OpenClaw, one of the fastest-growing open source projects, has already picked up over 350,000 stars and an early community of builders exploring what agentic systems can actually do in practice.
That’s why, on June 3, 2026, we are hosting OpenClaw: After Hours at GitHub HQ in San Francisco. The event will take place during Microsoft Build 2026.
This evening is a chance to bring the OpenClaw community together into the same room.
We’ll kick things off in the early evening with a fireside conversation featuring Peter Steinberger, the ClawFather and creator of OpenClaw, followed by a panel with OpenClaw maintainers and ecosystem builders sharing what’s working—and what’s not—when shipping real agentic systems.
Later in the evening, we’ll move into a series of fast-paced lightning talks and close things out with a relaxed happy hour to connect with other builders.
If you have been following the project or building with it yourself, this is a good chance to meet others, trade notes, and get your claws into what people are actually shipping.
👉 For the full agenda and speaker lineup, please see the registration page.
📍 GitHub HQ, 275 Brannan St., San Francisco

Spots are limited, so register early and come ready to share what you are working on.

What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open source framework for building and running agentic systems, focused on giving developers real control over how agents execute tasks in the wild. It provides the core pieces for orchestrating tools, managing state, and handling long running workflows, so you can move beyond prompt demos and ship systems that actually do work. It’s also probably convinced more than a few people to buy a Mac Mini just to run “one small experiment” that somehow turned into a permanent setup.
