Two Three days. Real-world trade-offs. Meaningful breaks.
As tools accelerate and workflows shift, depth matters more than ever.
Laracon AU 2026 reflects the evolving landscape of software development, with new workshops, deeper technical sessions and a more accessible program designed for practitioners at every stage of their journey.
2026 is a more technical year - by design. As tools accelerate and workflows shift, depth matters more than ever. This year's program leans into:
This year's program is curated with talks that go deeper, while remaining accessible to developers at every stage of their journey. We bring insight, innovation, and conversation around categories relevant to our evolving community:
Expect sessions that will stretch your thinking, sessions you can apply immediately, and conversations that continue long after the slides disappear.
New for 2026, our Day 0 workshops are designed for focused, hands-on learning.
Choose from two half-day sessions - morning and afternoon - and spend time diving deep into real-world problems alongside experienced Laravel practitioners.
Expect practical guidance, working examples, and the space to explore ideas in more depth than a conference talk allows.
Workshops can be booked individually or combined for a full day of learning.
