Anthropic plans to pop by Portland for a Claude Code Hackathon

When it rains, it pours. Earlier today we had no local AI hackathons planned. Now we have two. And they’re both happening on February 28, 2026. The first one is OpenClaw. The next one is an Anthropic Claude Code Hackathon.

Anthropic is coming to Portland, yes THAT Anthropic. For years, the frontier labs have skipped over Portland. We're seen as the weird cousin smushed between Seattle and San Francisco. But that ends on 2/28. We're hosting a Claude Code Hackathon to show the world what we're capable of. This is our chance to put Portland on the map + prove that we DO belong in the AI conversation. None of this happens without this incredible group of people - massive shoutout to Dinesh Mathew, Abraham N., Todd Greco, Dave Barcos, Sam Keen, Joanna Gough, Natalie Tashchuk, Grant Macdonald, Rick Turoczy, Dominic Kuklawood, Mike Biglan, M.S. + many more. These people showed up when it mattered and are bringing our communities together in the AI era. Now it's your turn. Seats are extremely limited. This will sell out. Period. Comment "Claude" and we'll send you the link to apply. (Make sure we're connected so we can reach you) | 85 comments on LinkedIn
