OpenClaw Community Gathering Set for June 3 at GitHub HQ During Microsoft Build 2026

OpenClaw, the open-source framework for agentic systems with over 350,000 GitHub stars, will host its first in-person community event OpenClaw: After Hours on June 3, 2026, at GitHub's San Francisco headquarters. The evening event coincides with Microsoft Build 2026 and aims to unite developers building real-world agentic systems.

“We've seen incredible traction, but the real value comes from the collective experience of builders,” said Peter Steinberger, creator of OpenClaw. “This event is about getting the community in the same room to share what's actually working in production.”

Background

OpenClaw is an open-source framework for building and running agentic systems, giving developers control over how agents execute tasks. It provides orchestration for tools, state management, and long-running workflows—moving beyond simple prompt demos to systems that do real work. Since its launch, OpenClaw has amassed over 350,000 GitHub stars and an early community of builders.

The event at GitHub HQ (275 Brannan St., San Francisco) runs from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. PDT and will be livestreamed on twitch.tv/github. Attendees can expect a fireside chat with Steinberger, a panel of maintainers and ecosystem builders, lightning talks, and a happy hour.

Event Details

The evening kicks off with a fireside conversation featuring Peter Steinberger, followed by a panel discussion where maintainers and ecosystem builders share what's working—and what's not—when shipping real agentic systems. Later, fast-paced lightning talks will showcase community projects, with a relaxed happy hour to close.

Drinks and snacks will be provided. Organizers invite attendees to bring their “sharp ideas” and note that while the event is casual, space is limited. Registration does not guarantee attendance; the team will confirm successful registrations after submission.

What This Means

This gathering signals a shift from theoretical agentic AI to practical, shipping systems. As OpenClaw's community matures, events like this facilitate knowledge sharing among developers tackling real-world challenges. The session's focus on “what's working and what's not” highlights the community's commitment to transparency and rapid iteration.

For developers following the project or building with it, this is a rare opportunity to meet peers, exchange notes, and see what others are shipping. The event also underscores GitHub's role as a hub for open-source AI development, especially during Microsoft Build 2026.

“OpenClaw has convinced more than a few people to buy a Mac Mini just to run ‘one small experiment' that turned into a permanent setup,” added Steinberger. “This event is for those builders—and anyone curious about what agentic systems can actually do.”

How to Attend

Spots are limited, so early registration is encouraged. To register, visit the official event page. Submit your request by June 1 to allow time for confirmation. The livestream on Twitch will be available for remote participation.

Organizers advise against “shellfish behavior” and ask attendees to come ready to share their work. The event is free, but registration does not guarantee a seat. Confirmation emails will be sent after review.
