Austin's Claude Community
Claude Meetups,
Over Coffee,
Across Austin
Join Austin's growing Claude community. Grab a coffee, attend meetups and workshops, learn from peers, and build with Claude and Claude Code — from South Congress to The Domain.
Why Join
Better with company (and caffeine)
Real Community
Connect in person with Austin developers, founders, and creators who build with Claude every day.
Learn From Peers
See how others use Claude and Claude Code in their real workflows. Share tips, skills, and best practices.
Ship Better Work
Get feedback on your projects, find collaborators, and ship higher quality software faster.
Hands-On Sessions
Live coding workshops, demo nights, and hackathons. Learn by doing, not by watching.
Find Your Community
Four ways we gather
For every kind of builder, across the whole Claude platform — and always near good coffee.
Coffee Chats
The signature gathering: good coffee, open conversation. Bring questions, compare workflows, and talk through what's actually working. The lowest-pressure way in.
Meetups
Talks, demos, and networking. See what Austin builders are shipping with Claude, then go meet them.
Workshops
Laptops open, hands on keyboards. Learn by building and leave with something working.
Demo Nights
Show what you shipped. Five minutes, no slides — real projects, real feedback, real applause.
