The International PHP Conference (IPC) Munich 2026 runs October 26 to 30, 2026 in Munich, or online. The expo is open October 27 and 28. It is a PHP and web development conference with an AI thread running through it: generative AI for web apps, modern architecture and DevOps (checked 2026-10-27, phpconference.com/munich). The conference is under way as of this listing.
zPlatform is an official media partner of this event, and no organiser paid for this listing. I run ZPlatform’s AI events hub, so I read the organiser’s own pages before writing anything here.
What IPC is
IPC is a long-established PHP conference from the same devmio publisher group as iJS and webinale. Its audience is PHP and backend developers, web engineers, architects and technical leads who run PHP applications in production. iJS, IPC and webinale together form Agentic Web Week Munich, three conferences in the same week (October 26-30), and the organiser sells an Agentic Web Week upgrade in the ticket shop after you pick your days.
The organiser’s framing for IPC inside that week is that modern PHP, backend engineering and software architecture are what make intelligent, scalable AI-native applications possible. In plain terms: the backend has to carry the AI features the frontend promises.
Tracks at IPC Munich 2026
| Track | Focus |
|---|---|

| Web Development beyond PHP | Adjacent web technologies |
| Agile Workflows & Productivity | Team practice and delivery |

The organiser’s four headline themes are mastering PHP (code smarter, perform faster, scale bigger), web development craft and security, innovating with generative AI in web apps, and architecting the future in PHP with DevOps and collaboration.

My go-or-skip framing
Go if PHP is your production language and you want one week that mixes framework depth with architecture, DevOps and a realistic look at adding AI features to a PHP stack.
Skip it if you are not on PHP or the web backend. If your interest is AI itself rather than the web stack around it, look through ZPlatform’s AI events hub for something more AI-centred. With the conference already running, the remote ticket is the practical option for most people reading this now.
