Claude ConversationsWhat does AI mean for my job?
An evening for about thirty people. Good food, a glass of wine and a real conversation with people you'd never normally meet. No slides, no panel, no expert talking at you.
Most people in the room won't, and that's the point. The best thinking tends to come from people who don't work in tech.
See a night for yourself.
Melbourne ran its first on Monday 27 July 2026. Here's the room: the tables, the hopes and worries cards, and the bit where every table lands on one idea.
Is it coming for my work? Does it make me more valuable, or less? Do I learn it, ignore it, or push back?
We're not going to pretend there's one clean answer. The night is about hearing how it actually lands for different people, and finding the real places to start.
- 1What does this mean for us, here?
- 2What are we hoping for, and what are we worried about?
- 3What can we do about it?
- 4What stands in our way?
- 5Where do we start?
How the night runs.
Arrive
Grab a drink and something to eat. No lanyards, no forced networking.
Sit down
Four or five to a table, mixed on purpose so you're not just talking to people like you.
Talk
Lightly guided, but it's your conversation. Where you're coming from, what you hope for, what worries you.
Write it down
Hopes on one side of a card, fears on the other. Then work toward where you'd actually start.
Close
Each table puts its single biggest idea on a card. One idea, made clear.

The talking turns into building.
After the Conversation the community comes back for a Claude Impact Lab: a full day building a local answer. The cards from the night are the starting point. What your table lands on gets handed to the people who build. That's what makes the conversation worth turning up for.
Next: Saturday 14 November, Melbourne

One card per table“The content was each other.”
From the host of one of the first Claude Conversations, in London.
People genuinely connected. Not polite small talk. They properly engaged and got to understand each other.
Mostly non-technical. Roughly one engineer per table, and that mix was the magic.
One big idea per card. Less on the card, sharper the thinking.
A hackathon for ideas. Small groups building toward one thing they can share.
Food first, no rush. A drink up front and an unhurried vibe, and people settle in naturally.
Come curious. Nothing to prepare.
Bring your honest take, and be ready to listen. Spaces are limited and the room works best with the right mix of people, so if you're keen, ask for a seat soon.
