@ryan what about taking part as a speaker on such events to make PW more popular?

Oh dang, that was yesterday. Did you get to participate, @bernhard? The FrankenPHP and Building MCP Servers With PHP sessions looked intriguing, and I always enjoy hearing Jeffrey Way speak.

The entire PHPVerse has been recorded, and PHPVerse 2025 is now available on YouTube. If you, like me, were interested in the two portions above, they're also broken down into their unique segments (for far less overall watching time):

• FrankenPHP
• Building MCP Servers with PHP

Thanks again for sharing this, Bernhard!
