Agile Boulder presents "Data is the Rocket Fuel"
Kamal Maheshwari reveals why trusted data—not just advanced algorithms—determines AI success. Drawing from real-world cases in finance, healthcare, and hospitality, he shows how organizations that validate and govern their data achieve higher ROI, ethical integrity, and faster innovation. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for building data trust through quality checks, transparency, and continuous monitoring—turning uncertain data into confident, actionable intelligence.
NOTE: This will be an in-person event.

Speaker bio:
Kamal Maheshwari is a seasoned builder at the intersection of data, trust and transformation. After earning his M.S. in Computer Science from Penn State University, he spent nearly three decades navigating the data-landscape—from product engineering at enterprise stalwarts to leadership in emerging data infrastructure firms.
Located in Boulder, CO, Kamal co-founded Decube with a clear philosophy: that reliable, discoverable, and governable data is the lifeblood of modern organizations. He believes that data doesn’t merely inform decisions—it empowers human potential. The right data, aligned to purpose and treated with respect, becomes a force-multiplier. He often says: “Data is the rocket-fuel for the AI rocket—keep it clean and energized.”

framework for embracing AI that empowers your team rather than
threatens it. Walk away with tools you can use Monday morning.Your speaker - Jeff Wilser

Who are you when you use AI? (Human-centered AI)
Thrive Workplace Centennial, 9200 East Mineral Avenue, Centennial, CO, USFood and drink from 6-6:30. Come early!
Human-Centered AI presents a working session on the psychology of using AI: not the ethics of it, not the productivity of it, but what happens to you in the loop.
We'll work through four functions AI is quietly filling for many of us, each through a personal story and a question for you to sit with. We'll explore both sides of the coin: What does it enable? What does it leave out that we should care about for healthy human relationships?
AI as psychological safety: The relief of working with something that doesn't judge you, doesn't sigh, doesn't remember your last mistake.
AI as cognitive infrastructure: A tireless thinking partner for people who process out loud and find that most humans, however well-meaning, derail them with their own needs.
AI as creative collaborator: Co-creating with something good enough that you lose clarity about what's "yours."
AI as emotional surrogate: Navigating emotional strife, or receiving something you needed to hear, even when it didn't come from the person it should have.
Between stories, you'll inventory your own use through the same lens, in pairs and small groups. Expect honest reflection and one sharp question to take home.

About the Human-Centered AI group:
Navigate AI's Impact — Without the Hype
For busy software and product leaders, staying ahead of AI means more than chasing tools. Our monthly AI Special Interest Group cuts through the noise to explore what actually matters: how AI is reshaping collaboration, product strategy, leadership, and organizational change.This isn't a technical meetup. We skip the algorithms and implementation details to focus on the human systems that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or fails — collaborative learning, strategic thinking, ethical design, cross-functional alignment, and adaptive leadership.
What to expect: Each session features an expert speaker, small-group discussions, and practical takeaways you can use immediately.
Connect with experienced peers who share your challenges. Leave with new ways to think, not just tools to buy. Build the confidence to lead responsibly through uncertainty.Our sponsors
