The insider travel list for 2026/2027 — and you're invited to hear it first
You know that feeling when your passport is judging you from the drawer?
Yeah. We need to fix that.
**Sunday, May 3rd at 6:30pm**, we're gathering in person — wine in hand, snacks on the table — and spilling everything about where the world's top travel experts say you absolutely *must* go in 2026 and 2027.
Twenty destinations. Curated. Tested. Coconut-approved.
Some will surprise you. Some will make you immediately Google flights. At least one will make you say "wait, that's actually possible for me?"
**Yes. It is.**
This isn't a PowerPoint torture session. It's a *travel conversation* with people who actually go — the real spots, the insider tips, what it's actually like to show up somewhere new with a group of people who become your people by the time you land back home.
Whether you've travelled with us before or you've been "thinking about it" for two years — this night is for you.
**Here's what you'll walk away with:**
✈️ The 20 must-see destinations for 2026/2027 (from the people who actually know) 🧡 A real look at upcoming Playful Coconuts trips and exactly what they're like 👯 A room full of adventure-ready humans who get it 🍷 Wine and snacks, because obviously
📍 **72A Union Street** 🗓 **Sunday, May 3rd** ⏰ **6:30pm Ottawa (I know but we will feed you).**
Space is limited — this is in-person and intimate, not a webinar with 200 strangers.
Come curious. Come hungry. Come ready to say yes to something that scares you just a little.
*(That's where the good stuff lives.)*
**[RSVP RIGHT HERE — I'm coming Sunday → debra@playfulcoconuts.com**
See you there, Sue *Your Coconut Commander*
P.S. — If you've been waiting for a sign to finally plan that trip you keep talking about? This is it. Literally. A sign. In your inbox. You're welcome.
P.P.S. - you can't make it in person? Send us your email address (press reply) and we will flip you the top 20 list immediately.

🌸🌳 CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN HIGH PARK WALK + LUNCH 🌳🌸
🌸🌳 **CHERRY BLOSSOMS IN HIGH PARK WALK + LUNCH** 🌳🌸
**Spring Blooms, Busy Energy & A Tavern Finish**
If the early morning version felt a little too ambitious… this one’s for you.
Join us for a slightly later start to experience the cherry blossoms in High Park — one of Toronto’s most beautiful (and busiest) spring traditions.
For a short window each year, the park fills with soft pink blooms, drawing people from all over the city. It’s vibrant, a little chaotic, and completely worth it.
The cherry trees were originally gifted in 1959 by the citizens of Tokyo through Ambassador Toru-Hagiwara, symbolizing friendship and appreciation. Many were planted along the hillside near Grenadier Pond — and today, they’ve become one of Toronto’s most anticipated seasonal moments.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social walk — come for the blossoms, stay for the experience.
👉 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd)
***
🚶♂️ **What We’ll Do**
We’ll meet at the park and head toward the three main cherry blossom areas, stopping at each so everyone has time to take photos and enjoy the views.
Afterward, we’ll continue on a relaxed walk through the park, passing by the zoo and taking in more of the scenery.
To wrap things up, we’ll head out of the park and make our way to The Mugshot Tavern for a casual lunch together. 🍔🍻
You’re welcome to join for food or head out whenever you like.
Please note: there are hills throughout the park.
***
🌦️ **Weather & Expectations**
This event will happen in typical spring weather — sun, wind, or light rain.
As long as it’s not extreme conditions, we’ll be going ahead.
Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes.
🌸 **IMPORTANT:** Cherry blossom timing can change depending on the season. This event may be moved to another date to catch peak bloom — please keep an eye on updates.
Also — expect crowds. This is a popular event, especially later in the morning.
And as always — this is NOT a guided or historical tour. I’ll share context casually, but the focus is on enjoying the space together.

🚫 Getting There

Parking will be extremely limited or unavailable.
It is strongly recommended to take public transit to High Park Station.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs.
This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context.
We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing.

Choose Your Movie: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES vs HOKUM at Cinemark Stoneridge!
Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk
HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer.
Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
