SyliusCon - the 1st ever conference dedicated to Sylius

On 27 October 2022, the first-ever conference fully dedicated to Sylius will take place.

Sylius is an e-commerce technology originally created in Lodz, Poland. Over 7,000 programmers around the world have already starred Sylius on GitHub and it is actively used as an e-commerce engine in over 2,500 online shops, including top brands such as Forbes, Dr. Oetker, Carrefour Group, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Sylius is an open-source, e-commerce framework 100% based on Symfony from the very beginning of its existence. Since pre-alpha edition in 2010 and Symfony 2 until now - Sylius 1.12 supporting Symfony 6. The solution fits best to mid- and enterprise-level businesses that wish to gain ownership of the code and freedom in further scalability. It provides a complete set of tools to design advanced web and mobile applications.

The community around the product has been growing steadily over the years to over 5,500 Slack users and 75+ partners on board. The organizers will welcome over 200 people, an among them:
