to the #phpuk Conference next month? I need some convincing that it would be worthwhile for me.
I could certainly do with the opportunity to 'network', since I am between jobs - and looking for one.
After a couple of hasty choices that didn't work out (usually no-framework - and not much of a quality codebase), I do need to be pickier about making a good choice - which right now includes modern Symfony & PHP (or at least a solid commitment to want to get there soon, if it is still an older version) and working remotely. And being valued for my skills.
The conference schedule sessions aren't overly interesting to me though - I've already seen talks or posts about most of the topics, so it's mostly going to be about the hallway-track.
On the other hand, it's £216 and I'm also trying to not spend too much money right now - although there various shopping carts that don't agree with that idea.
In the meantime - if you are looking for a senior #PHP & #Symfony developer in the UK (or close) - or know someone that is - I'd appreciate it if you let me know!
