Hello Symfony Community!
We're excited to invite you to our Symfony User Group meeting after our summer pause. We have invited Stefan Priebsch from The PHP Consulting Company and he will talk about Democratic Architecture.

This time, we'll be meeting at c-base (Rungestraße 20, 10179 Berlin).

Come by and enjoy an evening of learning, networking, and socializing with fellow Symfony and PHP developers.

**Agenda:**
18:30: Doors open
19:00: Welcome and Introduction
19:20: **Talk 1: "Democratic Architecture" by Stefan Priebsch**
19:50: Break & Snack
20:00: **Talk 2: "Celebrating Community" by Anne Seitz**
20:40: Socializing

**Talk Details:**
**Talk 1: "Democratic Architecture" by Stefan Priebsch**
In today's diverse and rapidly evolving technological landscape, software architecture must transcend rigid implementation constraints in order to empower development teams effectively. Democratic Architecture is based on defining architecture primarily through high-level quality goals, while deliberately avoiding prescriptive implementation details. This approach creates a flexible framework that respects the expertise and unique environments of individual teams.

We will explore how embracing Democratic Architecture can lead to the creation of adaptable and resilient systems, as well as collaborative development cultures where architecture provides guidance rather than dictation. By decoupling architecture from implementation, we can better accommodate evolving requirements and technological shifts, thereby ensuring the long-term viability of systems and their alignment with business goals.

**Talk 2: "Celebrating Community" by Anne-Julia Seitz**
During the relaunch of the [bephpug.de](https://bephpug.de/) website, Anne reflected on our community and learned some valuable insights that she wants to share. The Berlin PHP community has been meeting for over 13 years now - that's a 13-year tradition of knowledge sharing - and we take the time to celebrate all the people who made this happen.

Don't miss this insightful talk, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities. We can't wait to see you all at the Symfony User Group of July.
If you have any questions or accessibility requirements, please reach out to us.
