On the Laravel News site, they've posted an announcement about tickets for the Laracon 2017 US conference (happening in New York City next month) for livestream only.

Laracon US is once again offering tickets to the live stream plus early access to the recorded videos for $29.99.

Please note that the live stream feed connection information will be distributed the day of the conference. This ticket also includes early access to full video archives. Refunds are generally not distributed in the event of connection problems since early access to video archives is provided.

Speaker at this year's event include:

• Freek Van der Herten
• Matt Stauffer
• Nils Adermann
• Laura Elizabeth

They will also be joined by Jeffrey Way, Adam Wathan and the creator of Laravel itself Taylor Otwell.

If you missed it or weren't able to attend this year's php[world] the keynote from Taylor Otwell, creator of the Laravel framework, has been posted: "Laravel - Lessons Learned".

In four years, Laravel has become one of the most popular application development frameworks for PHP. In addition to the framework itself, a vibrant community has emerged including Laracon, Laracasts, Laravel Forge, Envoyer, and more. In this session, we'll discuss the history of the framework, its core philosophies, and what makes its community so passionate.

You can watch it either though the in-page video player or directly over on YouTube. There's also other videos posted from the conference (keynotes) from Tessa Merro (of the Joomla project) and Lorna Mitchell (on open source communities).

If you were wanting to make it to this year's True North PHP conference (next week!) but can't be there in person, they're providing another option - two new kinds of tickets: a video-on-demand option and a live streaming one.

The live stream version gives you access to a live stream of all three tracks as they happen as well as access to the videos after the fact. If you're not able to watch real-time, the video-on-demand option will provide the same access to the videos post-conference to watch at your convenience.

You can pick up these and the regular in-person kinds of tickets from their ticket sales page but hurry - the conference is just a few days away!
