Halloween is filled with ghouls, ghosts, zombies and lots of other spookiness, but the scariest thing ever is FOMO. It’s conference season and several have their call for papers out (including us at Nomad PHP :D). This is the perfect time for you to share your knowledge with the community. Whether it’s your first time or 100th time - it can be scary to put yourself out there and do a talk, but worse than that is not taking the chance and submitting your talk and doing the presentation. Plus, many of these events host lightning talks (short 5-15 minute talks) - meaning you can test out your talk risk free ;)

So here is your chance - submit for one or submit for all of them. May the odds be ever in your favor!

What a pity, I was about to apply to Fosdem, but then remembered I'm going to get back to Amsterdam on Feb 2, after 6 weeks in Mexico... Would be totally impossible to get to Brussels the next day.. And let's admit: when the speaker is fully exhausted by jetlag (I know I will be), it's just not repectful to the audience..

Anyway, its a nice list of ooportunities, thank you!
