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.

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

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
