DC4D Nomad PHP and ZendCon

Greetings!

This is just my semi-regular - when I can remember it - reminder that I've
got free stuff for you.

This time I've actually got 3.

1: Day Camp 4 Developers: Debugging Beyond var_dump()
As with all my other DC4D events, I will offer you a free ticket to the
event if you will send a notice out to your group's mailing list. You can
either use the ticket yourself or raffle it off to your membership.

Suggested copy:
Gone are the days when var_dump() & die() would show you what was actually
going on in your app. When your website was all in single pages, var_dump()
was your best friend. With today’s advanced frameworks however, you have to
have more; you have to have a debugging strategy. Day Camp 4 Developers:
Debugging Beyond var_dump() will help you develop that strategy.

We've brought together five experts in various areas to help you understand
the tools that are available to you, and the mindset you need to debug your
code. Join us on Sept 18th, 2015 for Day Camp 4 Developers: Debugging
Beyond var_dump(). Purchase your ticket today.

Day Camp 4 Developers, invest a day in your career.

2: Nomad PHP
Long-time members of this group know but for you new compers, Nomad PHP
offers a free ticket to EVERY Nomad PHP event to PHP User Group
Admins/Managers. If you lead a group, all you need to do is go to nomadphp
[dot] com/ug-leader-ticket-request/ fill out the form and select the event
you want to attend. You are welcome - nay ENCOURAGED - to submit for
multiple events. We do ask that you submit once for each event you wish to
attend. We do not keep track of how many you have attended for free, we
don't care. :) We know that organizing a PHP User Group is largely a
 thankless job that benefits the community much more than you. This is our
small way of saying Thank you for all that you do for the PHP community.

3: FREE PHP7 ElePHPants
At ZendCon this year Zend will unveil the latest ElePHPant, the PHP7
ElePHPant. Every attendee will get one. However, we've got a plan to get
them out into the User Groups. For every attendee that you r group has at
ZendCon, we will send you an ElePHPant that you can then distribute to your
members. Heck, send 12 people to ZendCon from your group and you've got
raffle prizes for a year! :)

As soon as I get the details, I'll let you know how this will work. But I
thought I would share that with you. Oh, and make sure your members use the
User Group discount code to register so they can save a little off the full
price! Drop an email to contact [at] zendcon [dot] com to get your discount
code to hand out to your users.

Ok, that's all I've got for you.
