# How to Find Networking Events with Claude

Claude approaches event discovery analytically, reasoning through event descriptions, expected attendee profiles, timing constraints, and your specific objectives to surface gatherings where your time will be well spent. Instead of returning every event in your area, it evaluates which ones align with your industry, networking goals, or personal interests and explains the reasoning behind each recommendation. This multi-step evaluation helps you make confident decisions about which events deserve a spot on your calendar.
