The International PHP Conference is back in Munich this fall, running October 26 to 30, 2026 at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre. The three conference days are October 27, 28, and 29, with a workshop day on either end.

This year it shares the week with two sibling events. The organizers, Software & Support Media, are running IPC alongside the International JavaScript Conference and Webinale under a shared banner:

Together with iJS and Webinale, IPC is part of Agentic Web Week Munich, preparing and guiding you for the next era of AI-native web development.

The Tracks

Sessions are grouped into eight tracks, so you can get a sense of the spread before any of the talks are announced:

  • PHP Coding & Frameworks
  • Web Development beyond PHP
  • Software Architecture & Design
  • Performance Optimization for PHP
  • PHP & Web Security
  • DevOps & CI/CD
  • Agile Workflows & Productivity
  • Future Trends & AI in PHP

Workshops and the Bootcamp

The workshop days on October 26 and 30 are full-day, separately ticketed sessions. The ones listed so far include Event-based Observability, Modern TypeScript, PHP Full-stack Security, and Architectural Roleplay.

New this year is an AI Agents Bootcamp that runs across October 29 and 30. It's a full-stack track built around agent development in TypeScript rather than PHP, so it's worth reading the outline before you buy if PHP is what you came for.

The Program Is Still Filling In

Speakers and session titles aren't published yet. The program page says it plainly:

The program is taking shape. Check back regularly as we continue to add new sessions, workshops, and speakers.

So the tracks and the workshop lineup are what you have to go on right now. If you want to pick sessions before committing, waiting is reasonable. If you're going regardless, the pricing below argues for booking sooner.

Tickets

Early bird pricing runs until August 20, which is two weeks out. At those rates a 2-day pass starts at €839, a 3-day pass at €1,219, a 4-day pass with a free workshop day at €1,439, and the bootcamp plus two conference days at €1,529. A single workshop day starts at €469. All prices are plus VAT, and there's a 10% team discount when you buy three or more tickets.
