What we’re about
Welcome to the Symfony User Group! We are a community of Symfony enthusiasts, developers, and professionals who come together to learn, share knowledge, and collaborate on Symfony-related projects.
Whether you are new to Symfony or have been working with it for years, our user group offers a supportive and inclusive environment for everyone.
Symfony is a high-performance PHP framework that enables developers to build robust and scalable web applications. It follows the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern and provides a wide range of reusable components and libraries. Symfony promotes best practices, code reusability, and maintainability, making it a popular choice among developers worldwide.
What We Do:
- Learning and Sharing: Our user group organizes regular meetups where members can learn from industry experts, experienced developers, and fellow Symfony enthusiasts. We cover various Symfony topics, including framework updates, best practices, tips and tricks, and case studies.
- Networking and Collaboration: Our community provides a platform for networking and collaboration. It's a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and find potential collaborators for your Symfony projects.
- Showcasing Projects: We encourage our members to showcase their Symfony projects, share their success stories, and demonstrate innovative use cases. It's a fantastic way to inspire others and receive valuable feedback from the community.
- Contributing to Symfony: We promote and encourage contributions to the Symfony open-source ecosystem.
How to Get Involved:
- Join our Meetups: Check our event schedule and join our meetups to connect with fellow Symfony developers and expand your knowledge.
- Participate in Discussions: Ask questions, seek guidance, and share your expertise with the community.
- Contribute to Open Source: If you are passionate about Symfony, consider contributing to the Symfony project itself or its ecosystem. It's a fantastic way to give back to the community and enhance your development skills.
- Spread the Word: Help us grow the Symfony community by spreading the word about our user group, sharing our events, and inviting others to join us.
We believe that by coming together as a community, we can collectively improve our Symfony skills, inspire innovation, and contribute to the growth of the Symfony ecosystem. Join us today and become a part of the Symfony User Group community!

Talk 1: "Refactor your code - refactor yourself" by Peter Dietrich
Looking at old legacy code, you usually know "a better way to do it" by now. But did you ever look at "the code in your mind"? Let's go through a helpful mindset for refactoring projects and apply some principles of refactoring to yourself. This talk will give you a better understanding of how you and your brain evolved from index.php to a complete fully grown application - and what parts of your brain still run legacy code.Talk 2: "30 years PHP, 20 years CakePHP" by Mark Scherer
Mark is a core contributor to CakePHP one of the first PHP MVC frameworks. He demonstrates how PHP and CakePHP have transformed web development, from CakePHP’s early MVC approach and developer tools to its ongoing impact on PHP frameworks. He highlights where CakePHP stands today and how it continues to make rapid, efficient app development possible. The session wraps up with a live demo showing CakePHP’s strengths in building modern web applications.Don't miss this chance to connect with fellow Symfony enthusiasts! We look forward to seeing you there.
