Battlestar Galactica

Got a project running on your laptop but not sure how to take it further? This workshop is for you. Join us for a hands-on session led by **Stephen Siegert**, Senior Developer Advocate at **Amazon Web Services**, specializing in Agentic AI, AI builders, and developer experience. We’ll walk through the full journey of turning a side project into a live product using **Kiro** — from early prototype to deployment. You’ll learn what it actually takes to move past “it works on my machine” and make your project accessible to real users. **What we’ll cover:** * Moving from local development to production * Key steps in the product lifecycle * Deploying and hosting your project * Common mistakes (and how to avoid them) * How to think like a builder, not just a coder **Perfect for:** * Students working on side projects * Anyone interested in cloud, AI, or startups * Members preparing for internships or technical roles Come learn from someone working directly at the forefront of cloud and AI, ask questions, and start thinking about your next launch! 🚀

Wizards of Ecom, **Youtube Livestream Link** [https://youtube.com/live/C_d7iPVwFBU?feature=share](https://youtube.com/live/C_d7iPVwFBU?feature=share) In today's event Focus on High-Value Strategy: A VA handles the "24-hour grind" (customer service, case logs, and inventory monitoring), freeing you up to focus on product R&D and brand expansion. Specialized Expertise: Many VAs in 2026 are specialists, not generalists—hiring one specifically for PPC management or A+ Content design often yields a higher ROI than trying to learn those complex skills yourself. Cost-Effective Scalability: You can scale your workforce up during peak seasons (like Prime Day) and down during lulls without the overhead of full-time employee benefits or office space. **Instagram Handle** @wizardsofecom **Youtube Channel** https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp8itN-dnqJ1AbANGCe1qIA **Linkedin** [www.linkedin.com/in/wizardsofecom](https://app.process.st/www.linkedin.com/in/wizardsofecom) **ALL meetups are always 100% FREE** If you want to access the recording of this event and all previous events you can do so at [academy.wizardsofecom.com](https://academy.wizardsofecom.com/) #### This Meetup event is sponsored by [#SellersFi](https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird) [#PickFu](https://www.pickfu.com/wizardsofamazon) [#RimorCorp](http://www.rimorcorp.com/) [#Rivly](https://rivly.com/) [#AVASK](https://www.avaskgroup.com/) [#EcommerceChris](https://www.ecommercechris.com/) [#ConnectedCommerceCouncil](https://connectedcouncil.org/join) [ ](https://junglescout.com/)[#Alibaba. ](https://www.alibaba.com/?spm=a27aq.cp_15.scGlobalHomeHeader.4.7f804e30A4rcHw&tracelog=mkt_woe).[#Levanta](https://get.levanta.io/20off/woe?utm_campaign=20%25%20off%20Gold%20Plan&utm_source=Wizards-Of-Ecom&utm_medium=member-offer) [#SellerAssistant ](https://www.sellerassistant.app/?utm_source=wizardsofecom&utm_medium=partner&utm_campaign=partnership) [#Unicargo](https://www.unicargo.com/?utm_source=wizardscommunity&utm_medium=traffic&utm_campaign=wizards_traffic) [#GETIDA](https://online.getida.com/woe) [ ](http://sellerboard.com/woe)[#KLAVIYO.](https://www.klaviyo.com/partner/signup?utm_source=001Nu00000LBYK6IAP&utm_medium=partner) #### [#CPA By Choice](https://www.cpabychoice.com/woe) Get your finances in order and reclaim your time — partner with CPA By Choice today so you can focus on what matters while we handle your accounting, tax and financial needs.[https://www.cpabychoice.com/woe](https://www.cpabychoice.com/woe) Get up to $1 Million of working capital in as little as 48 hrs. to take your eCommerce business to the next level of growth with SellersFi [https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird](https://sellersfi.com/?aff=bluebird) AVASK is the #1 provider in helping to expand your eCommerce business internationally, with our proven track record of supplying clients a first class service with VAT compliance, EPR, Customs and accounting services.

...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..." See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride! TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rmm-lM33Qw0&t=19s PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet in the lobby area about 30 minutes before showtime. Once showtimes are announced, advance ticket purchase is advised (GFC website preferred)! Please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. Showtimes and complete details will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. PARKING: Close, convenient parking is available in the nearby garage (located between 9th and 11th, just off High St). Bring your ticket with you and have it validated at the theater and for $2, you’re covered for the night! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
