Anthropic's premier developer conference, Code with Claude, is making a grand return in 2026, spanning three global tech hubs: San Francisco, London, and Tokyo.

The decision to bring Code with Claude to three cities is not just a marketing exercise. Developers are the audience segment that drives enterprise adoption and produces the public artifacts—skills, plugins, and MCP servers—that fuel the platform's organic growth.

As we move through 2026, the systemic effects of agentic AI are becoming clear. Shifting engineering roles and multi-agent coordination are at the forefront of this transformation.

A well-run technical conference provides direct access to the engineers building the future. With Claude reaching over 287 million monthly visits, the community of power users is larger and more engaged than ever.

While OpenAI has DevDay and Google has I/O, Code with Claude offers a more technical, focused experience. It's about building a loyal community of developers who are reshaping how software gets built.
