Abby Gilson on Laravel’s Events & Laracon US Boston
Episode 26
Tuesday, 9 June, 2026
The Laravel Podcast is brought to you by Tighten, your friendly neighborhood Laravel experts. Check us out at tighten.com and also by other sponsors you will hear about later in the episode. In this episode, Matt Stauffer talks with Abby Gilson — Laravel's recently promoted field marketing manager, better known in the community as "Gen Z Abby" — about the winding path that took her from studying for the LSAT to running events for one of the web's most passionate developer communities.They get into what it's like to learn marketing and event management on the fly, why Laravel events deliberately don't feel like typical tech marketing, and how being a non-developer pushed her to actually start shipping apps on Laravel Cloud.Abby also previews Laracon US in Boston — including dodgeball, LaraProm, and the SoWa Power Station venue — before sharing how she went full-time digital nomad and landed in Milan.
