On January 25, 2026, history was made as Kenya hosted its very first Claude Code meetup. Over 30 developers from across Nairobi gathered at iHiT Events Space in Westlands for an afternoon of hands-on coding, live demos, and community building.
The event featured a live demonstration of building a full-stack application with Claude Code, a showcase of the Mulinga farm management system (managing 26,000+ coffee plants), and open networking sessions that sparked collaborations still ongoing today.
This meetup marked the birth of Claude Community Kenya and set the foundation for what would become East Africa's most vibrant AI developer community.
