What we're about

Have you ever wondered how Netflix delivers movies to your home with a flick of a tile? or how Twitter keeps your tweets flowing to deliver you breaking news? or how Tesla knows when to notify its drivers when to service their electric vehicle? If so, join us in this exciting new meetup to uncover the mysteries of continuous data flows and how to build robust stream computing environments. We're looking for speakers, enthusiasts, hackers, and innocent bystanders to join us for food and drink in and around your area.

Building Cyber Resiliency into your Architecture to reduce Downtime

Network event

349 attendees from 106 groups hosting

Link visible for attendees

Topic repeated at 2 different times, please join the session that is best suited for your time zone.
Over 18 Billion text messages are updated sent every day, over 6 Billion cell phone calls are made every day, and over 1 Billion credit card transactions occur every day around the world. Not to mention all of the cable TV or streaming choices we make, medical record updates, travel records created and (think planes, trains, and automobiles [Uber/Lyft/Doordash, etc.]) – and counting.

All of these things we rely on for our everyday lives today. If the system behind these is not available for any reason it can have a major impact on the global economy.

This session will discuss the architecture decisions that need to be made to ensure that the systems you are designing can stay up and running through cyber attacks, infrastructure updates, software updates, database maintenance, etc.

Presenter: Dwaine Snow
Dwaine Snow is a WorldWide enablement leader helping clients ensure they are safe now, and into the Quantum era through cyber resiliency, zero trust, and data security solutions that keep their systems and data safe and always available.

Getting Started with Quantum Computing Hands-on

Network event

318 attendees from 101 groups hosting

Link visible for attendees

Topic repeated at 2 different times, please join the session that is best suited for your time zone.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of programming a quantum computer. We will use the IBM Quantum platform to create quantum circuits both visually using the Circuit Composer and with Python code using the open source Qiskit framework.

You will have the opportunity to run your circuits using quantum simulators and on real quantum computers in the IBM Cloud. Attendees should sign-up for a free account on the IBM Quantum platform beforehand at https://quantum-computing.ibm.com to best experience this hands-on session.

Note that this is part 2 of an 8-session series on Quantum Computing on Mar 22/23, Apr 5/6, Apr 19/20, May 3/4, May 17/18, May 31/Jun 1, Jun 14/15, Jul 5/6. The sessions are not prerequisites for each other, and are not recorded. We will provide reference links and do quick recaps of previous content as required, so if you miss an earlier session, you can still get value from subsequent sessions.

Presenter: Christopher Burton

Chris Burton is an IBM Quantum ambassador and certified Qiskit Developer. He is currently completing his thesis on Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and is always open to chatting quantum computing enthusiasts.
