🎉 **KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION** [Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator) **Kismetrix Social — Drinks, Conversation & Connection Under the Sunflowers** Hosted by KISMETRIX \| True Connection 📍 Secret Garden Bar: 7/60 Fitzroy St, St Kilda VIC 3182 📅 Saturday 23 May 2026 🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM *(venue open late)* ## A SATURDAY NIGHT TO ACTUALLY CONNECT There's a place in St Kilda where sunflowers hang from the ceiling, the garden feels like a secret you've stumbled into, and the night just slows down a little. That's where we're hosting Kismetrix Social — our most relaxed evening, designed for singles who want real conversation, good company, and a Saturday night that actually feels like one. Think less "dating event"… more a Saturday night you'd actually choose to go out for. ## 💫 ABOUT THE EVENT Tired of dating apps that go nowhere? Over environments that feel forced or awkward? So were we. KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, genuine connection\. You'll walk into a room full of people who: 🌻 Are open to meeting others 🌻 Enjoy good conversation and social energy 🌻 Prefer real-life interaction over apps 🌻 Are simply here for a good, intentional night out Come for a drink. Stay for the vibe. See where the night goes. ## 🌻 THE VIBE Picture it: warm lighting, hanging sunflowers above your head, the garden buzzing softly around you, and the kind of crowd where it's actually easy to start a conversation. Expect: 🌻 A welcome drink in your hand within a minute of arriving 🌻 A warm, hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost 🌻 Hosted introductions early in the evening to help conversations get started 🌻 Free-flowing mingling with light support from our hosts throughout the night 🌻 Conversation prompts on each table, if the room needs them 🌻 A relaxed, social crowd of intentional singles No rotations. No forced formats. No hookup-bar energy. Just a thoughtfully designed night under the sunflowers, with people who actually want to meet someone. ## 👥 AGE GUIDE: 28–45 Kismetrix Social is open to all singles who care about meaningful connection. We provide an age guide so you know what to expect — most of our guests will fall within this range. The focus of our events is intentional people, not strict age groups. If you're slightly outside this range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book. ## 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR This event is for singles who: 🌻 Prefer a relaxed, social way to meet people 🌻 Enjoy conversation without forced formats 🌻 Want something more grounded than the apps 🌻 Appreciate good venues, good drinks, good company 🌻 Are open, friendly, and easy-going Come solo or with a friend — most people come solo. You'll be in good company. ## 🍽️ FOOD & DRINKS Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival. Secret Garden has a great food and drinks menu throughout the night, available directly from the venue. Perfect if you'd like to make a full evening of it — and many of our guests do. ## 🎟 TICKETS 🌻 Early-Bird — $39 🌻 Bring-a-Friend Early-Bird — $35 each (paired bookings only) 🌻 General — $45 🌻 Last Minute— $55 Welcome drink included at every tier. Tickets are limited to maintain a comfortable, social atmosphere — early booking is recommended. ## 💡 WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS 🌻 No swiping. No apps. Just real people 🌻 No awkward formats or forced interactions 🌻 Thoughtful structure without rigidity 🌻 A genuinely enjoyable night — even if you come solo 🌻 Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels Many guests come "just for a drink"… and end up staying all night. ## ✨ WHERE KISMETRIX SOCIAL FITS Kismetrix Social is our most accessible event — a relaxed, hosted evening for singles who want real connection without the structure of our Elevated Evenings or the formality of our Dinners. It's the easiest way to experience how we do things, and many guests go on to join our other events from here. ## 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES 🌻 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating 🌻 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue 🌻 Participation in introductions is always optional 🌻 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential 🌻 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable ## 🔗 STAY CONNECTED WITH KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION 📧 [social@kismetrix.com.au](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator) 🌐 [www.kismetrix.com.au](http://www.kismetrix.com.au/ "http://www.kismetrix.com.au") 📱 Follow us on Instagram, Facebook & Eventbrite 📄 Important Notice: By registering for this event\, you confirm that you have read and agree to Kismetrix \| True Connection's Terms & Conditions\, Privacy Policy\, Disclaimer and Code of Conduct\. 🤝 Collaborations: [collabs@kismetrix.com.au](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/may-23-kismetrix-social-a-hosted-singles-evening-at-secret-garden-tickets-1988384078304?aff=oddtdtcreator)

[Register for A11y Bytes Melbourne 2026](https://events.humanitix.com/a11y-bytes-2026-melbourne) The heart of digital accessibility and inclusion is not about guidelines, codes or regulations. It’s about people, and life, and how we live, how we access information, and how our lives are affected by the technologies of today. As many as 500 people have attended online Bytes events, as well as physical events in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney attended an A11y Bytes event, making this the largest community run accessibility event in Australia. The event has since branched out into parts of New Zealand and it continues to grow. You don’t have to be an accessibility aficionado to attend.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
