Laravel Manchester 5
Join us for Laravel Manchester 5 on Wednesday, 12th August 2026! 🎉 We'll be hosting regular meetups for developers, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in Laravel, with talks from Laravel lovers across the UK. In this meetup, we'll be hearing from: Speakers and talks 🌟 1. Automated Refactoring in Laravel - Greg Mayes, Principal Engineer at Exumpay Refactoring is often seen as a low-priority, time-intensive chore. Delegating refactors to an LLM is an option, but the PHP ecosystem offers some incredible tools that can automatically refactor your Laravel codebase with more confidence. Greg will showcase these tools and explain how you can get up and running with them 2. Mutation testing with PHP - Craig Duncan-Courcey, Software Consultant at Estrato Cloud So you've got bugs in production. You've written unit tests, you've implemented static analysis...but you've still got bugs in production. What next? It's time to test your tests! It's turtles all the way down with mutation testing for PHP 🐢 Agenda 🌟 17:45 - Arrival 18:30 - Welcome and talk 1 19:00 - Break 19:15 - Talk 2 19:45 - Drinks 20:30 - Event close Your host - Chris Grice, Head of Engineering at Street Group Location Street Group HQ 11-13 Spear Street Manchester M1 1JU See you there!
