We are moving past the hype of autonomous agents and focusing on the infrastructure, orchestration, and local execution patterns that make them reliable. This session follows a fast-paced lightning talk format: 10-minute deep dives followed by 5 minutes of technical Q&A. We are prioritizing code, architecture diagrams, and live terminal sessions over slide decks. ### 🎙️ **Featured Technical Sessions** We have curated three exclusive preview talks from Docker: * **Docker Agent: Simplifying AI Agent Creation** David Gageot and Djordje Lukic will demonstrate how to streamline the lifecycle of an AI agent using Docker-native patterns. * **Docker Sandboxes** Guillaume Lours will show how to use Docker Sandboxes to run agents freely and safely. * **Compose & Dragons: Tiny Language Models in Action** Philippe Charrière explores agentic role-play powered by local, high-efficiency tiny language models. ### ⚡ Submit Your Lightning Talk Proposal Do you have a working experiment involving Docker, AI agents, or containerized developer tools? We are looking for a few additional high-signal lightning talks. Skip the product pitch and show us the code, the prompt engineering strategies, or the orchestration logic you are currently using to solve technical challenges.

The Dissident Salon is a weekly poetry and performance series created as an extension of the DISSIDENT Club’s mission to provide a home for dissenting voices, hosted by Alissa Leeds. Rooted in the tradition of the literary salon, it treats writing and performance as public acts that question power and challenge the systems that shape our lives. Each week features a curated performer, followed by open mic sessions open to all. Work may be presented in English, French, or other languages. Multilingual expression is central to the space and reflects the realities of exile, displacement, and exchange that define the DISSIDENT Club. The Salon is an ongoing forum for people who speak publicly and think critically through art. It exists to build community and support sustained creative work within the broader ecosystem of the DISSIDENT Club. **When:** Every Tuesday, starting January 6th, 2026 **Sign-ups:** 8:00 PM **Sets:** Three 45-minute sessions at 9:00 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:00 PM **Where:** The DISSIDENT Club, 58 rue Richer, 75009 Bring work that confronts. We offer the microphone.

**Pourquoi “Le prétexte” ?** Parce que cette rencontre est justement cela : un prétexte simple et assumé pour réunir des personnes qui accordent une vraie importance à la liberté. Il n’y a pas de sujet imposé. Le point commun, ce n’est pas un thème précis : c’est une valeur. Le reste dépend des personnes présentes, des questions qu’elles apportent, des désaccords qu’elles assument, et des idées que la conversation fera naître. Le but est d’échanger, de rencontrer, de réfléchir, et **surtout de passer une bonne soirée**. Esprit de la soirée : \- discussion libre \- ambiance détendue \- désaccords permis \- bonne foi exigée \- respect indispensable Venez comme vous êtes : pour parler beaucoup, écouter, plaisanter, ou simplement pour passer un bon moment avec ceux que la liberté attire encore à Paris. **Le prétexte, c’est la rencontre.** **Le vrai sujet, c’est la liberté.** [Comment nous trouver : cherchez les affichettes "Meetup" sur les tables, ou demandez au staff.]

Billets : À l’occasion du Festival de la Terre organisé par Nouvelle Acropole à Paris, Christian ARNSPERGER vient nous parler d'une économie des profondeurs au-delà de la croissance et du profit. Cette conférence part d'un constat : la crise écologique n’est pas seulement une crise technique ou économique, mais une crise de sens. Notre économie de la croissance et du profit fonctionne comme une forme de spiritualité implicite, promettant intensité de vie et accomplissement tout en contribuant à l’épuisement du vivant et des humains. \*\*\* A l'occasion de la Journée de la Terre, le Festival de la Terre-Mère ouvre un parcours de réflexion pour prendre soin du vivant : * Trois rencontres en dessinent l’axe : * avec Thierry Janssen, revisiter l’Égypte ancienne où le soin du vivant formait un projet moral et spirituel ; * avec Marie-Hélène Straus, écouter la sagesse des Kogis, peuple qui n’a jamais rompu l’alliance avec la Terre ; * avec Christian Arnsperger, interroger notre présent et la possibilité d’une économie des profondeurs au-delà du capitalisme. \*\*\*\* Christian Arnsperger est professeur en durabilité et anthropologie économique à l’Institut de géographie et durabilité de l’Université de Lausanne. Économiste et philosophe, il travaille depuis de nombreuses années sur les alternatives post-croissance, en explorant les liens entre transition écologique, transformation des modes de vie et renouvellement des imaginaires économiques. **Modalités** * Date : vendredi 24 avril 2026 * Horaire : 20h – 21h30 * Possibilité de participer également aux autres événements du Festival de la Terre.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

A connection catalyst and culture strategist, she helps people understand why they show up the way they do, and how to bridge the gap between intention and impact. Whether you're navigating change, life’s challenges, or simply trying to better understand yourself and others. Annette gives you the language and the lens to get there. **Elizabeth Wangugi** Creator of The Nap Concert and the RESTOR™ framework, Elizabeth is here to tell you that rest is not a reward - it’s a strategy. Rooted in neuroscience and restorative practice, her work helps high-achievers stop running on fumes and start leading from a place of actual capacity. If your calendar is full and your tank is empty, Elizabeth might be the most important person you hear from at Confidence Lab. **Stephanie Andrews** Founder of Social Black Butterfly Training & Consulting, Stephanie knows what it takes to lead through complexity because she’s done it across social services, healthcare, and operations. She specializes in succession strategy and leadership development, equipping leaders to build trust, navigate the hard moments, and leave something worth inheriting. Stephanie doesn’t just develop leaders. She develops the kind of leaders people actually want to follow. **Lillian Morales-Laster** SVP Human Resources Director at United Midwest Savings Bank and Executive Director of the Empowering Latinas Leadership Academy (ELLA). Lillian has spent her career combining her passion for equity and inclusion with her experience in human resources to lead teams and organizations in the development of supportive work environments. She leads with a vision of ensuring Latinas' voices are included in crucial decision-making processes, because for Lillian, ELLA is more than just a program. It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes. **Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it. She asks the questions most people are afraid to, creates space for honest reckoning, and somehow makes the hard work feel energizing.
