Five days of PHP and web development in a Munich hotel, on site or online: workshops on 26 and 30 October, three conference days on 27 to 29 October with an expo on 27 and 28 October, and a two-day agent development bootcamp.
International PHP Conference (IPC) is a conference for PHP and web developers, architects and IT professionals, run in two annual editions, Berlin in June and Munich in October. The Munich 2026 edition runs from 26 to 30 October at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre. It offers full-day workshops, three conference days of parallel sessions and keynotes, an expo, and a two-day bootcamp, with live streaming for remote participants. The organiser lists eight tracks: PHP coding and frameworks, web development beyond PHP, agile workflows and productivity, software architecture and design, DevOps and CI/CD, PHP and web security, future trends and AI in PHP, and performance optimisation for PHP. The 2026 edition is marketed as part of Agentic Web Week Munich, together with the International JavaScript Conference (iJS) and webinale.
26 to 30 October 2026. Holiday Inn Munich City Centre, Hochstrasse 3, 81669 Munich, Germany. Workshop days are Monday 26 and Friday 30 October, from 9:00 to 16:00 CET. Main conference days are Tuesday 27 to Thursday 29 October, from 9:00 to 17:00 CET, and the expo runs on 27 and 28 October. The front desk opens at 8:00 for badge pick-up. The hotel has 18 meeting rooms with space for up to 550 guests. The organiser's FAQ prints the year of the conference days as 2025, which is a typo against the ticket page and home page.
Software & Support Media GmbH, trading as S&S Media, Hanauer Landstrasse 182, 60314 Frankfurt, Germany (Frankfurt commercial register HRB 40312, managing director Pouya Kamali-Loibl, according to the imprint). The conference is sold and streamed through the organiser's devmio platform (devm.io), which also runs a Fullstack subscription for recordings and articles. The terms of participation describe IPC as a private event of S&S Media. Contact: the IPC team through the contact page, and customer service at customerservice@devm.io.
Not publicly disclosed: no attendance figure for the Munich 2026 edition is published. The home page gives audience shares without a year or edition: senior developers and full-stack developers 47%, software developers 41%, software engineers and architects 12%, and 91% developers overall. It also claims more than 14,000 PHP and web developers in the organiser's community, 25 years of PHP community presence and more than 45 speakers (all organiser figures, unaudited). The sponsor page says the series has reached more than 35,000 professionals across more than 15 years of PHP events. The organiser describes the audience as senior, hands-on PHP developers, backend engineers, architecture and DevOps teams, mainly in the DACH region and beyond.
Three things are marked on the organiser's pages. IPC is part of Agentic Web Week Munich with iJS and webinale, and an Agentic Web Week upgrade is sold at 299 EUR. A bootcamp on professional agent development with LangChain (Nir Kaufman, Tikal) is labelled new, and the programme leans towards AI topics, such as building a measurable RAG pipeline and evaluating agentic command line tools. The 5-day pass now includes 12 months of devmio Fullstack access and 6 months of session recordings. A year-over-year change in size cannot be stated, because no attendance figure is published.
Four strands across the week.
Keynotes, parallel sessions of about 50 minutes, six-hour workshops with interactive live coding (limited places, pre-selection, not recorded), two-day bootcamps limited to 25 participants, and an evening programme of late-night sessions, expo receptions and jogging groups. The organiser's data lists full-day workshops on 26 and 30 October, conference sessions and expo on 27 and 28 October, and 2-day bootcamps. Sessions are live-streamed and recorded for both on-site and online participants. Workshops and bootcamps can also be taken online, except the two workshops marked on site only.
All prices are in euros and exclude VAT. On-site list prices: 5-day pass 1,999 EUR, 3-day pass 1,554 EUR, 2-day pass 1,154 EUR, workshop day 677 EUR, bootcamp plus two conference days 1,999 EUR, bootcamp plus two conference days plus a workshop day 2,199 EUR. The page headlines lower "from" prices of 1,799, 1,399, 1,039 and 609 EUR, and its footnote says they include the 10% team discount for three or more tickets; the arithmetic matches (1,999 less 10% is 1,799), so the crossed-out figure appears to be the single-ticket price (unverifiable information). Remote list prices: 5-day pass 1,599 EUR, 3-day 1,199 EUR, 2-day 888 EUR, workshop day 543 EUR (team-discount "from" prices 1,439, 1,079, 799 and 489 EUR). The 5-day pass includes 12 months of devmio Fullstack access and 6 months of recordings. Freelancers and employees of scientific institutions can request individual offers. The early-bird rates that ended on 16 July 2026 are no longer shown, and the earlier "4-day pass" no longer appears: the pass structure is now 5-day, 3-day and 2-day. The iJS add-on is 300 EUR and the Agentic Web Week upgrade 299 EUR.
No open call for papers is published for the 2026 Munich edition on the pages read, and the program is already online with its speaker line-up. The home page names Sebastian Meyen (devm.io) as conference programme chair, and an advisory board page exists. Speakers who want to propose a talk for a later edition should write to the IPC team through the contact page; the process for later editions was not found. Not publicly disclosed whether speakers receive free tickets or fees.
The organiser runs a sponsor page with a downloadable prospectus and a form to talk to its partnership team. Sponsorship prices and tier names are not published on the page. The organiser pitches the expo (27 and 28 October) as a place for technical conversations with senior engineers, and offers technical contributions such as whitepapers and webinars as part of sponsorship. Sponsors can also take part in the organiser's year-round digital channels. The series reaches DACH-region developers and says it holds two editions a year.
Not publicly disclosed in text. The sponsors and exhibitors page showed no sponsor logos for Munich 2026 when read on 20 October 2026, and its page title still said 2025. It lists the organiser, devmio, and two media partners, German Tech Jobs and Digital Expert, without saying for which edition (unverifiable information). Speaker employers on the programme include MongoDB, thePHP.cc, Kombo.dev, Storyblok, Les-Tilleuls.coop and Tikal, but a speaking slot does not mean sponsorship.
Not publicly disclosed as a breakdown of companies. The organiser publishes only job-level shares (47% senior and full-stack developers, 41% software developers, 12% engineers and architects). Speaker employers are mostly consultancies, small software firms, freelancers and a few product companies.
Not publicly disclosed. No press accreditation page or press contact was found on the IPC site. The organiser lists a contact page and an organiser contact page, and its customer service address is customerservice@devm.io.
None found for the 2026 Munich edition in the sourced material. The IPC site carries sponsor testimonials without names and whitepapers published by the organiser itself, which are not press coverage.
Nothing to classify as independent coverage. All claims found (community size, audience shares, years of experience) come from the organiser's own pages and are unaudited. The speaker count is the clearest case: an earlier record listed 239 speakers, but the current home page says more than 45, and the 239 figure could not be confirmed.
Developers who work outside PHP and the web stack, unless they want the TypeScript, Angular and AI sessions. Buyers who need a large exhibition: the expo runs on two days and no sponsor list is published. Anyone who wants a refund or a transfer now: the last date for cancelling was 24 September 2026. Anyone hoping to catch the workshops afterwards: workshops are not recorded. Speakers who want to submit for this edition: no call is open.
It is the autumn edition of IPC, after the Berlin edition held on 8 to 12 June 2026. The Munich week is shared with iJS and webinale under the name Agentic Web Week Munich, and two of its five days are workshop or bootcamp days. It is a PHP-focused event with a growing AI track, not an AI-first conference.
Yes, IPC has a sister edition in Berlin, held on 8 to 12 June 2026, and the organiser says it holds two editions a year. Munich is the October edition. The Berlin edition has a separate site section, ticket page and German-language version.
The organiser's site is available in English and German, and the programme titles are in English. The language of each individual session is not stated on the pages read (unverifiable information). The database records German and English.
Yes. Remote tickets give live streaming of all sessions, live chat, real-time questions to speakers and polls through the organiser's web platform and app. All conference sessions are recorded. The home page says recordings are available through the app until the end of the last conference day, while the ticket pages say the 5-day pass includes 6 months of recording access and Fullstack subscribers can watch recordings for up to six months. Slides are available within a few days after the event and a participation certificate one week after. Workshops are not recorded.
Cancellation of an IPC Munich booking was possible until 24 September 2026 for a fee of 150 EUR; after that date cancellation is not possible and the full fee is due. If the conference does not take place, fees are refunded and no other claims are accepted; if it is delayed, registrations stay valid. The organiser may change the programme, and a workshop ticket entitles the holder to a place in an available workshop on that day, not to a specific workshop. The participation fee is due after billing and must be paid before the conference. Card payments are processed by Stripe.
The location page states that the venue is step-free accessible. The FAQ says conferences are held in centrally located venues with full accessibility. No further detail was found, such as seating, assistive listening or sign language. The location page also carries public transport directions for Berlin (Friedrichstrasse, Tegel, Schoenefeld), which do not apply to Munich. A code of conduct is published on the IPC site.
The hotel is at Hochstrasse 3, 81669 Munich, directly above Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn station. The organiser gives 10 minutes by train to Munich Hauptbahnhof and 35 minutes to Munich Airport (MUC), and says the Deutsches Museum is a short walk away. The hotel telephone is +49 89 4803-0. Rooms can be booked through the organiser's hotel booking page, which links to the hotel's own site.
Because the week is built around practitioners' training, not an exhibition: two six-hour workshop days, a two-day bootcamp limited to 25 places, three conference days with six to eight parallel sessions each, and speakers who maintain tools such as PHPUnit. Every ticket also has an online version, and the 5-day pass adds six months of recordings. That mix suits a developer who wants depth and a team that cannot all travel, which is why the paid content, not the expo, is the reason to go.
Because the organiser publishes no attendance figure for the Munich edition, and the community, audience and reach numbers on its pages carry no year and no audit. The ticket page also shows crossed-out higher prices that it does not explain, and one record gave 239 speakers where the current home page says more than 45. Treat the dates and programme as organiser-stated, and reconfirm prices on the ticket page before booking.
