The Code with Claude 2026 developer conference opened on May 6 in San Francisco, transitioning from a forthcoming event to a live gathering. The two-day event spans May 6-7 and centers on developer workflows, agentic use cases, and Claude API integrations. For teams building AI-powered products, the conference represents a concentrated signal on Anthropic's near-term developer tooling direction. Sessions and any announcements made during the event are worth tracking for roadmap insights, particularly around Claude's managed agents offering, which entered public beta in early May.
