A new PHP conference has just been announced to the community - the True North PHP Conference (2012). The event will be held in Toronto, Ontario November 2nd and 3rd and is currently running their open Call for Papers.

We are firm believers that the PHP community is second to none. We also believe that Toronto has an awesome PHP community and deserves an equally awesome conference. Those beliefs are what inspired us to create True North PHP, a conference designed to showcase Toronto's talent and give back to the community that has given us so much.

If you're interested in speaking, you can find out more and submit your topics or, if you're just interested in attending, you can already pick up your Early Bird tickets.
