About the event
The Claude Community Ambassador (Moeko Nakazono) is hosting the first Claude Community event in Hokkaido, in Sapporo. Many people who have started using Claude at work say they don't know how to spread it within their company and want to know how others actually use it.
So this meetup brings together how people use Claude at work and in daily life, not only for development. Stories of what worked and what didn't are welcome. First-timers and listen-only attendees are also welcome.
Who it is for
- People who use Claude at work or in daily life and want to learn how others use it
- People in sales, HR, accounting, education, food service, real estate and other non-engineering fields who use AI (engineers are welcome too)
- People who are curious about Claude but have no one around them to ask
- People coming from outside Sapporo within Hokkaido are welcome
