SensioLabs and Symfony in Mallorca for the Ibexa 2024 conference
Last week, the SensioLabs & Symfony team was in Palma de Mallorca for a 2-day conference at the Ibexa Global Partner Conference. Read our review of the event in this article.
Ibexa, a Preferred Partner of SensioLabs and Symfony
First of all, what is Ibexa? Part of the QNTM group, Ibexa (formerly EZ Publish) is one of the leading DXP solutions on the market. Ibexa offers a unique and unified platform to create and optimize your digital channels. A true driver of digital transformation, Ibexa is used by companies as diverse as Crédit Agricole, Swissport, Visit Andorra, and more.
Ibexa relies on Symfony: the solution is based on 32 Symfony components (HTTPClient, Flex, Validator, Form, Mime, etc.). In fact, Symfony and Ibexa (formerly known as EZ Publish) began their partnership in July 2012. Thanks to this partnership, Ibexa supports the Symfony community, like at the most recent SymfonyCon Brussels 2023, where Ibexa was a Gold Sponsor.
The Ibexa Global Partner Conference was the perfect opportunity to celebrate and strengthen the partnership between Ibexa, SensioLabs, and Symfony.
Day 1: Focus on Ibexa
Earlier this year, our team left the cold of Paris and flew to Palma de Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands. We attended a 2-day conference. At this event, SensioLabs participated as both a sponsor and speaker alongside Symfony.
The Ibexa Global Partner Conference was held at the Palma Convention Center, a large conference venue with breathtaking views of the sea. The conference started with a keynote by Nicole and Nicolas, sharing their expertise on Symfony 7.
Nicolas Grekas kicked off with a presentation titled: "Embracing the Future with Symfony 7".
In the ever-evolving landscape of web development, it is essential to stay ahead with robust and cutting-edge tools. Symfony 7, the latest iteration of the foundational PHP framework, continues to push the boundaries of efficiency, performance, and flexibility. In his presentation, Nicolas highlighted the key innovations of Symfony 7. He then discussed the new features, improvements, and integrations that make Symfony 7 a powerful tool for developers.

Why should Ibexa developers get the Symfony 7 certification?
Next, Ludovic Duval presented the topic: "Why Should Ibexa Developers Take the Symfony 7 Certification Exam?"
In his talk, Ludovic explained the benefits for a developer working with Ibexa to be trained on Symfony and earn the Symfony certification. With Symfony certification, Ibexa’s partners see their technical level recognized within the ecosystem. For this reason, SensioLabs offers developers and companies using Ibexa the opportunity to prepare for the Symfony certification.
A Look at Symfony 7 Certification Online Coaching
The Symfony 7 Certification Online Coaching has been available since the start of the year. The 15-week program includes:
15 live remote lessons of 1.5 hours each with a certified instructor, covering specific points of the certification syllabus.
Full access to our e-learning platform: SensioLabs University Platform, a very useful tool to prepare for the Symfony certification exam. The platform allows you to learn, test your Symfony knowledge, and track your progress. The quizzes are based on the same model as the Symfony certification exam.
