NYCPHP Meetup

[Chris Snyder]

Last night, Hendry came up with three key ingredients to a successful 
conference that were woefully absent in Amsterdam:

1) Endless coffee
2) Good wireless (with enterprise bandwidth)
3) Abundant power outlets

There should also be a mechanism (CMS? secretary?) for getting 
presentation slides and additional material onto the conference website 
in real time.

Passively listening to speakers can be a chore (especially without 
caffeine!) -- but if you can code examples on your laptop, do research, 
run demos, and communicate with your peers at the same time, you become 
an active participant.
