Agenda for the Evening
5:30 - 6:00 PM: Networking
6:00–6:15 PM : Welcome and logistics 🎉
6:15–6:45 PM - Talk 1: Samko Yun - Sr. Solutions Engineer @Neo4j on The Shape of Suspicious Behavior: Anomaly Detection with Graphs. In this session, Samko explores how graph technology can uncover suspicious behaviour such as fraud, money laundering, account sharing, and coordinated activity. Using practical examples and lessons from real-world projects, we’ll look at how graphs help reveal patterns that traditional approaches often miss.

6:45–7:00 PM: Break – Connect with someone new!

7:00–7:30 PM - Talk 2: Justin Warren - Principal Analyst/Founder @PivotNine on Renegotiating the Social Contract for Free Software. This talk explores the social contract of free and open source software in light of recent events, using Elinor Ostrom's work on common pool resources, the Tyrant Test, corporate intentionality, and Stafford Beer's "the purpose of a system is what it does" as lenses.

8:00 PM: Event concludes
