- What will the web look like in 10 years?

Will it be open, fair, and sustainable - or fragmented, automated, and opaque?

Join us for a keynote panel, moderated by Aikaterine Tsiboukas, “The Web in 2035”, where four thought leaders will explore how today’s decisions are shaping the web of tomorrow.

- Meet the Panelists

We’ve assembled a unique mix of engineers and advocates - each with a deep stake in the web’s future:

Sebastian Bergmann
Creator of PHPUnit and advocate for sustainable software practices in the PHP ecosystem.

Derick Rethans
Core PHP contributor and expert in standards and low-level web infrastructure, creator of Xdebug.

Ondřej Mirtes
Creator of PHPStan, a leading static analysis tool, pushing for developer-friendly correctness and maintainability.

Sachiko Muto
Chair of OpenForum Europe and policy strategist, driving open-source and digital sovereignty conversations at the European level.

- Together, they’ll tackle the big questions:
How do we balance innovation with responsibility? What role will open source play in 2035? How do we ensure that the web remains a space for everyone - not just for those who control the infrastructure?

Whether you’re a developer, marketer, agency executive, or a policy thinker this session has something to offer you:

Predictions about how AI, regulation, and decentralization will shape the next decade

Insights into the future of software development, ethics, and standards

A rare crossover between policy, tooling, and real-world developer experience

This isn’t a look back, it’s a challenge to look forward.
If you care about:
Open source and its long-term sustainability

Developer tools and the people behind them

Ethical design, digital sovereignty, or AI's role on the web

…then you’ll want a front-row seat for this discussion. Join us as we peer into the near future of the internet and ask: What kind of web do we want to build?
