Marco Tabini & Associates, publishers of PHP Architect and Python Magazine are bringing their php|works conference back to Atlanta this fall, November 12th through 14th, 2008.

Both conferences have an open call for papers, which ends July 25, 2008. Registration costs $599 (discounts are available).
