Code with Claude: Extended San Francisco — May 7, 2026
May 7, 2026
San Francisco, CA
To meet demand, a second event just for independent developers and early-stage founders: founder stories, builder deep-dives, and laptops-open workshops from our Applied AI team. Code with Claude is where you hear what's new. Extended is where you see it in the wild.
Founder stage
When anyone can build, the founder's edge is knowing what to build and sticking with it. Sit in with founders and technical leaders from startups built on Claude as they walk through the bets they made, the road from prototype to first revenue, and the judgement calls they’ve made.
Builder stage
You don't need a CS degree or an engineering team to ship real software anymore. You need a problem you understand and the will to solve it. We’ll see working demos, real code, the techniques behind each.
Workshops
Join the same hands-on sessions Anthropic uses to train its own technical staff, adapted for you. Ship your first managed agent, give it memory, write evals that move the score, compose multi-agent systems, then put it all to the test in a live agent battle.
Demos and office hours run all day. Drop by for a demo between sessions. Sign up in advance for office hours. All times in Pacific Time (PT).
