The premier Anthropic community in DC. Builders, thinkers, and operators exploring what's possible when AI is built responsibly.
Claude DC is the home for Anthropic and Claude enthusiasts in the greater Washington, DC area. We bring together builders, researchers, policymakers, and the genuinely curious for monthly meetups, live demos, and conversations that matter. No fluff. No pitch decks. Just the frontier of safe, capable AI, explored together.
Live demos, hackathons, and workshops. Bring your laptop, ship something real. Claude Code, MCP integrations, agentic workflows, and more.
Talks and panels on AI safety, alignment, policy, and the future of work. DC is where policy meets technology. We sit at that intersection.
A curated network of builders, operators, researchers, and policymakers. The kind of room where unexpected collaborations happen naturally.
Anthropic's own Economic Index puts Washington, DC first in the country for Claude usage relative to population — more than double the next-highest state. That is not a coincidence. It is what happens when policy, research, and engineering share a metro area.
Claude DC exists to support that lead: to turn scattered individual adoption into a connected community, so the people already using these tools every day can learn from each other instead of in parallel.
It's the feature. We believe the most capable AI will also be the most responsibly built. Anthropic's mission resonates here.
This is a community of practitioners. We learn by making. Demos over decks. Prototypes over predictions.
We'd rather have 30 engaged people in a room than 300 passive ones. Quality of conversation is everything.
