The Laravel Community Mobile App Helps You Discover Events and Connect With Developers
Published on by Eric L. Barnes
Laravel continues to grow with meetups, conferences, and community events happening all around the world. Keeping track of everything can be difficult as more local groups and regional events appear each year.
To help make this easier, the Laravel team has released a new Laravel Community mobile app designed to help developers discover events and connect with others in the community.
Discover Laravel Events Near You
One of the biggest features of the Laravel Community app is the ability to easily browse upcoming Laravel events.
Inside the app you can quickly see events happening around the world, including:
- Laracon conferences
- Laravel Live events
- Local community meetups
You can explore events by location or date, making it easier to find something happening near you or plan for upcoming conferences later in the year.
As the Laravel ecosystem continues to expand globally, this provides a simple way to stay informed about opportunities to meet other developers in person.
Get Notified When New Events Are Added
The app also includes notifications so you can stay up to date when new events are announced.
Instead of regularly checking websites or social media, the app will notify you when a new Laravel event is added. This helps ensure you do not miss out on meetups or conferences happening nearby.
For developers who enjoy attending events and networking with other developers, this feature helps keep you connected to the community.
Connect With Developers You Meet
Another useful feature in the app is the ability to connect with other Laravel developers you meet at events.
Each user has their own QR code profile that can be scanned by other attendees. When you meet someone at a conference or meetup, you can simply scan their code to quickly exchange contact information.
Profiles can include:
- Social media links
- Email contact information
- Other personal links
This makes it easier to keep track of the people you meet at conferences instead of trying to remember usernames or searching later.
Built for the Laravel Community
The Laravel Community app is designed to make it easier for developers to stay connected with everything happening in the ecosystem.
Whether you are attending large conferences like Laracon or smaller local meetups, the app provides a central place to discover events and connect with other members of the community.
