On the Symfony blog there's a new post about the Symfony Live Portland schedule being published:

We have finally selected all the great speakers that will share their experience with the Framework with you at Symfony Live Portland 2013. We had a very hard time choosing among all the excellent talks’ proposals we received. After a long time of thinking, we are very pleased to publish the talks we think you most want to attend for this edition. For the first time in the USA, there will be 2 tracks per day; more than 20 talks are scheduled, a lightning talk session and the now famous Jeopardy session with the fantastic Jeremy Mikola! Let’s say that it will be now your turn to have a hard time choosing among these great talks! Have a look now at the schedule and register to the conference!

They also mention the availability of the Symfony certification and that they're still looking for sponsors for this year's event. You can register now and pick up tickets for about $400 USD ($600 for the Combo pass).

As mentioned in this post to the Symfony blog, they've posted the full schedule for the Symfony Live Paris 2013 event. This year's event includes sessions like:

• The PHP Content Repository PHPCR (David Buchmann)
• Git Flow: an Agile Development Process (Xavier Hausherr)
• Understanding the heart of Component Security (Rouff Joseph)
• How to organize your templates twig? (Gregory Pineau)
• Integrate forms and validation in your PHP applications (Hugo Hamon)

You can still get your tickets for thus year's event too- they're the "last minute" tickets and will cost about 300 Euro, but there's still some left!

On the Symfony blog today they've announced the first set of speakers for this year's SymfonyLive Portland (2013):

Great news, we’ve selected the first speakers for Symfony Live Portland! We received a lot of great talks proposals (around 150, how amazing!) and we had a real, real hard time choosing between all of them.

Their list of speakers for this year's event will include:

• Michael Dowling
• Jeremy Lindblom
• Benjamin Eberlei
• Taylor Otwell
• David Zuelke
• Anthony Ferrara

There'll also be workshop session (one and two day) as well as time set aside for lightening talks. You can pick up your tickets here or just find out more information about the event from the main conference site.

On the Symfony blog today there's a new post talking about a new addition to the "Symfony Live" series of events - Symfony Live Portland happening in May of 2013.

For the first time ever, Symfony Live is going to co-locate with two other significant long-standing conferences: I’m speaking of course about DrupalCon Portland and WebVisions. On May 20-24, you will have 5 days to get trained on Symfony or Drupal features, to attend the talks you want, to meet and learn from other communities and to share your experience with new friends! We’ll all be in cool Portland, isn’t it so great?

You can, of course, purchase a ticket to just the Symfony event but they're also offering combo tickets where you can get a special rate for access to all three conferences. The event will be May 20th through 24th in Portland, Oregon.
