A flyer with a phyphox logo at the top, an image of a phone with phyphox running at the right edge, and a photo of the Super C building in Aachen at the left. These items are surrounded by text with information on the event. The exact content can be found at https://phyphox.org/10y-conference which is also linked in the original post text.
The photo shows the experimental setup from one section of the paper. It shows a close-up of the upper part of the screen of an iPhone with the user interface of phyphox in the front. The interface shows some data, which is not entirely in the frame. To the left of the phone, a blurry red fidget spinner is visible. It is out of focus in the background and shows motion blur from rotating. The phone is oriented towards the fidget spinner, so it can see it with its camera.
A mash-up of the cover image from the podcast "Methodisch Inkorrekt" and infos about the 10 year anniversary show for the app phyphox. It shows the two podcasters on the left and right, surrounding a large picture of a phone running a measurement in phyphox. Above is the phyphox logo with a big "10 years" next to it. In the center are the key infos about the event: It takes place on the 14th of September 2026 at the RWTH Aachen University and free tickets are available on https://phyphox.org/10y-show.

Video demosntrating an experiment to measure force with a smartphone. The video has a voice-over with subtitles embedded in the video.
Photo of the award ceremony. Five people stand in front of a stage with second from the right holding a document. The people in the photo are from left to right: Heidrun Heinke, Dominik Dorsel, Christoph Stampfer, Sebastian Staacks and Joost-Pieter Katoen. The first four are the awardees representing the phyphox team, the latter is the RWTH's Vice-Rector for Teaching and Learning.
Photo of the parting present for Jens. A 3D printed base holds four items: A large phyphox logo made of wood, a medium 3D printed phyphox logo in organge and white and a small phyphox logo engraved into a block of clear acryllic. The forth item in the front is a black coated aluminium business card engraved in German: "Danke für 5 Jahre phyphox-Dienst" (Thanks for five years of phyphox service)

Preview of the pi experiment in phyphox. After 1623 random points in a square with 1275 inside the circle, the approximation gives 3.142 for pi
Left: acceleration spectrum with a highlighted peak at 11.7 Hz and three more that are even higher, with the one at roughly 35 Hz clearly overshooting the rest; Right: rammer that is about to be loaded onto a truck by a crane

Screenshot of the phyphox multi centripetal acceleration experiment with three data sets for radii of 3, 6, and 10 centimeter. Top graph: angular velocity in rad per second on the horizontal axis, acceleration in meter per second on the vertical axis, the three data series indicate a quadratic dependence being steeper for higher radii. Bottom graph with angular velocity squared on the horizontal axis, the three data series follow a linear fit with steeper slope for higher radii.
Measurement data in the phyphox elevator experiment: 1) at 20s (all values circa) the altitude determined from barometer data rises rapidly from 0 to 20 meters, at 70s it drops rapidly to 5 meters, at 170s back to 0 and stays there until 200s, 2) corresponding vertical velocity from mostly 0, with short spikes to 4 meters per second, -2 and -1, 3) vertical acceleration from the corresponding sensor, quite noisy until shortly before 20s and after 170s, little noisy in between, visibly even less from 70s.
