PHP Tek is the longest-running independent PHP conference in North America, and 2027 is its 19th year. It returns to the Sheraton O'Hare in Rosemont, just outside Chicago, from April 27 to 29, 2027.

The program runs three days with multiple tracks: two full tracks of PHP Tek talks, plus one extra track each day focused on Laravel, JavaScript, or DevOps. Expect practical sessions from people who build and maintain the tools PHP developers use every day, along with nightly events and plenty of hallway time.

Early-bird pricing is live:

  • Full 3-Day Conference: $550. All three days, every track, nightly events, lunch and refreshments.
  • Laravel, JavaScript, or DevOps (1 Day): $250 each. One day with two PHP Tek tracks plus the themed track.
