Why Gold Coast

Claude Code for the Gold Coast's tourism-tech and creative scene

The Gold Coast is rapidly outgrowing its old "tourism only" reputation. The film and VFX cluster around Village Roadshow Studios and the Screen Queensland precinct, the booming SaaS scene running out of Burleigh Heads and Broadbeach, and the strong cohort of remote workers who've relocated from Sydney and Melbourne mean Gold Coast now has more software engineers per capita than many state capitals. Claude Code adoption here is fast because the scene is young, hungry and unburdened by legacy.

The workshop is built for Gold Coast's reality. Tourism-platform engineers running booking and itinerary products, VFX pipeline teams stitching agentic workflows into their render pipelines, SaaS founders bootstrapping product on the beach, and the growing crew of Web3 / creator-economy devs who've made the Coast home. We work through each of these contexts directly — not generic enterprise demos.

We run the workshop in Surfers Paradise CBD, walkable from the G:link tram and easy to reach from Broadbeach, Burleigh, Robina and the southern beaches. The Gold Coast airport is 20 minutes away if you're flying in from interstate. Bring real work. You'll leave with workflows ready for it.
