PHPers is one of the largest PHP developer communities in Poland — a network of meetups running in cities including Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław, Poznań, and Trójmiasto. Each chapter brings together local PHP developers for talks, discussions, and networking around the PHP ecosystem.

On 27 July 2015, the first PHPers meetup in Toruń took place — and I had the pleasure of co-organising it. Starting a new city chapter meant establishing a regular meeting place for PHP developers in the region, at Kraina Piva, Toruń.

Organising community events like this is something I value alongside day-to-day development work. Building a local developer network means better knowledge sharing and a more active local tech scene.
