What a single day here is actually worth.
Everyone can prompt. Very few can build. This is the day you cross that line, with a guide.
Cross the builder threshold
The jump from chat window to agent is the hardest step. We walk it with you, gently.
Ship before you leave
Your first working build runs on your laptop before the demo hour. Proof, not promise.
Momentum you keep
You go home with the setup, the patterns, and the confidence to keep building on Monday.
Who it's for.
Built for one audience, not everyone at once.
- People comfortable with computers who want to move beyond the chat window.
- Technical-curious PMs, designers, and analysts ready to build, not just prompt.
- First-time builders who want a gentle, guided on-ramp to Claude Code.
- Anyone who has used Claude in the browser and wants the real, agentic version.
What you'll walk out able to do.
Real capabilities, built on your own work during the day. The full agenda, including the four guest presenters, is announced shortly before each event.
Getting Started
Install Claude Code, sign in, and run your first plan-build-ship agent loop.
Plain-English Prompts
Direct the agent in clear language: plan first, then build, then review.
Files & Folders
Let the agent read and edit your real files safely, with you in control.
First Mini-app
Build and run a small working app before lunch.
Simple Automations
Wire up a repeatable task you'll actually reach for again.
How the day runs.
The structure of the day. Module topics and guest presenters are announced shortly before each event.
08:00
Check-in & breakfast
Doors open. Coffee, breakfast, and a seat next to people working on the same kind of thing you are.
09:00
Morning modules
Hands-on learning modules, with guest presenters woven in. The full agenda is announced shortly before the event.
12:00
Lunch
A proper break, together. The conversations here are half the value of the day.
13:00
Afternoon modules
Deeper hands-on modules and more guest presenters, building on your own real work, with help when you're stuck.
16:00
Demo hour
The room shows what it built. Short, honest demos: working things, not slides.
17:00
Cocktails & Networking
We wrap the programme and pour something. Stay, compare notes, and leave with people worth keeping in touch with.
Upcoming cohorts.
Sign-up and payment go through the Luma event page.
Before you arrive.
Ten minutes the day before. Saves an hour day-of.
01
An Anthropic account
Pro, Team, or Max on console.anthropic.com, signed in before you arrive.
02
Claude Code installed
Follow the steps at code.claude.com and run it once so we can build, not configure.
03
A laptop with admin rights
Mac, Windows, or Linux. You need to be able to install CLI tools.
04
One small idea
A little project or task you'd like to get working during the day.
Questions.
The short answers. Reach out if anything else.
- Do I need coding experience?
- A little comfort with files and folders helps, but no programming background is required. This is the gentle on-ramp to Claude Code.
- How big are the cohorts?
- Capped to keep the room hands-on. Each Luma event page lists the seat count for that cohort. Book early when a date matters.
- What's included?
- Coffee, lunch, drinks, and the full materials (operating-manual template, prompt library, skill files). Sign-up and payment go through Luma, so the day's logistics stay simple.
- Where is it?
- Matrikel1, Copenhagen, or a similar venue announced per cohort. In-person only for now; we'll add online cohorts when there's demand.
- Can I cancel?
- Refunds and rescheduling are handled by Luma per their standard terms. Check the event page when you book.
