Hosting Your First Claude Code Meetup

A step-by-step guide to organizing a successful Claude Code meetup in your city.

Congratulations on deciding to host a Claude Code meetup! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know.

Before You Start

Find a Venue

Look for spaces that can accommodate 20-50 people. Consider:

  • Tech company offices (many have community spaces)
  • Co-working spaces
  • University or college meeting rooms
  • Libraries with event spaces

Set a Date

  • Weekday evenings (6-8pm) work well for professionals
  • Avoid holidays and major local events
  • Give at least 3-4 weeks notice

Setting Up Your Event

Create a Luma Event

Luma is the preferred platform for Claude community events:

  1. Create an account and verify your email
  2. Create a new event with a clear title
  3. Add a description explaining what attendees will learn
  4. Set capacity and RSVP deadline

Spread the Word

  • Share on LinkedIn and Twitter
  • Post in local tech communities and Slack groups
  • Reach out to local tech meetup organizers
  • Ask friends and colleagues to share

On the Day

Before the Event

  • Arrive 30 minutes early
  • Test any AV equipment
  • Set up welcome signs
  • Prepare name tags (optional but helpful)

During the Event

  • Welcome attendees as they arrive
  • Start with a brief introduction
  • Facilitate demos or discussions
  • Leave time for networking

After the Event

  • Thank attendees for coming
  • Share photos and highlights on social media
  • Collect feedback for next time
  • Report back to the Clauders community
