PHP Tek conference

when I grow up I want to be as cool as Sarah Peters @phptek 🎻👩🏻‍💻

We're so proud to be partners with Artisan Build at Tek! Artisan Build cares about supporting developers, both in helping you build better code and keeping you excited about your work, and we're happy have them be a part of Tek's foundation this year!

Thank you so much for having me @phptek @phparch! First talk in the USA for me, and I'm getting back in September in San Francisco 🇺🇸 Had a blast to talk about #FrankenPHP, cybersecurity and meeting people from @ThePHPF and the ecosystem 🐘💜

We'll be streaming James Titcumb's talk, A Slice of PIE: Revolutionising PHP Extension Installation this afternoon, 1:00pm CDT in the Lobby on PHPTek.TV! Check it out to learn more about PHP Installer for Extensions as a new tool for developers.

Our team is passionate about creating a community-led space at Tek (and beyond). @packagist is another 2026 partner and is made up of people just as invested in our community as we are, bringing us great tools from people who understand PHP. Thanks from Chicago, team! 🐘🧡

Clayton Kendall is not only a Tek partner this year, but also is a trusted part of the prep for the conference that happens long before we get to the hotel. If you like your shirt that you got at registration, consider giving a thanks to the Clayton Kendall team with us! 🧡👕

If you subscribe to the magazine, you've definitely seen our partner @coderabbitai pop up between articles. They're another important part of what let's us focus on producing the Tek we all love to see every year! Thanks, CodeRabbit! 🧡🐇

We'll be livestreaming Lilah Jones's keynote this morning to phptek.tv at 9:00am CDT. You may have caught Lilah on the Community Corner podcast earlier this year- now is your chance to hear more of her strategies on how to remain confident in high-stress situations.

Good morning from Day Two! The hotel has let us know that we're able to be back in the ballroom this morning, so please double check the rooms for your talks today. (Updates will also come through the PHP Tek Attendee app if you have notifications on!)

Our apologies to our virtual attendees who haven't been able to access the stream. Due to unforeseen circumstances with the hotel, we're having difficulty getting all of our technological ducks back in a row. We'll keep you updated as things change! 🤞🏼

Unfortunately, we haven't figured out how to read minds (yet). Show us what parts of Tek make your camera roll! Tag @phptek and @phparch in your posts this week and help us see Tek through your eyes! 📷 📸 📷

📣📣 Nothing left to do but to do it! The doors to PHPTek 2026 open on Tues, May 19th at 8:45am CDT. Grab your bag, pick up a shirt, and get ready to kick off this year's conference. 📣📣

‼️‼️ Hello from Day One! Quick correction to the schedule-- we've had to move some things around. Please be sure to check our updated schedule here to make sure you know where you're going. ‼️‼️

We couldn't put on Tek without the help of our community 🧡🐘 We'll be thanking our partners throughout the week, starting with our friends at vehikl! Vehikl has been a part of Tek for years now, and we couldn't be more grateful to welcome them back this year.

☕ Tek kicks off tomorrow morning! ☕ Not sure what talks you want to attend? You can find full summaries of all talks (and their recommended experience levels) at phptek.io!

📣📣 Just one more sleep until Tek! ElePHPants have been tucked in, podcasters are panicking, and we can't wait to see you tomorrow! 📣📣

Not long now before we kickoff Tek bright and early with registration and our first talk of the conference in the main ballroom! (Catch me in the halls to discuss coffee recs ☕)

Our team is getting ready for your arrival-- when do you get in? (Btw, have you read up on the local transit? The water taxi sounds pretty neat 👀)

Can't wait to see you in just four days at Tek! Forgot to buy your tickets? We still have virtual seat available to you at phptek.io

Jen Fry will be closing Tek out on Thursday! Learn the skills we need to identify healthy conflict and navigate the challenges when things turn into tension, helping to build us into an even better community. We're excited to see you there!
