PHP Tek 2026
19 - 21 May 2026 at Sheraton O'Hare Suites

A great way to kick off the morning. Great energy, funny, relatable, and reassuring (especially in these turbulent times).

Great energy and real talk to start our second day. Especially appreciated the ice breaking work — we could use more of that in the opening!

Great hackathon, good to get help and talk about how to get a battle snake working.

Great talk, just to have some visibility into some of the new features helps to give a push to the keep moving the php version we are using moving forward.

This was an incredibly dense & useful tutorial full of great examples and useful code to take home with us. There were struggles with communication during the setup — forgotten details & out-of-order instructions that made me happy I'd coincidentally setup Ansible on my laptop the previous weekend for the first time — but once we got traction we dug in deep and got to see the full scope of what is possible. This is probably the conference talk that will have the biggest impact on my day-to-day in the coming year.

Thank you for the talk! I filled in a couple of gaps I had with the Spatie package (I've already put in a ticket to fix them) and clarified the concepts.

My only suggestion is to do more "show" and less "tell". Some slides would have benefited from code examples, such as the "upversioning" concept and the "events to multiple projections" concept, which requires some mental gymnastics to implement. I'm still trying to explain it to someone on my team after a year. :-)

Overall, a wonderful introduction to Event Sourcing.

Thank you so much for this. I'm going to show our product team the Gherkin format and add a future ticket to start integrating Codeception into our test stack because of this talk. If you have complex tests that need to be explained in "English" and not "programmer," this is a wonderful talk.

Thank you for the talk! I was going into this to see how this might be applied to business data, and I'm going to use GRAPH to do these.

Thank you for the talk, it "clarified" a couple of things I've been thinking about and will definitely be bringing back to my team.

I really enjoyed this talk, and I'm looking forward to reading your book. My only feedback is that some of the slides needed a little more contrast.
