🍕 **18:00 – 18:30** · **Gathering, Pizza & Drinks** 📣 **18:30 – 18:45** · **Welcome + Latest Claude Updates** · Boaz Ziniman - Claude Israel User Group 💻 **18:45 – 19:15** · **Claude + AWS: New Ways to Build Together** · Eitan Sela - Principal GenAI/ML Specialist Solutions Architect @ Amazon Web Services Discover how Anthropic's Claude tools integrate with AWS to unlock new ways of working. We'll explore Claude Code, the agentic coding assistant that lives in your terminal, powered by Amazon Bedrock, and Claude CoWork, Anthropic's agentic AI that lets anyone delegate knowledge work like reports, spreadsheets, and file organization from the Claude desktop app. Through a live demo, we'll connect Claude Code to AWS services via AgentCore Gateway and MCP servers, showing how developers can access tools dynamically with a single connection. Whether you code or don't, this session shows how Claude and AWS work better together. 👾 **19:15 – 19:45** · **Shipping with Claude: Lessons From Real Projects** · Ran Isenberg - AWS Hero, Principal Software Architect @ Palo Alto Networks I ship with Claude every day, on my personal brand website, home projects, and my daily job. I am not a Claude master, but the LinkedIn flood about the latest Claude bells and whistles misses the point. The tool matters far less than the person holding it. Using it correctly, with the right configurations and state of mind, is what moves the needle. In this talk I will share the setup and insights that help me deliver. We will cover real Claude Code and Cowork use cases, how to expand both with community and custom skills, and how AI SDLC frameworks like BMAD bring structure to this non-deterministic domain. Everything is grounded in real projects and will be shareable. 🍻 **19:45 – 20:00** · Drinks & Geek Out Claude User Group Israel 🇮🇱. A joint meetup with the AWS User Group Israel, hosted at the AWS office in Tel Aviv. Claude Code is powerful, but if you’re not careful, it burns tokens fast. This session is about working smarter: how to structure your prompts, manage context, and get more done per session without watching your costs spike. We’ll cover practical techniques developers are using right now, from reducing unnecessary context to getting Claude Code to produce better output on the first try. Talks and topics will be announced shortly. RSVP now to hold the date. **Who should come?** Developers actively using Claude Code who want to get more out of it. This is not a general AI overview, we’re going straight into the workflows. **Venue capacity is 200. Seats are first come, first served - arrive early to avoid missing out.**
