GitHub will host OpenClaw: After Hours on June 3, 2026, at its San Francisco headquarters, bringing together the rapidly growing community around the open-source agentic systems framework. The event, which runs from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., coincides with Microsoft Build 2026 and will feature a fireside chat with OpenClaw creator Peter Steinberger, a panel discussion with maintainers, lightning talks, and a networking happy hour.
OpenClaw has surged past 350,000 GitHub stars, making it one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in the agentic AI space. The framework gives developers battle-tested tools to orchestrate agents, manage state, and handle long-running workflows—moving beyond simple prompt demos to production-grade systems.
What This Means
For developers diving into agentic systems, this event offers rare access to the core team and early adopters who are shipping real solutions. As Peter Steinberger, the project's creator, noted: 'The community is figuring out what works and what breaks when these agents run in the wild. This is a chance to share those hard lessons face-to-face.'
The focus is on practical insights—what's actually being built, what patterns are emerging, and where the pitfalls lie. Attendees will hear from maintainers and ecosystem builders during the panel, and lightning talks will showcase cutting-edge implementations.
Background
OpenClaw is an open-source framework designed to give developers complete control over how agents execute tasks. It handles tool orchestration, state management, and long-running workflows, allowing teams to ship agentic systems that actually perform work. The project has attracted a dedicated following, with many calling it a 'Mac Mini purchase justification' due to the hardware it sometimes inspires.
The event, registration required, is limited and not guaranteed—submissions will be confirmed afterward. Drinks and snacks will be provided, and a livestream will be available on Twitch for remote viewers.
