Filament Meetup

The community meetup for people who build with Filament.

An online meetup every couple of months: Filament updates, community show & tell, open Q&A, and a casual hangout after. Whether you've shipped a bunch of Filament apps or just installed it this week, come hang out.

No RSVP needed, just hop in. Everyone welcome.

Join on Google Meet

Three public meetups so far. About 60 people at the biggest one, four to six community shares each time, and show & tell ran 45 minutes last time.

What happens in the hour

A loose format that leaves plenty of room for people to show what they're building.

Welcome

Phil kicks things off. A couple of minutes, then we're straight into it.

What's new in Filament

A quick rundown of what's new around Filament since last time: first-party releases, themes, third-party apps, and anything notable from the core team.

Community show & tell

Anyone can take 3–6 minutes to show what they're building: screen share, a screenshot, or just talk about it. Polished or work-in-progress both welcome. This is consistently the best part and gets the most time. Show us yours!

Open Q&A

Bring questions and works-in-progress. Get unstuck, compare notes, trade approaches.

Close & hangout

Then an optional casual hangout for whoever wants to stick around. Want to go deeper on something? We'll spin up a breakout room on request.

Filament

What is Filament?

Filament is a collection of full-stack components for accelerated Laravel development — a fast, elegant way to build admin panels, dashboards, and entire applications.

This meetup is an independent community for the people building with it.

Propose a talk or say hello

Built something with Filament? Got an app, a theme, a pattern, or a half-finished experiment worth showing? We'd love to have you on. Or just send feedback and say hi.

Show & tell slots are 3–6 minutes and informal. If you'd rather do a proper talk, a lightning (5–10 min) or standard (15–20 min) slot works too.

A few sentences is plenty. What is it, and what will people take away?
