Building Information Modelling - BIM

**Trades Together** is not your typical networking event. This is a curated, construction-focused mastermind designed specifically for owners and decision-makers in the trades and the businesses that support them. Each meeting is structured, intentional, and centered on real conversations about growth, leadership, systems, and scaling—not awkward pitches or passing business cards. Join us for a dynamic discussion with other driven owners who understand the challenges of running a trades business and are committed to helping each other win. Expect meaningful connections, practical insights you can apply immediately, and a room full of people who actually show up to contribute. Guests are welcome to attend and experience what makes Trades Together different.

AI tools are evolving at breakneck speed and what we thought worked yesterday (prompt engineering, RAG etc.) are being made obsolete with newer models and tools like Claude Code or Codex etc. At the same time, inside enterprises we are constrained by approval cycles and security restrictions.

[Broken Money: Why Our Financial System Is Failing Us and How We Can Make It Better](https://www.amazon.com/Broken-Money-Financial-System-Failing/dp/B0CG83QBJ6) *Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently. The book's goal is for the reader to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications.* \-\-\-\- From 6:30 - 8:30PM, the Allen R. Baca Center will be our starting point. We will share an educational topic before heading across the street for Bitcoin Happy Hour in historic downtown Round Rock. Some light refreshments will be provided, but you are also welcome to BYOB. We'll also demo some tools and provide opportunities for a little peer to peer circular economy A.K.A. Satoshi Square. The purpose of this group is 2 fold: \*Share knowledge, tools, resources, and benefits of the Bitcoin network for advancing humankind. - Peer to peer networking with other bitcoiners in order to grow adoption by local businesses within our community.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way.

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!

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.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate. Hosted by the Church of Scientology of Central Ohio 1266 Dublin Road, Columbus, OH 43215 For more information, contact Rhiannon, the Event Host at 614-221-5024

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
