Claude Code Meetup Istanbul
Join a Claude Code Community Event, organized by local Claude Code enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude Code!
AI for Creating, Not Just Asking
We all use AI to ask questions - to quickly get information, draft an email, or summarize a report. But what about using AI to actually create something? To bring an idea or a project to life?
We're hosting the official Claude Code community meetup in Istanbul, sponsored by Anthropic.
This gathering is not aimed at hardcore developers or pure technologists. Instead, we're building a space for entrepreneurs, white-collar professionals, designers, and anyone striving to turn their ideas into reality - people who want to make things happen with AI.

Community Vision
This is the first of a series. Our goal is to build a genuine "makers community" - people who regularly come together to create with generative AI. Not just to talk about it, but to actually build things.
