A friendly evening for builders using Claude Code and Claude Desktop in their real work. Live demos, pizza, and great conversations - no slides, no sales pitches, no "AI theory."
Founders, engineers, scientists, students, operators - all exploring how Claude fits into their day-to-day. No gatekeeping. Come curious.
Six 10-minute lightning demos each night. Real workflows, on real screens. You see what works and what breaks.
Half the value is the break in the middle. Meet operators, founders, and builders you'll actually want to keep in touch with.
Non-coders have built problem-hunters on Reddit, personal CRMs, and 3D-printed hardware - all live, in the room, in under an hour.
Pulled straight from LinkedIn after past events. No edits.
~80 people in the room and not a single "safe" prerecorded demo. Everything was built in real time.
80 people, live demos, and an energy in the room that's hard to put into words.
People aren't theorizing about AI workflows anymore. They're running them.
We're starting to form a community here. I see people who attended the latest 3 events.
Claude Waterloo is a monthly meetup for builders using Claude Code and Claude Desktop to ship real work.
No pitches. No speculation. Just people running their workflows live, answering questions, and sharing what works.
Co-organized by Artem Zhutov and Babajide Okusanya. Hosted at Builders Club in downtown Kitchener.
