Conversations that move the needle.
Fireside chats, speaker nights, and community talks — less theater, more substance. Builders in the room sharing what they're actually shipping with Claude.
Talks without the fluff.
Hosted under Claude Community Austin by Ian Kiku. Every session aims for one useful idea you can take home — and usually a few people to follow up with after.
Fireside chats
Unscripted conversations with founders, researchers, and operators building with Claude — what worked, what broke, what's next.
Speaker nights
Short talks with a clear takeaway: a pattern, a demo, or a hard-won lesson from production agent work.
Community panels
Multiple voices on one theme — hiring, evals, tooling, or how Austin becomes the AI capital. Questions from the room welcome.
Office hours flavor
Sometimes the best conversation is open floor: bring a stuck project and get perspectives from people who've been there.
Got a story worth telling?
If you're building with Claude in Austin — or shipping agent systems elsewhere and can be here — we want to hear from you. Prefer substance over slide decks.
- A production war story or a failed experiment with a clear lesson.
- A demo that fits in 15–20 minutes, plus Q&A.
- Willingness to share prompts, patterns, or open-source bits when possible.
