Introduction
Laracon India 2027 is the official Laravel conference in India, and for 2027 it heads to the beach: the two day conference takes place on Saturday 20 March and Sunday 21 March 2027 at the Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort in Cavelossim, South Goa.
The event is run by a volunteer team backed by the Laravel community across India, and it is the fifth edition, following Ahmedabad, Udaipur and Gandhinagar.
Two speakers have already been announced for 2027, and the call for papers is open for more.
Event Overview
Laracon India 2027 runs on Saturday 20 March and Sunday 21 March 2027, from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM IST, at the Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort, Cavelossim Beach, Salcete, Cavelossim, Goa 403731.
The venue is a five star beachfront estate on Cavelossim beach, with low-rise villas under palms, two pools, three restaurants, two bars, a spa and the conference halls inside one gated campus.
Around the two days, the organisers have planned a Day 0 workshop day on Friday 19 March 2027, a VIP dinner that evening, and a Holi party on the morning of Monday 22 March 2027. Ticket sales open to the waitlist on Monday 16 November 2026 at 4:00 PM IST, and to everyone 24 hours later, with prices to be announced when sales open.
What to Expect
Expect two days of Laravel and modern web development talks, with long talks, lightning talks, real breaks and food worth sitting down for, as the organisers put it.
The topics listed for 2027 are Laravel and modern PHP; the front end, including design, performance and accessibility; AI for developers; and everything underneath, including APIs, databases, testing, security and deployment.
Beyond the talks, the week includes a premium dinner with the speakers and sponsors, the day-one afterparty, an invite-only Laravel evening, and Holi on the seaside lawns, with colour, music, food, drinks and a rain dance.
The Day 0 workshop day is planned for Friday 19 March 2027 at the resort, as a hands-on build day, but the topic and mentor had not been announced when this entry was verified.
Who Should Attend
The event is for anyone who builds for the web: Laravel runs through the programme, but real applications are never only a backend, so frontend developers will find plenty in the talks too.
The range is deliberately wide, from first-year developers to team leads and founders, and the organisers say there is no gatekeeping at the door. International attendees are welcome too, with help offered on visa invitation letters, airport transfers, flight routing and extra nights at the resort.
Key Highlights
- The official Laravel conference in India, in its fifth year, on a five star Goa beachfront.
- Two full days of talks, 20 and 21 March 2027, at Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort, Cavelossim.
- Two speakers already announced: Nuno Maduro and Freek Van der Herten.
- Day 0 workshop day planned for Friday 19 March 2027, and a Holi party on 22 March 2027.
- Stay tickets bundling a private resort room for 3 to 7 nights, with breakfast.
Agenda and Speakers
Two speakers are confirmed on the official site for 2027: Nuno Maduro, of the Laravel core team and creator of Pest, and Freek Van der Herten, a developer at Spatie, with more to be announced one by one.
The call for papers is open, with 30 minute regular talks and 10 minute lightning talks, and the 2027 running order will be published once it closes.
Registration Information
Tickets are not on sale yet: sales open on Monday 16 November 2026 at 4:00 PM IST, with the waitlist buying first for 24 hours and tickets then opening to everyone.
Prices had not been announced when this entry was verified, and the official site says pricing will be announced when sales open and that Early Bird pricing will not last.
The ticket options are a Conference ticket for both days, with lunch and accommodation not included; a Conference ticket with lunch on both days; and stay tickets bundling a private room at the resort for 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 nights, with breakfast and lunch on both conference days. The room sleeps two, and you may bring one other person: breakfast covers them, but conference entry and lunch do not, so they need their own Conference ticket. You choose your check-in date at checkout, and the stay runs from there for the number of nights chosen; it cannot be changed after purchase.
The VIP dinner on 19 March and the Holi party on 22 March are sold separately, and the Laracon-only room rate will be announced with tickets: the site notes that a five star room at the resort usually runs 35,000 INR a night.
Venue and Location
The venue is the Novotel Goa Dona Sylvia Resort, Cavelossim Beach, Salcete, Cavelossim, Goa 403731, a five star beachfront estate where the organisers note you can walk from your room to the keynote in three minutes.
Cavelossim is the quiet end of the Goan coast, described on the official site as wide, clean and almost empty, and the stay tickets mean attendees, speakers and sponsors all stay on the same campus.
Why This Event Matters
Laracon India is the point where India's Laravel community stops being a set of separate city meetups and becomes one room: the official site counts more than 15 Laravel city communities, with more than 20 city-level leaders, more than 70 meetups in 2025 and more than 80 city-level speakers.
Four editions in four cities, a five star beachfront venue with stay tickets, and speakers from the Laravel core team all point to an event that has outgrown the standard conference format. For an individual developer, the value is depth and access: deep technical sessions, practical war stories, and a hallway track the organisers call half the reason to come.
