**Tired of endless swiping and superficial speed dating?** You’re not the only one. Most people who join us say the same thing: Dating started to feel rushed, performative, or strangely disconnected. So we built something different. Conscious Connections Club hosts Relational Labs — guided social experiences designed to spark real conversation, emotional depth, and authentic connection. Events now run in **40+ cities across six continents**, bringing together singles who value curiosity, presence, and meaningful interaction. Before joining an event, everyone attends a short alignment call so you can understand the space and decide if it feels like your kind of people. **[Get the Zoom Link →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)** *** **What Happens On The Call** This is a 35-minute alignment call with the founder. On the call you’ll learn: • why this community was created • how Relational Labs are different from speed dating or typical singles events • how we curate intentional spaces across 40+ cities • what actually happens at the events • why many people return again and again Some calls have two people, others twenty or more. You’re welcome to simply listen and get a feel for the space. Many people attend their first event alone — and most leave having met someone they genuinely want to see again. Sometimes it becomes friendship. Sometimes romance. Often it's simply the relief of realizing you're not the only one craving deeper connection. *** **[See If This Is Your Scene →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)** *** **Why We Require This Call** The introduction helps us keep events intentional, respectful, and aligned. It also gives you the chance to decide if the experience feels right for you before joining a live event. No pressure. Just clarity. *** **[Get the Zoom Link →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)**

We are pleased to bring you two talks this time. This event will be held in the offices of our sponsor Moro Technology, 28is Oktovriou 5, Omonia square, Stoa Trikoupi. **1st talk:** "Building with Antigravity" by [Mete Atamel ](https://www.linkedin.com/in/meteatamel/) **Abstract:** Google Antigravity transforms your regular IDE into an agentic development platform. Beyond basic tab completion, Antigravity offers an intuitive, artifact-based approach to monitoring and providing feedback to agents. By utilizing rules, workflows, and skills, you can fully customize the environment to your team’s best practices, while a dedicated browser subagent handles tasks outside the editor. Last but not least, its Agent Manager can spin up and coordinate multiple parallel agents across various workflows, allowing you to work at a higher level than the code itself. **Presenter:** Mete is a Software Engineer and a Developer Advocate at Google in London. He builds tools, demos, tutorials, and [gives talks](https://atamel.dev/speaker-profile/) to educate and help developers to be successful on Google Cloud. **2nd talk:** "Beyond RCA Speed: Understanding Change in Modern Production Systems" by [Spiros Economakis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/spirosoik/) **Abstract:** In cloud-native environments, deployments, configuration updates, scaling events, and dependency changes continuously reshape system behavior. Incidents rarely arrive without warning, they emerge from subtle interactions and behavioral drift that are difficult to interpret using dashboards, alerts, or post-incident analysis alone. This talk explores why improving root cause speed eventually plateaus, and why many teams are shifting focus toward understanding how change propagates through production systems. **Presenter:** A systems engineer with over 12 years of experience in diverse tech environments and author of "Argo CD in Practice" book. Founder & CEO of [NOFire AI](https://www.nofire.ai/). A Full Context Embedded SRE platform that operates across the entire lifecycle. Before Change, During Failure, After Resolution.

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

Join us for one of our favorite hikes this Tuesday (4/21/26) at 6:30 pm as we hike the Hoover Dam Scenic Trail, starting at the west end of the dam. This hike includes some paved paths/roads along with some dirt trails, with a few beautiful views of the reservoir. Join us for this 2 mile hike, finding us in the parking lot at the corner of Sunbury and Smoke Burr.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
