Open Coffee

We are writers of all levels – beginners to published. And we meet at STARBUCK at IFC (P2 Shop2097-2098, International Finance Centre), Central for fun writing and sharing sessions! We all write a one-sentence prompt, then each select one at random. We write something based on the prompt for 45 minutes, after which, we share our work with each other and discuss as desired. Of course, sharing is optional but encouraged. (Feedback is always polite and respectful.) Alternatively, you can bring your own project(s) to work on in the company of fellow writers (published and yet-to-be published). You can share your project(s), too, if you want. It's all about creativity and productivity in a supportive environment! Any questions, just reach out to our organizers through Meetup.

There are 2 sessions we will presenting in AgentCon Hong Kong 2026 Conference Date: 11-April-2026 Time: 10:00am - 05:00pm Venue: **Hong Kong Institute of Information Technology (HKIIT) (VTC Tsing Yi Complex) ,** 20A Tsing Yi Road Tsing Yi Island, New Territories Hong Kong Session 1: **[Workshop] Jailbreaking the Ghost: Anatomy of a Secure Agent** Speaker: Alex Au, Henry Wong Time: 1:45pm - 2:40pm Location: Cybersecurity Ctr 412, 413 Session 2: **[Speech] From Idea to Impact: A Realistic 90-day Roadmap for Launching Your First Business AI Agent** Speaker: Eric Chan Time: 4:00pm - 4:25pm (25 min) Location: Computer Room 511 Language: Cantonese -- Registration: Please visit https://globalai.community/chapters/hong-kong/events/agentcon-hong-kong/ and register for the event. Partner: Hong Kong Python User Group https://www.meetup.com/pythonhk/ & Open Source Hong Kong https://opensource.hk/zh/ Agenda Details: [1] **Jailbreaking the Ghost: Anatomy of a Secure Agent** Time: **1:30pm - 2:30pm** Speakers: **Henry Wong - Data Scientist** **Alex Au - Cloud Engineer, Hong Kong Economic Times** Language: **Cantonese** Model: **Workshop** Description: We told developers "Don't paste API keys," but then we gave Agents full Python execution environments and access to production databases. The uncomfortable truth is that most AI Agents today are just Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities with a friendly personality. In this session, we will dismantle a standard "Production Ready" Agent live on stage, demonstrating how a simple prompt injection can exfiltrate secrets. Then, we will rebuild it using Defense in Depth: 1\. Code: block malicious imports\, prompt injections\. 2\. Compute: Sandboxing for isolated workloads\. 3\. Identity: Zero Trust tool usage without worrying leakage of credentials\. Stop building chatbots. Start building secure autonomous systems. [2] **From Idea to Impact: A Realistic 90-day Roadmap for Launching Your First Business AI Agent** Time: **4:00pm - 4:25pm** Speakers: **Henry Wong - Data Scientist** **Alex Au - Cloud Engineer, Hong Kong Economic Times** Language: **Cantonese** Model: **Speech** Description: A roadmap that takes a business from initial AI agent idea to a live, value-creating deployment in 90 days, designed for SMBs, mid-market teams and departments. This talk walks through 4 phases: rapid scoping and prep, fast prototyping, controlled piloting with metrics, and safe production launch. \*\*\* Important notes: 🎉 We’re partnering with AgentCon Hong Kong!

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Coffee and conversation at [The Roosevelt Coffeehouse](https://www.olentangybrew.com/roosevelt-coffee), located at Olentangy River Brewing. They will also have a Venezuelan [food truck](https://www.olentangybrew.com/eventsandfood) that always gets good reviews.

Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads. Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead. Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun. Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards. Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery. Please keep your RSVP current. Knowing how many will attend will help Brothers Drake plan accordingly to accommodate us.

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."

Pay attention! We’re delaying a week for those of you who may be on Spring break and/or celebrating the holiday. Ok, no pancakes, but waffles-a-plenty. Join the local UX and Digital Design community for a casual monthly breakfast. Look for us upstairs!
