PHP has been around for decades, and it is still here because of people. The ones who write the code, answer the questions, organise the meetups and quietly keep things moving.
So how does a language stay alive and growing through all of that? What does it look like to contribute, whether you write code or not? And where are the opportunities for developers, especially those who are just finding their place in the community?
@ElizabethN , Executive Director of the PHPFoundation, is joining us to talk about exactly that. If you have ever wondered how to get more involved, or whether there is a place for you, this session is one to make time for.
Add technical sessions, competitions and community moments, all built around AI and the Engineer, and October 3rd is shaping up to be a good one.

PHP Internals Deep Dive, with @derickr.
You write the code. You hit run. And then what?
What does PHP actually do with your script in the milliseconds before the output appears? How does it read it, understand it and run it? And what can you do with that knowledge when something behaves in a way that makes no sense?
Few people are better placed to answer than the person who built Xdebug, the tool that has helped so many of us see inside our own code. This is a chance to go one layer deeper than most of us ever do, and come away as a sharper engineer.
Add technical sessions, competitions and community moments, all built around AI and the Engineer, and October 3rd is shaping up to be a good one.

All the chaos that went down at the PHPConnect'26 test live stream 😂
We were supposed to just "test mics and cameras" - next thing, full-blown comedy show, tech gbas gbos, and Dad Jokes.
And yes, the organizers MAY or MAY NOT be legendary for their Dad Jokes. We will not be confirming or denying. You have to be there to suffer... I mean, enjoy them.
But honestly, if the test stream was this fun, imagine what the main event will be?
This is just a tiny glimpse of the fun, the excitement, the learning, and the pure, unfiltered great moments you will witness at PHPCONNECT'26.
It's going to be loud. It's going to be insightful. It's going to be unforgettable.
Don't be told about it. Be there!

Before PHPConnect’26
There was
1. A time where we just had Google Meet discussions
2. Filled a small hall with over 100 persons for PHPConnect’23
3. Filled a bigger hall with over 300 persons for PHPConnect’24
4. Filled an even bigger hall with over 500 persons for PHPConnect’25
And in this years, the community has grown, thrived, formed new partnerships and renewed old ones
PHPConnect’26 is not just an event for us
It’s a continuation of the promise we keep coming back to each year
Growing together as a community
Now this year, we have grown beyond a small physical space or even a larger physical space
Our communities have expanded to Uyo, Lagos, Zambia and more
We are taking down the walls and going virtual once more
