To see all meetups in this group: https://www.meetup.com/pro/ibm-community/

This is an IBM sponsored Meetup group geared towards developers, data scientists, data engineers, and ALL Big Data, Cloud and AI enthusiasts. Our meetups provide an opportunity to work hands on with the solutions and tools in our Big Data portfolio and to interact and share knowledge with experts at IBM and in our extended community.

Our Meetups typically include a 45-60 minute presentation that serves as an introduction and overview for a specific Data or Cognitive topic, as well as other topics that the community is interested in. It is followed by a possible demonstration or networking with fellow developers to collaborate on applying your data skills. Depending upon the location, we can provide a cloud environment with the technologies needed, that you can use from your laptop at NO cost to you. Our meetups are FREE.

Meetup topics include (but are not limited to):

- Cognitive Solutions
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Science
- Machine Learning
- Cloud Technologies
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Data Visualization
- Java development
- Open Source Technologies: Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Python, R and others
- Data-centric Application Development
- Open Source Hadoop, SQL on Hadoop, R on Hadoop, Integration, Governance, ...
- Real Time Analytics & Stream Computing
- Text Analytics
- Relational and NOSQL Databases
- Predictive/Prescriptive Analytics
- Deep dives into the technologies that makes big data processing possible

Join us today to learn more about what is possible with software development and topics important to your community.

How to Provide Agents an AI-Ready Data Platform
Wed, Jun 10 · 11:30 AM EDT
One Madison, 1 Madison Avenue, NYC, NY, US
To attend, you must register here https://www.ibm.com/events/reg/flow/ibm/caa9mtmb/landing/page/landing
You will also see the agenda there.

Agentic coding is reshaping how modern applications are built—but success depends on more than just AI tools. Leading teams are adopting Spec-driven development with agentic coding tools to turn clear requirements, APIs, and data models into the control layer for AI applications. Instead of unpredictable outputs, teams get incremental, testable progress guided by shared specifications. The result is higher-quality software, delivered faster, with far less rework and risk.
At the same time, organizations are realizing that without AI-ready data platforms, even the most promising agentic initiatives will fail to deliver real, trustworthy value. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn a practical approach that combines agentic AI coding with a solid data foundation based on IBM watsonx.data.

What you’ll get out of it:
- A structured, repeatable approach to spec-driven development from idea to implementation
- Hands-on experience designing and building a real application via agentic coding tools using a modern, scalable data platform (IBM watsonx.data)
- Understanding of API contracts (e.g., OpenAPI) as a reliable source of truth for teams
- Insight into building a federated, governed, scalable AI-ready data platform
- Immediately applicable skills you can take back to your team and projects
Note: attendees must bring their own devices to participate in labs!
