On the PHP Coding Practices blog, Tim Koschuetzki has posted his wrapup of the very first (of many, I'm sure) CakeFest conferences that wrapped up at the beginning of this month (Feb 2008):

I would like to tell you about the first CakeFest we had from February 6th till February 8th in Orlando / Florida. I attended the conference which was dedicated to CakePHP [...] There were a few nice talks as well.

He mentions talks by Garrett Woodworth, his own talk about what's new in CakePHP 1.2, Nate Abele's look at REST interfaces and a talk from Felix Geisendorfer dealing with the CakePHP/jQuery combination.
