FLow - vocal soundbath and breathwork meditation + freestyle vocal session
🕢 Doors open at 18:30 and sessions start at 19:00.
Freestyle vocal workout at and play session. €8-20
😌 Flow is a state of being… an experience when you allow yourself to be 100% fully engaged in the present moment in a feedback loop between clarity and satisfaction. It is an undeniable sensation where things seem to be more effortless, pleasurable, in sync, and you can easily sense a connection with something greater than yourself; this is what we will create…:
• a connected and mindful meditation where it is possible to blissfully surf the cutting edge of the present moment together…
• a game where it’s possible to feel excited and calm in the same moment, and everyone can win as much as they like…
Scott Bolden, founder of Das Baumhaus Berlin will share some very easy, practical and effective methods developed during the last 12 years of facilitating the “Improvisational Groove Orchestra” (I.G.O.) improv vocal jam sessions.
Within 20 minutes participants learn to use the common sound space to create resonance in the form of improvisational music where it is quite common to experience some real flow moments…
It is very easy to participate, no musical talent or training is required so anyone is welcome to join. All of the session is done with eyes closed to avoid visual distractions and keep focus on the co-created sound space. During these sessions we will also have short breaks for feedback and refreshment.
Important – Please be on time. It is very important to understand the methodology and warm up in the group before joining in!
🎤 @21:00 - Freestyle vocal workshop and practice session.
€8-15
Have you ever wanted to learn how to do freestyle vocalizations? Maybe you are on your way and would like to just have a fun workout session with other vocal freestyle enthusiasts. All levels welcome.

0.1% Accurate- English Comedy Night

Magdalena, the "fortune teller", combines a crystal ball, questionable predictions and a healthy dose of dark humour in a show that's as absurd as it is entertaining.
Described by the 'Scotsman' (top newspaper in the UK) as 'unexpected, clever, ridiculous but great stuff, crystal ball and all', this interactive comedy has left audiences worldwide laughing and wondering what just happened.
Some say it's life-changing, others call it pure nonsense-but no one escapes without a few laughs, some spirit summoning and answers you probably didn't want.
**Sold out run in Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2025**
Reserve your seat for just €2, and at the end of the show, you decide what it was worth (suggested contribution: €10-15). Reservations are held until 10 minutes before the show starts. This is a paid show—you just get to choose how much to pay.

The Lineup for the evening
**Talk 1: Text2SQL in the Wild — Agentic Workflows & Semantic Models on Customer Data**
**Abstract**: Translating a business user's natural language question into a reliable SQL query has huge value for business analysts, but doing it accurately at scale, on messy enterprise data, for complex queries, is incredibly difficult. This talk walks through a production Text2SQL system built on four pillars: semantic models built on customer data, RAG-based semantic search, an agentic verification and correction loop for building the SQL, and an evaluation framework for the entire process.
Raw schema information is not enough for text2sql to work. Rather, thorough documentation including business metrics, synonyms, and qualified example queries, are required. We'll cover how to automate this documentation pipeline by mining query logs, generating descriptions with LLMs, and organizing everything into a knowledge graph and vector search index. From there, we'll dive into the agentic flow that takes a user question and iteratively generates, validates, and fixes SQL against a live database. The agentic framework analyses syntax errors and execution results to help it fix the SQL. Participants will leave with practical takeaways on RAG architecture for structured data, agentic retry patterns, and how to think about evaluation for Text2SQL systems in production.
**Speaker**: Oren Matar
**Bio**: Oren Matar is a principal data scientist and algorithms developer, with a background in social sciences and Bayesian methods. He specializes in NLP and time series forecasting, as well as agentic methods for data retrieval and processing.
**Talk 2: Interpreting and Communicating Statistical Models**
**Abstract**: Extracting actionable insights from complex statistical models remains a challenge, as raw coefficients are often uninterpretable due to nonlinearity, interactions, or hierarchical structures. This talk introduces a unified framework for model interpretation based on the principles of the Marginal Effects project ([https://marginaleffects.com/](https://marginaleffects.com/)). We move away from internal model parameters toward quantities of interest, such as marginal effects and adjusted predictions that translate statistical output into the "natural language" of the data.
We will demonstrate these concepts in Python using the Bambi interpret module, showcasing a seamless workflow for interpreting Bayesian models built on PyMC. The audience will learn how to use the four primary interpretative pillars: Predictions, Comparisons, Slopes, and Marginal Means to compute average marginal effects and visualize conditional relationships. By the end of this session, you will be equipped to turn sophisticated GLMs and multi-level models into clear, rigorous narratives that are easily communicated to stakeholders.
**Speaker**: Juan Orduz
**Bio**: Juan is a Mathematician (Ph.D. Humboldt Universität zu Berlin) and Principal Data Scientist at PyMC Labs. He is interested in interdisciplinary applications of mathematical methods. In particular, time series analysis, Bayesian methods, and causal inference.
**Lightning talks**
There will be slots for 2-3 Lightning Talks (3-5 Minutes for each) between the two main talks.
Kindly let us know if you would like to present something :)

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works
Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for speakers for our Monthly Meetups! Fill out the form if you are interested in presenting to the Python Community.
