Hello from the PhpStorm team (again),

We were so excited to tell you about PHPverse 2026 that we rushed and accidentally sent last year’s email instead of the new announcement.

That said, JetBrains PHPverse will come back in 2026, on July 9, at 11:00 UTC.

Last year’s PHPverse was a blast, and this year we’re aiming even bigger, bringing some of the most influential voices in the PHP community to share their insights on modern PHP.

Program

• Fabien Potencier – How Symfony shapes open source through community collaboration
• Jonathan Bossenger – Modern WordPress development
• Elisabeth Barron – Community news and insights from across the PHP ecosystem
• Ashley Hindle – How AI agents can write PHP you would be happy to ship
• Nils Adermann – A look behind the scenes at Packagist
• Larry Garfield – How the language evolves through PHP RFCs
• Jeffrey Way – How AI is changing the programmer world

There will be more community updates and surprises along the way, hosted by Brent Roose and Nuno Maduro! Explore our agenda here.

We’d appreciate it if you could help us spread the word about PHPverse to as many PHP developers as possible. Feel free to share it on social media, pass the link to your colleagues, or use any other channels you find relevant.

We hope to see you and your friends there!

Kind regards,
The PhpStorm team
