No-Code Automation & AI Expo - San Francisco

◎ Online

Hosted by Packt Publishing Limited

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
