The Inspiring Conference emerged from the Inspiring Flow Conference (2013) and  FLOW3 Experience (2012) and is currently the only international event covering only TYPO3 Flow and TYPO3 Neos topics. This years event will take place on March 28th and 29th at the fantastic location „Kesselhaus“ in Kolbermoor near Munich, Germany. Prior to the conference is a day full of workshops. The speaker lineup for the conference consists of well known experts from the TYPO3 and PHP community like Robert Lemke, Karsten Dambekalns or Sebstian Bergmann who guarantee an  exciting program.

Inspiring Flow Conference and FLOW3 Experience have already been awesome events which brought the experts and the community together. Since TYPO3 Neos has been released to the public last December it has gained a lot of attention. This conference will show how TYPO3 Neos is adapted in real world projects. It is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the Flow and Neos core team and discuss your experiences.

Tickets are available on the conference website. Furthermore typo3blogger.de is giving away two tickets in a sweep stake. Stay tuned!
