# php|works Begins Tomorrow!

So, I'm here gearing up for [php\|works](http://web.archive.org/web/20070824174906/http://works.phparch.com/c/p/index) at the Sheraton Gateway Hotel near the Atlanta airport. I'm giving a 6-hour [Zend PHP 5 Certification Crash Course](http://web.archive.org/web/20070916102115/http://works.phparch.com/c/schedule/talk/ts1/0) tomorrow. Following that, I'll play host to some speakers and conference attendees (as a sort of unofficial social coordinator--as if I have those skills) for after-hours dinner and drinks. If you're interested in hanging out after-hours this week, look me up at the conference and let me know.

Also, I'll be logged into [#phpc](irc://chat.freenode.net/#phpc) on [Freenode IRC](http://freenode.net/) this week along with many other conference attendees. The channel will serve as a sort of (unofficial) conference chatter channel to find conference goers, make plans, and make general mischief, heckling the speakers behind their backs. ;-)

I assume there's still time to [register](http://web.archive.org/web/20070824120849/http://works.phparch.com/c/p/register) if you're interested in attending.
