Secrets of Success Founder Announces Funnel Hacking Live’s Return

Russell Brunson, founder of Secrets of Success and co-founder of the ClickFunnels sales funnel platform, has announced the return of Funnel Hacking Live. The event is long regarded as the flagship live gathering for the ClickFunnels entrepreneur community. The announcement came as a genuine surprise to many, as the future of the event had been uncertain following its last iteration. For a community that has treated FHL as a cornerstone of connection, strategy, and growth, the news landed with considerably more weight than a typical event announcement.

The reaction reflects how deeply the Funnel Hacker community has stayed engaged between live events, including through the structured learning environment of the Secrets of Success business book club membership. Previous editions of Funnel Hacking Live drew crowds exceeding 5,000 people, making the 2026 format a notable departure: only 1,942 seats will be available at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Las Vegas for the September 21-23, 2026 event. That reduction in scale has sharpened the sense of urgency among longtime attendees who see FHL as the place where strategy, relationships, and execution come together.

The depth of response surprised even Brunson. Comments and direct messages poured in from entrepreneurs who had attended multiple FHL events over the gathering’s decade-long run and who had built their businesses from within the community. Their reactions made clear that what had been feared lost was very much still wanted, and that the community had been quietly waiting for exactly this kind of announcement.

“This is not a casual response from casual business owners,” Brunson said in addressing the community’s reaction. “The entrepreneurs securing seats are signaling that they want serious conversations, timely ideas, and direct access to others who are actively building.” Brunson added that the smaller room size stands to make this year’s event especially significant, noting that a more intimate setting tends to enhance networking quality and elevate the caliber of the deals and partnerships that emerge from it.

The return of Funnel Hacking Live has reinforced how strongly the Secrets of Success entrepreneurial audience values proximity to committed peers. With seats already selling quickly, the 2026 event appears positioned to draw founders, marketers, and operators who moved decisively rather than waiting. The shared urgency among this self-selected group may prove to be among the event’s most valuable elements. That kind of room, Brunson has suggested, has the potential to change businesses and the trajectories of the people inside them.

Live business events have long generated value well beyond the stage, through partnerships, referrals, and strategic relationships formed in the room. In this case, the anticipation is amplified both by the event’s uncertain future following its last gathering and by the hard ceiling on available seats. The combination of renewed momentum and limited access has created conditions that are difficult to replicate in a virtual or open-enrollment format, making the 2026 event a rare opportunity for the entrepreneurs who secure a place in the room.
