Talks
Mario Blažek: PHP Superpowers with FrankenPHP
FrankenPHP is redefining what’s possible with PHP. In this talk, we’ll explore how it brings real-time capabilities, built-in async support, native WebSockets, and impressive performance improvements—all without relying on the traditional PHP-FPM + Nginx stack. You’ll discover how FrankenPHP streamlines architecture, boosts efficiency, and opens the door to modern, high-performance web development in PHP. Whether you're building interactive applications or just looking to level up your PHP infrastructure, this session will show you why FrankenPHP is a game-changer—and how it fits into the future of the PHP ecosystem.

Zvonimir Spajic: Strategy Pattern
Tired of tangled if-else chains and rigid class trees? Enter the Strategy pattern—your code’s new best friend for
switching behaviors on the fly. In this fun, game-inspired talk, we’ll meet warriors, workers, and wanderers,
and see how Strategy helps them all play nice with clean, flexible code. Think less spaghetti, more
strategy!
