Talks:
1. Topic: PHP Fibers: simplifying async code and speeding up development
Speaker: Max Fomichev, Infrastructure Engineer at Manychat

About the Talk
We constantly search for creative ways to get maximum out of php, without bringing excessive complexity for our developers daily work. In this speech I'll sum up our way, describe where are we now in a bit, and share how we started to use fibers and asynchronous http requests to speed up both our code writing and execution, while avoiding excessive cognitive load for our developers dealing with "asynchronous" programming.

About the Speaker
Max has decades of experience in IT, primarily focused on programming in PHP and running Unix servers. For the past six years, he has been working at Manychat, a leading chat-marketing platform, where I combine the roles of an Infrastructure Engineer, SRE, and developer, optimizing systems and ensuring reliability.

2. Topic: PHP Performance Demystified - Measure, Understand, Optimize
Speaker: Volker Dusch, Head Of Engineering at Tideways, PHP 8.5 Release Manager

About the Talk
In this talk, we'll explore options for PHP performance analysis. From understanding how the PHP virtual machine and OPCodes work, to performing your own reliable and meaningful benchmarks, and how to use request profiling using open-source and commercial offerings. You will leave with an overview of the available tools and an understanding of how to use them in your day-to-day. Learning how to spot bottlenecks and optimize them away efficiently and confidently.

About the Speaker
