Austin PHP @ Longhorn PHP 2026: Lightning Talks!

Longhorn PHP is back this October, and along with it is an in-person Austin PHP meetup in collaboration with MergePHP at the Longhorn PHP venue: Holiday Inn Austin Midtown. This year, in addition to catching up with other folks in the PHP community, whether they're attending, volunteering, sponsoring, or speaking at the conference (or none of the above), we'll have lightning talks! Comment here if you want to sign up ahead of time, or just show up and either present or hang out, either online or in-person. While a ticket is required for the main conference, this event is free and open to the public, so stop by even if you can't make it for the conference during the day. With that said, you won't want to miss the 7th edition of Longhorn PHP, with four three-hour tutorials and one-full-day tutorial across three tracks on Thursday the 15th, plus two keynotes, 15 talks, and an Open Spaces session on Friday the 16th. Mix and match days to suit your time, budget, and desire to attend what's on the schedule.
