I had the honour of doing a short talk on snapshot testing in PHP, which you can watch below.
This timeless talk by Matt Stauffer given at Laracon EU 2015 is one of the very best I ever saw.

Below you can see the talk titled "Abusing Laravel for Fun and Profit" by David Hemphill
Laracon US was held in July 2018 at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. I had the pleasure of speaking at the conference. You can watch my talk on v7 of our medialibrary below. Though there isn't a playlist to hold them yet, you can view recordings of all other talks on the StreamACon…
Here's an amazing talk by "Uncle" Bob Martin where he gives an amazing overview of the history of programming and where he thinks it's headed.
How did our industry start, what paths did it take to get to where we are, and where is it going. What big problems did programmers encounter in the past? How were they solved? And how do those solutions impact our future? What mistakes have we made as a profession; and how are we going to correct them. In this talk, Uncle Bob describes the history of software, from it’s beginnings in 1948 up through the current day; and then beyond. By looking at our past trajectory, we try to plot out where our profession is headed, and what challenges we’ll face along the way.
Can't wait for his talk at this year's Laracon US.
Laracon EU 2017 was, like the previous years, an excellent event. Together with 700+ fellow artisans I very much enjoyed watching the talks and meeting people between them. All video's of this edition have recently been made available on YouTube. Here's a handy playlist that contains them all.
I had the honor of speaking at the event as well, here's the video of my talk:
Devron Baldwin wrote down a few words on the excellent Laracon EU conference, edition 2017.
The awesome talks and the amazing people made Laracon EU 2017 an experience to remember. I’ll split this up into a few sections to talk about the non-technical and the technical talks. I found myself enjoying the non-technical talks slightly more than the technical this year.

I can't believe it' already over and am already looking forward to Laracon EU 2018.
Laracon US 2017 was an amazing conference. Sid published this excellent recap that contains many links to slides and related content.
I attended my first Laracon in person and I have to say I really enjoyed the experience — maybe more than I expected to. It was well organised and the talks were diverse, informative and actionable. Day 1 was all technical and mostly revolved around Laravel. Day 2 had a different mix of talks and the non-technical ones were thought-provoking and entertaining.

This year's Laracon EU was an amazing conference. The venue was astonishing, there were lots of cool talks and interesting people to talk to. If you're using Laravel or PHP going to this conference really is a no brainer.
If you were unable to attend or want to see the talk you missed during the conference you can now do so. The organisers have uploaded video's of all talks to their YouTube channel.
I had the honor speaking there as well. My talk was about managing backups with Laravel. Here's the video of my first ever conference talk:
At one point during my talk I show this slide on future plans for the package:
I'm proud to say that all that work is already done: version 3 of laravel-backup was made Laravel 5.3 compatible. Version 4 of the package uses Laravel 5.3's native notifications and uses PHP 7 features to keep the code clear. The db-dumper package, which is used under the hood, was rewritten and is now easier to use.
I'll definitely go to the next Laracon EU conference and hope to see you there too.
Here's Simon Nicklin's recap of day two of the excellent Laracon EU conference: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/laracon-eu-2016-conference-day-2-simon-nicklin
Personally I had a great time at Laracon. I couldn't relax that good until after I delivered my own talk. Luckily it went well and I got some good feedback. It was very good to see both new and familiar faces. Most talks were excellent, and the venue was amazing. Just look at this picture:
I'll be sure to attend next year's Laracon!
