SHIGA | Claude Meetup Shiga Kickoff

The kickoff event for the first Claude Meetup in Shiga, held as part of Anthropic's Claude Community Ambassadors program. Engineers and non-engineers alike are welcome, including people who have never used Claude. Light food and drinks are provided. The program covers an introduction to Claude, three five-minute lightning talks on using Claude (speakers wanted), a break for networking, and group discussions in three interest groups (work and life, building apps and systems, and social: tackling local community problems with AI) on what the new community should do, followed by group presentations and plans for future activities. Attendees should create a Claude account beforehand (the free plan is fine) and bring a laptop if possible; a smartphone alone also works. Held at Trattoria della Mela in Kusatsu, from 13:30 to 16:30 (check-in from 13:00). Free with approval required, about 30 seats, ages 18 and over, in-person only.
