Build, review and ship software with Claude Code in this live online bootcamp on 18 October 2026, from 2pm to 8:30pm UTC. Move beyond basic AI-assisted coding Claude Code Bootcamp Cohort 2 is an intensive, 6.5-hour hands-on workshop for developers who want structured, reliable and repeatable AI engineering workflows, not simply a longer list of prompts. Led by headliner Luca Berton and organised by Packt Publishing Limited, the session connects Claude Code’s individual capabilities into a practical system spanning codebase understanding, implementation, testing, review and preparation for production. Across 10 new advanced hands-on projects, you’ll explore how to: - Structure projects with CLAUDE.md and scoped rules - Create and apply reusable Claude Code Skills - Build specialised subagents for security and testing - Add hooks and guardrails that automate checks and block unsafe actions - Use Best-of-N workflows to compare AI-generated solutions - Test, review and verify AI-generated code - Assess whether work is ready to merge and ready for production - Develop more controlled and repeatable AI-assisted engineering processes Rather than treating these as isolated features, the bootcamp demonstrates how they work together across the software development lifecycle. The live, project-based format is designed to help attendees practise real workflows and leave with a more complete Claude Code toolkit. Who should attend? The programme is suitable for software developers, AI/ML engineers, platform and DevOps engineers, tech leads, developers exploring Claude Code, and people preparing for Claude certification. Basic programming ability and familiarity with Git are recommended, making this most relevant to technical attendees who already understand core development concepts but do not necessarily have extensive Claude Code experience. This is an independent Packt workshop rather than official Anthropic training. It is not endorsed by Anthropic, does not contain official examination questions, and completion does not guarantee success in an official certification exam. Refunds are available up to 10 days before the event. Get tickets for Claude Code Bootcamp Cohort 2

Build an AI prototype for better UK insurance research at this one-day hackathon in Cardiff on 20 October 2026. Consumers increasingly ask tools such as ChatGPT about insurance before approaching a broker, insurer or comparison site. Those answers can sound convincing while being outdated, based on the US market or shaped by a poorly framed prompt. Hosted by AI Wales, this practical hackathon invites participants to explore how AI could provide more accurate, useful and trustworthy insurance information. The challenge Based on findings from the Future Finance Research Sprint, teams can tackle one or more of three core problems: - Answer quality often depends on how a consumer prompts the LLM. - LLMs may lack current, accurate and UK-specific insurance information. - Consumers can arrive at insurers and comparison sites with assumptions already shaped by AI. Your concept might help people ask better questions, assess the answers they receive, identify gaps in their understanding or make a more effective handover to a broker, insurer or comparison service. Solutions should work with AI tools people already use, protect consumer privacy and avoid crossing into regulated financial advice. Participants can review the full challenge brief before the event. What you’ll build The goal is either a working prototype or a strong concept with the potential to make a real difference for consumers. Attendees can use Lovable to turn an idea into an app, with 100 free credits supplied to every participant, including solo entrants. Sign-up details for the credits will be shared on the day. No development or insurance expertise is required. The event is designed for mixed teams of developers, designers, product professionals, insurance and finance specialists, students and anyone curious about AI. Enter alone, bring a team of up to four or find collaborators at the venue. View the event and registration details

Hosted by AI Strategy Lab - Manchester

Build a Personal AI DNA file in this 45-minute online workshop and make ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini produce writing that sounds like you. Hosted by Emery Layton for AI Strategy Lab – Manchester, this practical session takes place on Thursday 22 October 2026. It tackles a familiar problem for business owners and independent professionals: AI can produce polished copy, but the result often feels generic, anonymous and time-consuming to edit. Rather than treating this as a prompting failure, Emery frames it as an onboarding problem. During the workshop, you will create a Personal AI DNA file: a single page of plain text that gives an AI essential context about who you are, who you serve, how you communicate and what you would never say. What you’ll cover The session combines accessible AI strategy with a live, hands-on build. Topics include: - What AI is in plain language, and what it cannot do - Three current news developments that matter to business owners - Where AI tools are heading and what remains constant as they change - Why AI-generated writing often feels generic - The six components of a Personal AI DNA file, illustrated with examples - A four-minute method for capturing your writing voice - A live build in which Emery writes his file while you create yours - A side-by-side test using the same request with and without your DNA file You can use a free account for ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini. No paid plan or specialist software is required; a laptop and a basic notepad are enough. Who it’s for This workshop is designed for business owners, coaches, consultants and freelancers who write frequently and want to reduce the time spent rewriting generic AI output. Complete beginners are welcome, while regular AI users should find particular value in the build and testing portion. Emery Layton is a licensed Professional Engineer with 25 years of experience in water and wastewater infrastructure. Working in a field where errors carry real liability shaped his approach to AI: accuracy, consistency and reliability take priority over novelty or showmanship.
