Join us for the Pimcore Community Dev Days 2026, an international, English-speaking developer event bringing together the Pimcore, Symfony and PHP communities for a full day of deep technical talks, hands-on sessions and networking.

This year's edition puts a strong focus on practical developer experience. Together with core contributors and industry experts, we'll explore Pimcore Studio, Symfony, modern PHP architectures and AI-assisted software development.

Expect real-world examples, live demonstrations, implementation strategies and lessons learned directly from the people building the technologies you use every day.

Whether you're a Pimcore developer, Symfony enthusiast or PHP architect, you'll leave with practical knowledge, fresh ideas and valuable connections across the European PHP ecosystem.

Attention: The Pimcore Partner Advisory Council takes place in parallel at the same venue. Both events run throughout the day, so participation in both is unfortunately not possible.

What can you expect?

• In-depth, hands-on sessions about Pimcore, PHP and modern Symfony development
• AI-assisted development: accelerating development without losing control
• Practical insights directly from Pimcore Core Developers, Symfony Core Developers and leading PHP experts
• 45-minute talks with Q&A and discussion
• Plenty of networking time during extended coffee and lunch breaks
• Coffee, tea, water, juices, soft drinks, fresh fruit, cereal bars and savoury snacks throughout the day

• Lunch buffet including water and soft drinks

• Optional Community Dinner on 9 November (6:30 PM) including buffet, drinks and informal networking
