  • 37 - Building Community Through Laravel Live Denmark with Kasper Hartwich

    # Building Community Through Laravel Live Denmark

    > Exploring the journey of Casper and the rise of Laravel Live events.

    Welcome to this week’s newsletter, where we dive into the inspiring journey of Casper, a key figure in the Laravel community in Denmark.

    ## From Programming Beginnings to Laravel Leadership

    Casper’s journey into programming began back in the 90s, starting with PHP. He recalls,

    > "I started programming PHP back in the 90s, doing like the classic just web pages with a small PHP backend."

    His passion for web development led him to discover Laravel around 2013, culminating in a significant project for a major energy supplier in Denmark. His journey truly blossomed when he attended Laracon EU in 2015, where he felt embraced by the Laravel community.

    > "The community just gave me a big hug. That was the way how I fell in love with the Laravel community."

    ## The Birth of Laravel Live Denmark

    The idea for Laravel Live Denmark sparked during a Laracon event in Lisbon. Casper envisioned bringing a similar event to Denmark. He meticulously gathered ideas, venue options, and budget plans, ultimately leading to the formation of a non-profit association dedicated to community-driven conferences.

    > "I’ve always been a non-profit guy and loved the non-profit association and volunteers. So I kind of tried to make an association here in Denmark to do it in a community way."

    ## A Unique Experience at Laravel Live

    Casper emphasizes that Laravel Live Denmark aims to provide a more intimate experience compared to larger conventions.

    > "We don’t want to be a Laracon. I think Laracon is a big business. We are between meetups and the Laracons."

    This approach allows for a blend of experienced speakers and newcomers, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels included.

    ## Bringing Big Names to the Stage

    One of Casper's notable achievements has been securing prominent speakers like Taylor Otwell and DHH for the conference. His connections in the community and a shared history with DHH paved the way for this success.

    > "I had this crazy idea to get you and Taylor to do just a tech talk about doing a framework. I think they have a lot of similar experience with starting this."

    ## Looking Ahead

    Casper’s vision for the future includes expanding Laravel Live to other countries, fostering a global community of developers.

    > "I wish to have more... I think Brazil should have a Laravel Live as well."

    As the Laravel community continues to grow, events like Laravel Live Denmark play a crucial role in connecting developers and sharing knowledge.
