From the folks who coined the term, Web 2.0 Expo is a new event that brings Web 2.0 to life and to your business. Are you a designer, developer, entrepreneur, operations manager, PM, business strategist or marketer–or all of the above–seeking to create and leverage the new web? Then come learn, network, share, and celebrate the Web 2.0 community.

PHP Architect is hosting its annual PHP tek conference in Chicago, May 16-18. Topics cover all aspects of PHP from upgrading from v4 to v5, developer tools, blending technologies (mashup design with AJAX, SOAP, etc…), Security, to utilizing frameworks. One topic that caught my eye was how PHP developers could borrow ideas from the Rails framework (for which I have yet to find a decent explanation). Pricing starts at $649.
The theme for this year’s edition of php|tek is PHP::innovate()—we’ll focus on practical examples of how PHP can help developers and companies everywhere build better products faster, less expensively and more securely.
SEO expert Jill Whalen is hosting an SEM workshop for two days. Jill and the other speakers all subscribe to the same philosophy and will walk you through their time tested methods.

Skills Matter is a leading provider of training for open source technologies from AJAX to Ruby on Rails and other agile development methods. They sponsor many workshops and host educational mentoring programs for users of technology. The one that caught my attention is the AJAX training course which is held throughout the year in London and Edinburgh.
This intensive and highly practical Ajax training course has been developed by Dave Crane, author of Ajax in Action and well known expert in the field of DHTML and Ajax development.
This Ajax training course provides the student with the necessary depth of understanding of the various technologies that underpin Ajax, and shows how to orchestrate them as a unified whole, both in incremental introduction of Ajax to existing applications, and in green-field development of pure Ajax web applications.
