196 brought to life the Anthropic Futures Forum, hosted in Washington, D.C. This one-day event convened leaders across government, national security, and technology at Union Station.

The event design enhanced the architectural details of this historic space and overlaid an elegant, future-forward environment. The Forum showcased a dynamic main stage, live product demonstrations, seven custom interactive demo stations, a coffee lounge overlooking the Capitol, and an AI-powered vending machine filled with branded swag. 196 supported a curated welcome experience as guests were greeted into the space.

With more than 400 attendees and broad media engagement, the experience extended far beyond the room—amplifying Anthropic’s vision and shaping meaningful dialogue around the future of AI. The day closed with a reception of rich panel conversations, curated gifting, and thoughtful food and beverage hospitality touchpoints.
