Claude Meetup Orange County
Join the Claude Community in Orange County!
About the event
You'll leave with two superpowers. First: a working AI agent that preps your calls, reviews contracts, drafts campaigns, and manages tasks — installed on your machine before you walk out. Second: the ability to build things that used to require a developer. Dashboards from raw data. Internal tools for your team. Automated reports. Not by learning to code — by describing what you need in plain English.
Hosted by Centercode and supported by Anthropic. Food, hands-on workshop, and a virtual Q&A with an Anthropic team member.
What we'll cover
Claude Cowork & the Plugin Suite — 11 open-source plugins that make Claude a specialist for sales, marketing, legal, finance, data, product, and support. Pick your function, build a real workflow.
Claude Code for Everyone — how people with zero coding experience are building dashboards, automating reports, and creating internal tools by talking to Claude. If you're already technical, we'll go deeper into how the plugin architecture lets you customize and extend everything.
Expert Q&A with a virtual special guest from Anthropic (TBD)
Why this matters
On January 30th, Anthropic open-sourced these tools and SaaS stocks dropped across the industry. Goldman Sachs is already deploying Claude agents. The line between "technical" and "non-technical" is dissolving. The tools are free, the window to get ahead is now, and most people haven't started yet.
Who it's for
Founders and operators who want to move faster without hiring
Business professionals ready to hand off repetitive work to an AI agent
Non-technical people who've always wanted to build a dashboard, tool, or app but didn't know where to start
Engineers and PMs who want to see how Claude Code collapses build times
Anyone curious about AI who wants hands-on experience, not a lecture
