Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude!

How are LA's founders and fractional leaders actually using Claude to win clients, run leaner and get more done?

One evening at the Verizon LA Innovation Lab in Playa Vista. Real workflows, honest lessons, zero sales pitches. You don't need to be technical. Bring questions, skepticism, or something to show.

What you'll get

  • A fractional leadership panel. Three leaders who work inside multiple companies share where Claude earns its keep, where human judgment still wins, and what founders should know before bringing AI in.

  • Live demos, 5 minutes each. Founders and operators show a real problem, what they built with Claude, and what they learned.

  • The room. Founders, fractional execs, consultants and builders from across LA.

🎤 Want to demo? Register below and fill in the "Want to demo?" question with a sentence or two on what you'd show. We'll pick 2–3 and reach out before the event. Real workflows, not pitch decks.
