@LaraconUS @TightenCo That's how the @LarabellesPHP Day 0 event at this summer's Laracon US came about, co-hosted by @Geocodio and @TightenCo, with the enthusiastic support of Laravel.

@LaraconUS @TightenCo @LarabellesPHP @Geocodio Hope to see you at the Larabelles Day 0 event at Laracon US, sponsored by @Geocodio and @TightenCo!

Looking for a reason to attend Laracon US? We just updated our site with 5 more: our side events!

We have something for everyone. 🧵

Laracon US is gonna be a blast 💥

The "official" unofficial Day 3 of Laracon US 2026

😉

Excited for Laracon US in Boston.
Signed up. 🎫
Thanks to @PovilasKorop for the heads up.

@_newtonjob Nice video.

I have not attended Laracon US, but I still found myself in this video.

@PovilasKorop And i truely admire your everyday efforts to php community.
You deserve these things man and huge congrats for Laracon US selection and i again repeat you deserve it for this stage and you earned it from the love of the community🎉

Traducción@PovilasKorop Y admiro de verdad tus esfuerzos diarios por la comunidad php.
Te mereces estas cosas, tío, y enormes felicitaciones por la selección para Laracon US, y repito otra vez que te lo mereces para este escenario y te lo has ganado por el cariño de la comunidad🎉

@FrameworkPuter I "need" my pro for #LaraconUS in July so I can get stickers and flex on the Mac devs

#batch7

@RyanYannelli @laravelphp @taylorotwell @LaraconUS Congrats on winning the Laracon US ticket! I'll see you in Boston 🎉

Me and the boys pulling up to Laracon US.

sorry, no pest spoilers before laracon us.. however, it will be the biggest pest release ever (even bigger than pest 4)

@IanLandsman Let's connect. No strings attached.
I have a couple of hours available.
I attended Laracon US 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017

@jamesqquick @Cloudflare This was my first Laravel project. The whole Idea was a talk I submitted to Laracon US last year. It was rejected. Still think it would be a meaningful project. Just don't want to go broke hosting it.

@LeahTCodes And so it begins... 😂 If you can get your hands on a spare ElePHPant from Laracon US 2023 (Aubrey), I'd be happy to trade with you!

There's actually a nice community over at where you can find trade partners and document your collection!

Very VERY important tweet.

If you keep doing something VALUABLE and if you are VISIBLE to the community, you never know what opportunities from the community may turn up.

My version of this: I never imagined speaking at Laracon US. And it finally will happen this Summer.

The Road to Laracon US: Speaker Spotlight continues.

@mattkingshott I haven't dealt with any issues myself but at Laracon US last year I met someone from support who told there were 15 people in just support team at the time.

I'm looking forward to attend Laracon US!

It will be my first time attending and given that this is a big one, I'm feeling quite overwhelmed at the thought of it.

But tickets are booked so got no choice lol

Two weeks to go until Laracon US!

I've built an app which lets you add the schedule to your calendar, including the day 0 events. 📅

Handy whether you're there in-person or watching along online!

Laracon US 2026 is only 2 weeks away — Boston, July 28–29. Taylor Otwell, Aaron Francis, Nuno Maduro & more on the lineup. If you're shipping Laravel this year, this is the room to be in. Who else is going?

@simonhamp @LaraconUS I won’t be at laracon us this year but I’m seriously considering buying it

Since you haven't seen me in a while, here is what I've been up to:

- Still running Laravel News -
- Working with @davidhemphill to launch PushSilver -
- Will be at Laracon US doing interviews

A few more things in the works. Also golf. 🏌️‍♂️

Happy Friday! 🌞

Getting deep into Laracon US prep. Only one week left until I’m headed to Boston for Laracon 🎉

Can we skip to the good part!

Cannot wait a week for Laracon US!

One more week 'til #LaraconUS!

One week to Laracon US.

One week until #LaraconUS 🚀🤘

@PovilasKorop @LaraconUS What a plot twist, I thought you can go over to daily business now. But hey, it‘s Laracon US so it‘s worth it.

And AFTER it‘s back to daily business.

Come and say hi to Nate at the Bifrost booth at Voxacon, the virtual Laracon US!

Puzzles, watch party and sponsors. Really cool project by Tighten 🤯

Coming to Laracon US?

If you're going to be at Laracon US next week, comment below. Let's meet in person.

Tell us what you're building, what's frustrating you about AI tools, or just say hi.

We'd rather have real conversations with Laravel developers than hand out flyers.

Going to Laracon US and like ice cream? 🍦

Geocodio + Tighten are co-hosting an ice cream social on Day 2 during lunch. First 500 people to get a stamp at both booths get 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺.

Find us, get your stamps, and grab your ice cream!

🥇 @TightenCo has just unveiled Voxacon, an absolutely wild multiplayer 3D voxel recreation of the Laracon US 2026 venue at SoWa Power Station. This isn't just another conference puzzle - it's a fully explorable digital twin featuring eight puzzles, sponsor booths, world-building capabilities, and even a virtual watch party for those who can't make it in person. The ambition here is staggering: transforming the traditional Laracon puzzle into something the entire community can enjoy before, during, and after the conference.

@mattstauffer

🥈 If you've ever wrestled with the classic top-N-per-group problem in MySQL, @shocm has written the practical guide you've been waiting for. He demonstrates how to use LATERAL derived tables to fetch each author's three most recent articles in a single query, eliminating N+1 problems without the overhead of window functions. This is the kind of database optimisation that immediately pays dividends in real-world applications.

@shocm

🥉 @mattstauffer sits down with @taylorotwell to discuss why Laravel and AI pair so naturally together, diving into the concept of "vibe-coding" and exploring why the framework's opinionated, batteries-included philosophy makes it ideal when AI writes the code. They also talk about Laravel Boost and discuss how the biggest shift in programming has already happened - a fascinating conversation about where we're headed.

@mattstauffer @taylorotwell

4️⃣ Ever wondered why PHP's JIT compiler sometimes loses performance when processing arrays? This exploration examines how the tracing JIT mechanism handles array operations and its profiling behaviour, shedding light on one of the more mysterious aspects of PHP's performance characteristics.

5️⃣ Laravel Cloud or Private Cloud - what's the difference and which should you choose for your next project? @jbrooksuk and @dgarbs51_ walk through the key distinctions and make the case for when Private Cloud might be the better fit for your build.

James Brooks

6️⃣ @wendell_adriel has written a comprehensive deep dive into PHP attributes, covering what they are, why they're useful, and when you should reach for them. From basic attribute anatomy to practical implementation examples - including Laravel integration and best practices for metaprogramming in modern PHP - this is your complete guide to one of PHP's most powerful features.

@wendell_adriel

7️⃣ @ProjektGopher is back with another edition of This Week In PHP Internals, covering Pipe Assignment, Strict Namespace, and Serializable controllers amongst the latest RFC and discussion topics. If you want to stay current with what's happening at the language level, this series is essential viewing.

@ProjektGopher

8️⃣ @JustSteveKing delivers a masterclass in building bulletproof Laravel APIs using schema-first contract validation. He demonstrates how JSON Schema contracts can prevent common pitfalls like undocumented endpoints and mass assignment vulnerabilities by validating both incoming requests and outgoing responses against a single source of truth - proper API design in action.

@JustSteveKing

9️⃣ Building a secure webhook endpoint can be daunting - where do you start, how do you make it secure, and how do you handle duplicate requests? @shocm has your back with this comprehensive guide to building a secure webhook receiver in Laravel that handles all these concerns.

@shocm

🔟 HackerNoon scored at 151 on their Proof of Usefulness algorithm, and Daniel Petrica breaks down exactly what that means. The algorithm judges projects across six dimensions: real world utility, audience reach, technical innovation, traction, market timing, and functional completeness, with a usefulness multiplier on top. Here's the full breakdown of where LaraPlugins stands and what it says about the project's trajectory.

Sad to be missing Laracon US this year. Wishing everyone an incredible week full of great talks and catch-ups. I’ll be watching along from Australia (and cooking some new features for Cloud 😘)

All these tweets of folks making their way to Boston for #LaraconUS. I still gotta get to Vancouver, fly home, then head to Boston Monday.
Hopefully get rid of this cold between now and then, too. 😅

@simonhamp Deploy than go for a transatlantic flight to Laracon US

Boston here we come! #laracon

Laracon US hits Boston July 28-29. Taylor Otwell, Aaron Francis, Nuno Maduro headline. My first Laravel job was v4 in 2016, still my default for anything with real business logic. What's kept you on it this long?

I built Laracon US attendees a free mobile schedule for #LaraconUS :

Every talk plus the Day 0 socials. Star your favorites, RSVP links built in, or paste the whole list into AI and ask it what to attend.

No app, no login.

Built it with AI in about an hour - scraper, parser, mobile page. #laracon

Last night @IanLandsman, the Laravel team, and I hosted a prom in a high school gym for all the Laracon US attendees!

My beautiful date flew up from Dallas just for the party 😍😍

Laracon US day 1 stream 👇

Taylor Otwell has a full hour for “Laravel Updates” today.

My Laracon US predictions:

• non-PHP services on Cloud
• Boost learns your app’s conventions
• AI SDK gets approvals + native vector search
• Pest 5 makes big test suites dramatically faster
Which one ages worst?

@LaraconUS starts today!🇺🇸

I won't be there personally, but our team will be representing @laracopilot as a Silver Sponsor.

If you're attending, stop by the booth, try @laracopilot, and tell us what you'd love to see next.

One upside of not being at #laraconUS is that I actually get to watch the talks in full 😂. When I’m at a conference, I never watch the talks because I can either talk to people or watch the talks, but not both.

Still have FOMO but I had to find a silver lining, didn’t I? 🙃

Day 1 of Laracon US is over. But the party isn’t. Make sure you head over to the after party to connect and network with likeminded individuals! 🫶🏻

🚨 @laravel just dropped @laravel LSP at Laracon US 2026, and it looks huge.

A first-party language server for @laravel means smarter autocomplete, hovers, diagnostics, go-to definition, and framework-aware editor magic across tools like Neovim, Zed, Cursor, Sublime, VS Code, and more. 🔥

This is a massive DX win for the entire @laravel ecosystem. @taylorotwell

This is HUGE!
Will review on my channel when back from Laracon US.

Random conversation at Laracon US.

Me asking: So what do you feel about our dev jobs in the future?

A friend: we'll be fine, we'll just be doing a different job. We'll be technical problem solvers.

And I thought: how poetic.

TECHNICAL. PROBLEM. SOLVERS.
Love this term.

Filament tip coming straight from Laracon US by @PovilasKorop 💪

A month ago, we lost our sweet cat Buster Bean.

I decided to make my Tighten Voxacon puzzle with his favorite things and show people lots of handsome pictures of him.

Thanks to everyone at #laracon who stopped in to Bean’s Place this week 💜

Taylor Otwell announced Laravel LSP at Laracon US 2026, a first-party language server that brings framework-aware intelligence to any editor. It indexes your project and provides completions, diagnostics, and go-to definition for config keys, routes, views, translations, middleware, container bindings, and Eloquent. It speaks the Language Server Protocol over stdio, so it works with Sublime Text, Zed, VS Code, Cursor, Neovim, and OpenCode. Developers on non-VS Code editors have relied on community projects for this kind of Laravel-specific autocomplete. Laravel LSP moves that into official support.

The same day, the Model Context Protocol released its 2026-07-28 specification, introducing a stateless protocol core, an extensions framework, tasks, and authorization hardening. Anthropic confirmed Claude will support the new spec, and Netlify said the stateless core makes MCP a first-class HTTP workload with no session management overhead.

Both releases point to the same trend: developer tooling is becoming standardized and interoperable. Laravel LSP uses LSP, the established standard for editor intelligence. MCP 2026-07-28 is becoming the standard for how AI agents connect to tools and services. The web development ecosystem is maturing from proprietary integrations to open protocols.

InfiniStrategy take: Standards win. The frameworks and tools that adopt open protocols like LSP and MCP will integrate with everything. The ones that build walled gardens will become isolated. For web developers, choosing tools that speak the common language of the ecosystem is a long-term productivity decision.

Congrats to @DevelopItWright - our Laracon US booth giveaway winner!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth this week!!!

#LaraconUS #Laravel #PHP

🧩 #Laravel LSP announced at #LaraconUS 2026: a first-party language server that teaches your editor about your app #PHP #opensource

Config keys, route names, view paths, translations, middleware aliases and container bindings become real editor knowledge

⚡ Type config('app.time and get completions with resolved values shown inline (app.timezone → UTC). A wrong key surfaces instantly as a diagnostic: "Config [ap] not found."

🎯 Coverage spans routes, Blade views, translations, config, env vars, assets & Mix, middleware, #Inertia, #Livewire, auth & policies, container bindings, validation rules, controller actions and #Eloquent.

🔗 Document links make view('orders.index') and route('') clickable, and the same index backs go-to definition, which is enabled by default.

🔧 composer global require laravel/lsp

Requires PHP 8.2+, ships prebuilt binaries for macOS, Linux (arm64/x64) and Windows x64.

🖥️ Speaks LSP over stdio, so any editor with an LSP client works: #SublimeText, #Zed, #VSCode, #Cursor, #Neovim and #OpenCode. Official extensions handle the wiring; Neovim and OpenCode need a few config lines.

PHPxNYC, the unofficial Laracon US speaker incubator, has produced another champion @dgarbs51_ just gave the talk I’ve wanted to hear for ages

Second city -> snl wishes they had as much brainpower

##LaraconUS ship it!!!!

@adamwathan @taylorotwell @willking

#LaraconUS it's a wrap.... see you all next year!!

If you missed @joetannenbaum's Laracon US talk do yourself a favour and hit up the Livestream... Dude's a madman 🤠

I joined Laravel 6 months ago.
Since then I had attended @LaraconEU as a speaker, @LaravelLiveUK as a speaker and now @LaraconUS as a Crew member.

I’m so happy to have this opportunity of working in a company I wanted to join for a long time, and some months ago this came true!

And it’s amazing to work with so many amazing people! I already had met some of them before, but in Laracon US I had the opportunity to meet many more, and every single one is incredibly talented, inspiring and friendly!

That’s a wrap for Laracon US! 🎉
A huge thanks to everyone who visited us at SoWa Power Station.
Until next time!

#LaraconUS2026 #PhpStorm

So happy I can’t even put it into words—my first #Laracon is officially over! 🙌✨ I’m feeling incredibly grateful for everyone who made it happen.

Closing out Laracon US with @laroymike pitching his Poker app to the “Ship or Die” judges, with an enthusiastic “SHIIIIIP IIIIT!” from Business Dad @IanLandsman out here in the crowd

@CodingWisely @joshcirre We missed you at Laracon US! 😭🫶🫶

Finally, my neovim setup is complete

#LaraconUS

And that’s a wrap on Laracon US 2026 🎉

What a great day 2! There were so many great talks!

Plus @joshcirre and I had the honor of celebrating our community during the Community Updates talk we did 🙌

I have to admit, I'm terrified of public speaking, but with Simona Keburys' encouragement, I pushed through it.

As AI keeps getting better and better, I realize that being able to tell a story is no longer optional. It's a skill you have to develop. And I'm willing to keep putting myself in front of a crowd if that's what it takes to get better.

Could it have gone smoother? Absolutely.
But there's always room for improvement.

@aarondfrancis is simply the best. I knew he would come to the rescue if I blanked out. I have tremendous respect for people who can communicate so effortlessly, and Aaron is on another level.

@PovilasKorop also gave an excellent talk at #Laracon US. It's always amazing to see a fellow Lithuanian receive the recognition he deserves. Truly inspirational. Well done!

Finally, a huge thank you to Matheus Martins for creating the beautiful slides, and to Rodrigo Gnoatto Amaral for continuing to ship features and bug fixes that make GoTherapy better every day.

@laravel Will (or When will) Laracon US 2026 talks be available on YouTube ?

By any chance Laracon US stream will be up anytime soon?

Laracon US 2026: A Complete Wrap Up

Laracon US is a wrap!!!

The biggest event I've ever planned:

3 days, 1,000 attendees, from 41 countries & 44 states, + 75 Laravel crew.

There's no playbook for an event like @LaraconUS , but here are a few things I did & learned:

@jessethanley @IanLandsman Man you gotta come to Laracon US next year

just got to catch-up with Laracon US 2026 - Congratulations @aarondfrancis, VP Marketing & Community!

I've made the code for my talk at Laracon US public: (slides + remote control) (attendee view)

Heavy Claude assist on this, was going to hand craft the whole thing but life was really life-ing in the 6 weeks leading up to the conference

So not quite the way I would have written this myself, but did the job for the talk. Hope it helps!

I'm convinced we're living through software's golden age, and last week's Laracon US 2026 is why. AI does the typing. Laravel removes the friction. All built for how we work now.

Loading-in with Billy McCann from BM Productions working with @4Wall on Laracon US 2026 at the SoWa Power Station in Boston using a rig with @Robelighting FORTE & MegaPointe luminaires.

Reliving the Magic of Laracon US 2026 💫

Already shot 6 new YouTube videos since Laracon US, on all 4 channels.

Getting into the rhythm, but still soooo behind, with dozens of ideas in the to-do list.

And even more ideas coming every day.
What did you do to my brain, Laravel???!!!! :)

This picture sums up how I feel coming back from Laracon US ✨

I’m so thankful to work with such an incredible team and be part of such an amazing community

I still can’t believe I get paid to work with our community every day. Laravel forever 🫶🚀
