OpenClaw is holding a meetup in Brooklyn tomorrow night - and the timing couldn't be more loaded.

TL;DR: OpenClaw NYC Meetup is April 15 at ZeroSpace in Brooklyn. There's a livestream. And it's happening the same week Anthropic temporarily banned OpenClaw's creator and forced every user off subscription-based Claude access. If you're building on OpenClaw, this one's worth watching.

What's happening?

The OpenClaw NYC Meetup goes live tomorrow, April 15, at ZeroSpace in Brooklyn, NY. If you can't be there in person, there's a livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=CQfMRhP94Q4. RSVP is through Luma if you want to attend.

Why does the timing matter?

Here's the thing. In the last 10 days, Anthropic revoked subscription-tier access for OpenClaw users and then briefly banned creator Peter Steinberger's personal account. His own words: "it's gonna be harder in the future to ensure OpenClaw still works with Anthropic models." A non-profit foundation has been established for OpenClaw's open-source future - but the dependency question is real and unresolved.

So when the community gathers tomorrow, the conversation isn't just about features. It's about what comes next for the platform people are building their businesses on.

Watch the stream. We'll have a quick-take after it wraps.
