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.
My name is Sebastian Bergmann, and I have been working as a software developer and consultant in the PHP ecosystem for over 25 years. I support development teams in creating better software through modern practices, tools and training.
I am deeply committed to Open Source, maintain critical Open Source projects in the PHP ecosystem, and help shape the work of the PHP Foundation as a member of its board. I have also represented the interests of Open Source at the European Commission and am active in the Open Source Working Group ("Arbeitskreis Open Source Software") of the German Informatics Society ("Gesellschaft für Informatik").
I live and breathe Open Source and help shape how developers around the world test, write, and maintain their code.
