What will the web look like in 10 years? Will it be open, fair, and sustainable - or fragmented, automated, and opaque? Aikaterine Tsiboukas moderates Sebastian Bergmann, Derick Rethans, Ondřej Mirtes, and Sachiko Muto to explore how today’s decisions are shaping the web of tomorrow.
Whether you’re a developer, marketer, agency executive, or a policy thinker this session will offer predictions about how AI, regulation, and decentralization will shape the next decade, insights into the future of software development, ethics, and standards, and a rare crossover between policy, tooling, and real-world developer experience.
This isn’t a look back, it’s a challenge to look forward. Join us as we peer into the near future of the internet and ask: What kind of web do we want to build?
I most recently presented “The Web in 2035: A Keynote Panel on the Future of the Web” at DrupalCon on in Vienna.
I present this together with Aikaterine Tsiboukas, Sachiko Muto, Derick Rethans, and Ondřej Mirtes.
I am Sebastian Bergmann. I started writing PHPUnit in 2000 and still maintain it. In the same year I gave my first talk at a PHP conference. As a co-founder of thePHP.cc, I help teams in training courses and through consulting and coaching with everything related to PHPUnit, with quality gates for working with LLM-based coding agents, and with supply chain security.
I helped start the PHP Foundation and serve on its board. I have also represented the interests of Open Source at the European Commission and am active in the Open Source working group of the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik).
Where you can meet me next is listed under events. The next dates of my training courses are in the training overview.
On , I will be in Frankfurt am Main at the PIMCORE Community Dev Days. There I will give the presentation “Speed is a byproduct of trust”.
