1️⃣ Talk #1: "PHP IS DEAD! ☠️"
Speaker: Dario Tilgner
PHP is dead. We all know it. Just check Hacker News or Reddit—they’ll tell you everything you need to “prove” it. But instead of just talking about it, let’s bury PHP together and take a look at what’s really behind the curtain. Is it really dead, or does PHP still have some life left in it?

2️⃣ Talk #2: "CHECK24: Making of Tippspiel"
Speaker: Philipp Kemper
Tippspiel (Prediction Game) was one of the largest marketing campaigns in Germany in 2024. It was also the biggest marketing campaign for CHECK24. Take a look behind the scenes to see what technical and organizational challenges occurred.
