Add to calendar

A community meetup for people using Claude, whether you build with it every day or have never opened it. Gabriel starts with a 15-minute walkthrough of dashboards and motion with the new 5.5 family. Then local builders and creatives each demo their work in five minutes. The rest of the evening is open conversation and networking, plus a word on Prompt Victoria on November 5. Seats are capped at 80 and registration is approval-based. Include a LinkedIn profile, a personal website or a public Claude artifact when you sign up. Have something to show? Offer a demo when you register, with a short video walking through it. Light snacks provided. An independent, community-run meetup, not an official Anthropic event. On Fort Tectoria's main floor.

Who's in the room: Claude users at every stage: developers, business owners, creatives and people who have yet to open it.
