# Anthropic plans to pop by Portland for a Claude Code Hackathon

When it rains, it pours. Earlier today we had no local AI hackathons planned. Now we have two. And they’re both happening on February 28, 2026. The first one is [OpenClaw](https://siliconflorist.com/2026/02/17/portland-will-be-part-of-the-openclaw-global-unhackathon/). The next one is an [Anthropic Claude Code Hackathon](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aj-green-ai_anthropic-is-coming-to-portland-yes-that-activity-7429630821885550592-MzC4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAZTPABpzOAcnIrkYOlK0XhArMoD_BVprE).

For more information, [respond to the LinkedIn post with the word “Claude.”](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aj-green-ai_anthropic-is-coming-to-portland-yes-that-activity-7429630821885550592-MzC4?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAZTPABpzOAcnIrkYOlK0XhArMoD_BVprE)
