7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era
Tue, Oct 13, 10:30 PM**Note special location: Intuit, 8 Spadina Ave, 19th Floor** **7 Ways You Can Build an Amazing Dev Career in the AI Era** Are you also wondering where you fit in all of this? Every day, you are bombarded with claims that AI will transform software development. Is this an unprecedented opportunity or an existential threat? After more than 30 years in the software industry, I've seen technologies create opportunities, destroy opportunities, and completely reshape careers. Yet... there are always professionals who seem to thrive regardless of the changes happening around them. Why do some become more valuable... while others struggle? This presentation will face the myths around AI head-on and explore how you can create opportunities in the age of AI... instead of being afraid and scrambling to keep up. Because the future may belong to those who understand something deeper than technology itself... **About the venue** Intuit has generously offered to host Toronto JUG in their downtown office at The Well. They will provide some food and drinks. **Speaker Bio** Since 1995, Bruno has been helping Java developers advance their careers and work on exciting projects.

Thu, Oct 15, 10:00 PM### The Hip Haus presents: [Professionals Networking Event](https://thehiphaus.com "https://thehiphaus.com")! Hosted at Aitch ### \*\*\*\* What is The Hip Haus? \*\*\*\*The Hip Haus is an organization that exists to empower young and experienced professionals alike in the GTA and help the growth of local business. As professionals (especially post pandemic world) it is sometimes difficult to network with other like minded individuals, get good career advice or simply make connections with others you may be able to help or get help from. The Hip Haus is committed to providing social gatherings in an atmosphere where such networking can take place. \*\*\*\* Who Should Attend? \*\*\*\*The Hip Haus events are ***19+***. The focus however is the growth and development of professionals in the GTA. It doesn’t matter if you are a business owner, have a job, are looking for a job, recently graduated university/college, still in university/college, looking for others to launch a new idea or just want to meet other professionals, our events are for you. Remember that Industry is Industry. One is not better than the other to The Hip Haus. We are expecting a diverse range of industry professionals. Our events in clude professionals from Tech & AI to Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Artists, Bankers, I.T Professionals, Accountants, Investors, Advertising/Marketing Professionals, Bloggers, Authors, Lawyers, Doctors, Dentists (This List Can Clearly Go On). ALL ARE WELCOME! \*\*\*\* What to Expect at Our Events? \*\*\*\*Bring Business cards or have your LinkedIn QR code at the ready. Networking! That is the key to these events. Sure it can be a great place to hang out and have a beer with a few friends but it is important to come with an open mind to meet new people and make new connections. Build your network of friends/colleagues/advisors to help yourself as well as them. The Hip Haus wants the professionals of the GTA to come together to help foster personal and professional development. \*\*\*\* Dress Code! \*\*\*\*This is a tricky one. There is NO strict dress code but remember this; you are meeting professionals in an informal manner and we all know first impressions last forever. Come dressed in a way that would allow you to be comfortable and professional according to your industry. Consider This…would a professional musician/artist necessarily dress the same as an investment banker at work? Be who you are or who you want to be. #YoungProfessionalsNetworking #ProfessionalsNetworking #EntrepreneurNetworking #FounderEvents #FounderNetworking #AINetworkingToronto #TechNetworkingEvents #YoungProfessionalsAI #EntrepreneursAI #AIandTechToronto #NetworkingEventsGTA #IssabellsToronto **\*\* Let's Get Social!\*\*** WEB: [www.thehiphaus.com](http://www.thehiphaus.com/ "http://www.thehiphaus.com/") [INSTAGRAM](m/thehiphaus/ "m/thehiphaus/") \| [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/thehiphaus "https://www.facebook.com/thehiphaus") \| [TWITTER](https://twitter.com/thehiphaus "https://twitter.com/thehiphaus")

ROTMAN Author Talk: Power of Situations
Thu, Oct 8, 9:00 PMWe attend various ROTMAN events each year. Author Talks. Book Releases. Visiting Professors. ### **Agenda:** 5:00 pm - Check-in opens + light refreshments 5:30 pm - Author presentation and moderated Q&A 6:30 pm - Meet-and-greet with author + book signing ### **Book Synopsis:** **From the #1 bestselling author of *Grit,* a new book that reveals the hidden power of situations—and how you can shape them to bring out your best.** Angela Duckworth, PhD, is the bestselling author of *Grit* and the founder and CEO of Character Lab. A 2013 MacArthur Fellow, she is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. **In Angela Duckworth’s first book, she showed that a common denominator of successful strivers is a blend of passion and perseverance she dubbed “grit.**” Ticket link is below. $22-$45 This second book springs from her deepening realization that grit, while necessary, is sometimes not sufficient. How you situate yourself to meet a challenge can be crucial. Duckworth’s in-depth research reveals the enormous influence wielded by the objects within arm’s reach, your peers and mentors, and even your zip code. Though you’re often told to make the best of your situation, it is far, far better to make your situation better first. **In *Situated*, you’ll discover:** * Why your personality changes, sometimes dramatically, from one situation to another—and how you can harness that shift * The secret to conquering temptation *without* willpower * Why taking the less effortful path can feel like cheating but often solves a stubborn problem * How the company you keep shapes the person you become * The most effective ways to help others succeed ***TICKET Link here-***- https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/news-events-and-ideas/public-events/events-listings/2026/october-2026/oct-8---angela-duckworth/
