Austin PHP @ Longhorn PHP 2025: 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! Sign up for a 5-10 minute talk slot to secure your spot in the lineup, or just show up and hang out. We'll accept submissions from both in-person and online-folks, but in-person attendees will be first in the lineup.

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 6th edition of Longhorn PHP, with six three-hour tutorials across three tracks on Thursday the 23rd, plus four keynotes, 33 talks across three tracks, and two Open Spaces sessions across Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th, plus, as of this announcement, an afterparty on Friday the 24th thanks to Roave. Take a look at the schedule, then grab $20 off your in-person ticket (or $10 off an online ticket for Friday and Saturday) if you purchase tickets by September 25th.
