Josh Adell recently attended to Raleigh, North Carolina arm of the CodeWorks conference and has posted about some of his experience there (and specifics on each presentation).

I had a great time at CodeWorks 2011 in Raleigh this week, put on by the great folks at php|architect. Here is a rundown of the presentations, with some of my thoughts. [...] To all the conference speakers, organizers and attendees, I want to say thank you for a fun and educational experience.

The sessions for this stop on the tour were:

• "CI:IRL" by Beth Tucker Long
• "How Beer Made Me a Better Developer" by Jason Austin
• "What's new in PHP 5.4" by Cal Evans
• "Refactoring and Other Small Animals" by Marco Tabini
• "jQuery Mobile and Phonegap" by Terry Ryan
• "REST Best Practices" by Keith Casey

Michael Kimsal has submitted some info about a conference that he and others in the Raleigh, NC area will be putting on targeting independent web professionals - a single day event with twelve different sessions aimed directly at folks out on their own - indieconf.

indieconf is a conference for independent web professionals. Whether you're a full time freelancer or part time contractor, designer or developer, you'll find something for you at indieconf. Web and tech conferences have traditionally focused on the technical side of things. While the sessions are often useful, they don't often address the realities of living as an independent.

The event will be happening November 13th with a $99 USD Early Bird rate (before September 25th). Snacks and drinks will be provided during the event, but there will also be a Friday night dinner with all attendees and speakers. The event will be on the University of North Carolina campus in the McKimmon Center. For more information about the conference, check out it's site!

A new post to the Debuggable blog points out an upcoming conference for all of the CakePHP-heads out there - the CakePHP Workshop happening in Raleigh, NC September 6th and 7th.

Felix Geisendorfer notes:

Tim and I are very thrilled to announce the very first two-day workshop for everybody who is interested in mastering the CakePHP framework. The event is a collaboration between Debuggable Limited and the Cake Software foundation.

The cost for the event is $600 USD for a normal admission and $500 USD for a student admission. Speakers will include Garrett Woodworth, Nate Abele and Felix and Tim (of the Debuggable blog).
