SaaStr AI Annual 2026 to feature hands-on vibe coding classes with Replit

SaaStr AI Annual 2026 will host more than 10 hands-on vibe coding classes taught in partnership with Replit, according to an announcement from the B2B and AI community organization. The classes, scheduled for May 12-14 in the San Francisco Bay Area, are designed to help non-technical professionals build working applications without coding experience. Participants are expected to bring laptops and leave with functional apps. Course offerings include "From Prompt to Product in 30 Minutes: Vibe Coding for Founders with Replit" and "You Don't Need to Know How to Code. You Just Need a Prompt. Live Vibe Coding for GTM Leaders." Additional sessions target product marketers, designers, and teams seeking to develop AI-powered sales and marketing tools. According to SaaStr, the organization has personally shipped over 12 production applications on Replit in the past year. The group reports that its AI VP of Customer Success and AI VP of Marketing both run on Replit, saving roughly 70% of the human hours previously spent on those functions. The event aims to address what SaaStr identifies as the primary bottleneck for many B2B and AI companies: engineering capacity. Organizers claim vibe coding could address 60-70% of typical backlogs, allowing professionals to ship projects themselves within a week. Seats for the hands-on classes are limited and require separate reservation from general conference admission. Last year's most popular sessions were similarly interactive, according to the announcement.
