Good morning from Day Two! The hotel has let us know that we're able to be back in the ballroom this morning, so please double check the rooms for your talks today. (Updates will also come through the PHP Tek Attendee app if you have notifications on!)
Our apologies to our virtual attendees who haven't been able to access the stream. Due to unforeseen circumstances with the hotel, we're having difficulty getting all of our technological ducks back in a row. We'll keep you updated as things change! π€πΌ
Unfortunately, we haven't figured out how to read minds (yet). Show us what parts of Tek make your camera roll! Tag @phptek and @phparch in your posts this week and help us see Tek through your eyes! π· πΈ π·
