This event is open to all.

​Curious about building with Claude but not sure where to start?

​Join us for a hands-on Claude Code Workshop led by Todd Greco, designed for beginners, builders, and anyone curious about using Claude inside a real coding environment.

​This session will walk through how to set up the Claude Code CLI and development environment, and how Claude can assist with everyday coding tasks like debugging, file manipulation, and feature building.

​Claude Code allows developers to run Claude directly in the terminal, making it a powerful companion for building software, experimenting with ideas, and accelerating projects.

​After the workshop, participants are welcome to stay, experiment, and work on ideas together in an open build session.

​Whether you’re a developer, hacker, or simply curious about how AI can support your workflow, this session will help you get started.

​What you'll learn

​How to set up the Claude Code CLI

​How to authenticate and connect your Claude account

​Using Claude inside your terminal development workflow

​Practical ways Claude can assist with coding tasks

​Tips for experimenting and building with Claude

​Requirements

​Participants should have:

​A laptop

​A Claude account (Claude Pro recommended)

​Basic familiarity with using a terminal

​Note: Claude Pro provides access to the Claude app and Claude Code. API access is separate and billed based on usage.

​Schedule

​10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Claude Code Setup Workshop with Todd Greco

​11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Open build session — experiment, collaborate, and work on ideas.

​Come learn something new, build something interesting, and meet others exploring the Claude ecosystem in Portland.

What if you didn’t need to move to SF to be a builder? What if the same energy that fuels the frontier could happen right here in Portland?

​That’s the idea behind Open Build — a hands-on event where AI-native developers, indie hackers, and curious tinkerers come together to experiment, create, and connect using Windsurf, the AI-powered coding environment that’s redefining how builders work.

​Join us for an evening of creativity, collaboration, and good vibes — plus free Windsurf credits, exclusive swag, and direct time with the Windsurf team.

The Healthcare AI Forum brings together leading researchers in Portland to explore advanced medical and healthcare uses for AI related technologies, and openly discuss both the challenges and opportunities of the next phase of this transformative technology.
