Submit Your Session Before December 19 & Secure Your Early-Bird Ticket for the Dutch PHP Conference 2026

The PHP community has always been vibrant, innovative and collaborative and the response to the 2026 Dutch PHP Conference Call for Papers proves it once again. As we prepare for the next edition in Amsterdam, we’re thrilled to share that this year’s CFP is shaping up to be one of our strongest yet.

772 Sessions Submitted… And Counting

So far, 772 talk proposals have been submitted, reflecting the depth and breadth of the PHP and backend development ecosystem. Topics cover everything from modern PHP features to architecture, scaling, frameworks, testing, DevOps, security, performance tuning and the ever-evolving world of cloud-native development.

Our reviewers have already begun diving into submissions, and the upcoming Christmas period will be one of their busiest times, reviewing, debating and selecting the best possible programme for 2026. They’re eager to curate a lineup that represents modern PHP at its best.

And the door is still open for your contribution:
You can submit your session until Thursday, 19 December at 23:59 CET.

If you’ve been thinking about sharing a case study, a hard-learned lesson, a new tool or a fresh way of thinking about backend development, now’s the time to send it in. You may be one of the speakers who takes the stage next March.

New This Year: The Dutch AI Conference

We’re thrilled to introduce a new addition to conference week: the Dutch AI Conference, hosted for the first time in March 2026. AI is rapidly transforming backend development, from tooling to architecture to developer workflow. The Dutch AI Conference will bring expert insights, practical applications and ethical discussions straight to the community.

And here’s something special:
If you’re attending workshops on Thursday, you get access to the AI Conference as well. It’s the perfect complement to a week already filled with learning and inspiration.
