What to expect

🦞 What is ClawCon?

ClawCon is part of the global OpenClaw community — developer meetups for people building tools and workflows with Claude, MCP, and AI agents. Events happen in Berlin, Austin, San Francisco, and now in NRW.

🔱 Beyond OpenClaw: Hermes

We don’t stop at OpenClaw. Hermes is the open-source agent framework from Nous Research — and a growing part of the NRW community builds with it, some after switching over from OpenClaw. ClawCon covers both worlds, including honest migration stories.

⚡ Lightning Talks

Short, focused talks (5-10 min) from the community. Show what you've built, share what worked, tell us what didn't. Real use cases from real developers — no slides required, live demos encouraged.
