Artisan Kickoff: The State of Laravel in 2026
Details
Join us for the inaugural meetup of the Asker & Bærum Artisans! We finally have a home for our first event! We’ll be gathering at Bjørn Carlsen-rommet (Asker Kulturhus, Strøket 15A, Asker) to dive straight into the biggest news of the year: the release of Laravel 13, the evolving ecosystem, and the power of PHP 8.5.
