Cal Evans has made a new post to the Zend Developer Zone gathering together all the slides he could find from the recent Zend/PHP Conference & Expo (2007):

Most of these have already been posted on the speakers blogs. However, I thought it would be a good idea to gang them all together on one post for those who are looking for them. I've also linked to the blog posts of any speakers who blogged about ZendCon as well. Watch this page for updates, as new slides come in, I'll update the page.

If you were a speaker at the conference and you don't see your slides linked, send Cal at note at cal [at] this domain with your info.
