Sydney | Claude Build night @ MongoDB

About this event

Join a Claude Community Event, organized by local enthusiasts for everyone who loves building with Claude!
A Claude community workshop open to everyone.

Claude Community Build night
This is the first Claude Community Australia build night, and it works differently to our regular events.
No panel. No long demo. A short talk from a developer at MongoDB to set up the stack, and then the rest of the night is yours to build in.

Audience is limited to strictly 40 people for this format!

The format
You get a problem and a backend. You get the rest of the night to turn that into something that runs, and if you want it to, something that is live on the internet before you go home.
You will not get the problem in advance. That is deliberate. Going from a cold brief to a working thing is most of the actual skill in building with Claude Code, and you cannot practise it if you have had a week to plan. Everyone starts at the same line, at the same minute.
What we will tell you now: it is a real problem, the data is real, and the backend is MongoDB. Bring your judgement, not a head start.
Who this is for
People who already build with Claude Code. Not "I have heard of it". You have installed it, pointed it at a project, and got something working.
Read this bit properly. If you are earlier than that, apply anyway. You will learn a lot from being in the room. But go in with your eyes open. It moves fast, there is no beginner track, and nobody will be explaining the fundamentals from scratch. Parts of the night will be uncomfortable.
That is a fine trade if you know it is coming. If you would rather start gentler, come to one of our intro sessions and catch the next build night instead.
Seats are approved, not first come. Tell us honestly where you are at when you apply. We would rather put you in the right room than the next available one.
Bring
A Claude subscription, see below.
Your own laptop and charger. A personal machine if your work one is locked down. Not a tablet, not an i

Event full? Try the next session: Sydney Tech Pickleball - https://luma.com/event/evt-gKowohvIYED4YIC A relaxed weekly pickleball session for Sydney tech workers to connect, play and sweat a little. We are on courts 7 and 8 and you'll rotate courts and partners. A healthy way to wind up your Tuesday! Many people are beginners and don't know each other yet, so don't worry about that. If you have any questions, just message the WhatsApp group. Logistics Get your tickets via Luma. You can buy for yourself and your friends too. All paddles and balls are provided. There are showers available at ICC, in the carpark level. Cancellations You can cancel within 24 hours of the event - you'll get a credit to attend a future session.

We'll make this call on the morning. Pickleball Basic Rules & Scoring Before your first time playing, please check out this 5-min video which covers the basic rules and scoring: https://youtu.be/pDDwZgepQeE We'll use traditional scoring rules with games up to 11 (you need to win by 2 points). Beginner Tips Don't worry about looking silly - everyone does at the beginning. Before you serve, make sure you say the score, otherwise you will quickly lose track of it. Try to notice your most common mistake to improve that. Try to get to the kitchen line quickly - don't hang back at the base line like tennis. The serve has to be under arm 'in an upward arc' - so no downward slicing, tennis style serve or side arms. The rule everyone forgets is that the ball has to land once on each side (two-bounce rule) before you can start volleying - so remember 'Serve and Stay' and 'Return and Run'. General Etiquette It's just a social game for a bit of fun, so let's keep it friendly. After each game ends, change it up - e.g. swap your partner, swap courts etc. If anyone is waiti

Atlassian for Startups: Demo Night

363 George St, Sydney, Australia
In person

CALLING ALL BUILDERS! If you wish to demo your product, please fill out this form here: Open Google Form A curated evening of production-grade AI demos built by founders, engineers, and researchers. The focus is on real systems: working agents, automation layers, developer tools, and vertical applications that deliver observable impact. Atlassian is hosting this event and will share a bit of information about the Atlassian for Startups program but the demo lineup spans far beyond the Atlassian ecosystem. The objective is to showcase the most credible, high-leverage applied AI work happening in the community. Preferred demo types. Product born out of AI-native startups: a product invented out of an organisation with artificial intelligence as it core foundational architecture, operating model, and value proposition Autonomous or semi-autonomous systems operating on real data with minimal human steering. Workflow automation that removes coordination steps in product, engineering, ops, or support. Developer tools that accelerate understanding, coding, testing, or deployment. Knowledge systems that turn unstructured inputs into reliable, actionable outputs. Multi-agent coordination with clear delegation and error-handling behavior. As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided! Demo List: we will select 5 demo among the people keen to share (apply here). Note that everyone is welcome to attend and network! Please be advised: Space is limited at these events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to.
