Anthropic held Code with Claude 2026 with a record number of developers

On May 6, Anthropic held the second Code with Claude conference in San Francisco. Demand exceeded expectations — organizers had to expand the venue to a larger hall.

Event

Development Following the success of the first conference, Anthropic decided to scale the format. The second Code with Claude conference attracted so many developers that organizers had to move the event to the former SVN West auto dealership instead of the originally chosen location. This demonstrates the growing interest of professional engineers in Claude and its capabilities. The surge in demand reflects the IT community's increasing attention to Anthropic's tools as an important part of modern development.

Global

Expansion Anthropic is not stopping at what has been achieved and continues to expand the geography of events. Following the success in San Francisco, the company has planned conferences in major technology hubs: London — May 19, 2026 Tokyo — June 10, 2026 This approach is strategically important for Anthropic. It allows developers from different time zones to access content and meet with company representatives without expensive travel to the USA. The global expansion of the event indicates Anthropic's plans to expand its influence in the European and Asia-Pacific development markets.

Videos

Available Now The full conference recording (over 5 hours of video content) has already been published and is available for viewing. Anthropic promises to upload individual presentations to the Claude Code YouTube channel soon, so developers can select sessions of interest without needing to watch the entire multi-hour recording. This is important for busy engineers who want to quickly find relevant content.

"Demand for the conference exceeded expectations, so we expanded the

global event calendar."

What

It Means Code with Claude is becoming an annual event that sets trends in the ecosystem of AI tools for development. The growing attention of developers from around the world and the global expansion of events indicate that Claude is becoming firmly rooted in the workflow of professional engineers. AI assistants are ceasing to be an experiment and are becoming a standard tool in professional development.
