Using Tech for Social Impact & Rapid Shipping with Filament PHP in Zurich

Join us in Zurich for our next Laravel Meetup at Liip! Enjoy an evening with wonderful talks about our beloved two C's: community and code.
First talk starts at 19:00, doors open at 18:30

1️⃣ From Code to Change: Using Tech for Social Impact

Technology is a powerful tool—not just for innovation, but for impact. In this talk, I’ll share my journey from the corporate tech world to creating initiatives that empower underrepresented communities. Through my work with Code Blossom, I’ve witnessed how access to education and opportunities can transform lives. Join me for a conversation on how we, as technologists, can drive meaningful change.

Marion is the Co-Founder of Code Blossom, an organization dedicated to empowering women in developing countries to pursue their desired tech careers.
With a strong background in developer education and a passion for diversity, Marion is actively contributing to different initiatives to provide women with opportunities to enter the tech industry.

2️⃣ Rapid Shipping with Filament PHP and an intro to Managers and Strategies in Laravel

Stefan will share how he built his own read-it-later app for fun using Filament PHP. Instead of spending time on routes, controllers, and Blade views, he focused on solving problems and using Filament components to quickly create great-looking views.
He will also discuss the Manager and Strategy patterns used in Laravel and how you can apply them to your projects to switch between implementations easily.

With 10 years of Laravel experience, Stefan shares his knowledge through talks like this, blog posts, and open-source packages.
