# The Laravel community of Bangladesh since 2012

Laravel Bangladesh is the official community of Laravel developers, engineers, artisans and enthusiasts in Bangladesh. What began in 2012 as a small group of developers has grown to more than 21,000 members who learn, build and hire together.

## What we do

### Meetups and workshops

Regular in-person meetups in Dhaka and other cities, along with hands-on workshops. Talks are given by community members, from first-time speakers to senior engineers.

### Knowledge sharing

Talks are recorded and shared with the community together with slides and notes. Discussion happens in English and Bangla, whichever is more comfortable.

### Careers and connections

Members find collaborators, mentors, clients and jobs through the community. Companies use it to find Laravel talent in Bangladesh.

## What to expect at a meetup

### Registration and networking

Check in, meet other members and settle in before the talks begin.

### Talks and sessions

Around five talks or sessions on Laravel, PHP and related tools, each followed by questions from the audience.

### Open discussion

Time to continue conversations, ask for help with a problem and connect with speakers and other attendees.

## Who is part of the community

- Developers and engineers who build with Laravel and PHP in Bangladesh, or who are learning to.
- Students and career changers starting out in web development.
- Companies, agencies and freelancers who work with Laravel and want to hire or collaborate locally.
