[ 06 Key Takeaways ](#key-takeaways) Laravel Announces the Founders Summit ------------------------------------- Laravel has opened applications for the **Founders Summit**, a one-day, invite-only gathering scheduled for November 2026. The event is aimed specifically at founders and leaders who have built their businesses on Laravel — not developers attending a typical conference, but operators comparing notes in a small, focused room. The location will only be shared with approved applicants, keeping the event deliberately exclusive and intimate. What the Founders Summit Is (and Isn't) --------------------------------------- This is not a conference with a curated speaker lineup or a stage full of keynotes. Laravel describes it plainly: > "We are bringing a focused group of founders and leaders together for a day of practical conversation, shared learning, and new ideas. Come prepared to compare notes with people building real businesses on Laravel, collaborate on the challenges ahead, and leave with a few ideas you can put to work." The emphasis is on peer-to-peer exchange — practical, candid conversation between people running real companies — rather than passive attendance. Who Can Apply ------------- The application form reveals the profile of attendee Laravel is targeting. Key questions include: - **Annual revenue** — ranges start at $1M–$10M and go up to $20M+ - **Role** — founder, co-founder, CEO, CTO, or other leadership title - **How your business uses Laravel** — options include built on Laravel, Laravel Cloud customer, Forge or Vapor customer, and agency - **Preferred format** — half-day plus dinner or full day plus dinner (the final format is still being decided) This is clearly aimed at established, revenue-generating businesses rather than early-stage projects or individual freelancers. It's an Interest Check First ---------------------------- Laravel is transparent that the application is an initial gauge of interest before finalising logistics: > "We're trying to gauge interest in an event like this. If you're interested in joining, share your input and we'll get back to you on the location, date, and details." That means the exact date, location, and format are still being shaped based on who applies and what respondents prefer. Submitting the form is not a confirmed registration — it's an expression of interest that puts you in line for an invite. How to Apply ------------ If you're running a Laravel-based business and this sounds like the right room for you, head to [laravel.com/founders](https://laravel.com/founders) to fill out the application form. Key Takeaways ------------- - The Founders Summit is a one-day, invite-only event planned for **November 2026** - It targets **founders and business leaders** with established, revenue-generating Laravel businesses ($1M+ ARR) - The format is **peer conversation**, not conference talks - The location is undisclosed until applicants are approved - Laravel is currently **gauging interest** — applying does not guarantee a spot - Eligible business types include products built on Laravel, agencies, and Laravel Cloud/Forge/Vapor customers --- *Source: [Laravel News — Laravel Announces the Founders Summit](https://laravel-news.com/laravel-founders-summit-2026)* Found this useful?

The Founders Summit targets founders, co-founders, CEOs, and CTOs who have built revenue-generating businesses on Laravel. The application asks for annual revenue starting at $1M, so it is aimed at established companies rather than early-stage projects. Q02 How do I apply for the Laravel Founders Summit? You can apply by filling out the interest form at laravel.com/founders. Laravel is currently gauging interest, so submitting the form is not a confirmed registration — approved applicants will be contacted with the location, date, and final details. Q03 When and where is the Laravel Founders Summit taking place? The event is scheduled for November 2026. The location will only be shared with applicants once they have been approved, and the final format (half-day or full day, both with dinner) is still being determined based on applicant preferences.
