Six ways to take part

Pick whatever fits what you know, not whatever sounds most impressive. A sharp five-minute demo beats a stretched twenty-minute talk every time.

Demo

Screen up, show something working, take a couple of questions. No slides needed and none expected.

5 min · Meetups

Talk

A workflow, a case study or a lesson learned the hard way. What you would tell someone six months behind you.

Attendees building on their laptops during a hands-on Claude session.

Workshop

Laptops open. Teach a skill people can use the next morning, from first steps to advanced builds.

Panel or conversation

Bring the view from your field — law, medicine, design, marketing, founding — and help a room think it through.

What happens next

  1. Tell us your idea

    A few lines on the form below. A rough idea is plenty.

  2. Travis reads every one

    We keep it on hand while planning events in your metro.

  3. If it fits, we reach out

    When an upcoming event suits your idea, an organizer gets in touch to talk it through.

  4. You take the floor

    Share it, take questions and stay for the conversation afterwards.

First time?

Never spoken before is the normal case here, not the exception.

Any background

Engineers, lawyers, designers, marketers, founders and teachers. If you use Claude for real work, you have something worth sharing.

Teach, don’t pitch

Product and platform builders are welcome. Show people how to do something useful and leave the sales deck at home.

Share an idea

This tells us you are interested. It is not a booking. Travis reads every one, and we will be in touch if an upcoming event is a good fit.

Questions first? travis@claudesocal.com

What would you like to bring?

What it is, who it is for and what people will leave with. A rough idea is fine. Up to 1,200 characters.

Sharing an idea does not subscribe you to marketing email. How we handle submissions.
