Does the student pricing for the conference extend to students of American universities?

Also, will the conference be held in English, or should I brush up on my non-existent French? :)

Yes, the student discount extends to any student of any nation.

Also, the conference will be half french, half english. Essentially, people of either language will find there are enough speakers on board to satisfy.

I don't speak french either, and of course, I want to get the most of out it as I can.

Woohoo. Now all I have to do is con my boss into sending me (ie--get him to foot the bill for airfare/hotel room). If you know of any inexpensive hotels close to the conference, please let me know. The cheaper the price, the better the odds I have of attending.

Sure, I know a couple places.

There are quite a few local places at abou $80 CAD a night, which is about $55 a night USD.

The best thing to do is to email presse@phpquebec.com and basically, just ask for good hotels close by (the other guys should have this information on hand).
