The Mental Peace lab is a weekly meditation class where you get to tune in to peaceful mental states, which is the core of Buddhist meditation. Different approaches allow to do this, which we'll explore together. The class each time consists of a guided meditation, a practical and interactive Buddhist teaching and concludes with a nice collective meditation that draws from this teaching. After this, for those who wish, tea is served and we can chat :) The class is taught in English by an experienced meditator and translated sequentially into Greek. Wearing confortable clothes is advised. Seating is on chairs or on cushions. There is a suggested donation of 5 EUR which can be paid in cash or by REVOLUT/IRIS. Hoping to welcome you !

👋 Hello guys and gals, 👋 🎉🎉🎉 Summer is coming — get ready for the event. 🎉🎉🎉 Doors open at 18:00, and your **ID is required** for entrance. 18:15 - 18:30 - Gathering and welcome from the organizers. 18:30 - 19:00 - Marios Tsigkas - How We Use AI Agent Workflows with Cursor at TalentLMS 19:00 - 19:30 - Nestor Lopez - Federation of Specialists: From Module Federation to AI Orchestration 19:30 - 20:00 - George Karalis - Exploring MCP Apps: Practical Use Cases for the Enterprise [Get your CityJS Athens Blind tickets now before the end of Month as our prices will go Save 50% off.](https://athens.cityjsconf.org) **Nestor Lopez //** **Federation of Specialists: From Module Federation to AI Orchestration** The industry has already learned how to break frontend monoliths apart without breaking the product experience. A similar shift is now happening in AI. This talk traces the move from federated UI and composable runtime systems to a federation of AI specialists—and shows why production AI works better when agents have clear roles, controlled tools, workflow hooks, shared collaboration context, and policy boundaries. **George Karalis - Exploring MCP Apps: Practical Use Cases for the Enterprise** What happens when you give an LLM structured access to your company's actual systems, its APIs, data, internal tools? MCP Apps are a new extension to the Model Context Protocol that lets servers return interactive HTML interfaces, dashboards, forms, data explorers, rendered directly inside the conversation. Instead of bouncing users between chat and separate web apps, the UI lives right where the discussion happens, with bidirectional data flow and sandboxed security. We'll look at how tool handlers expose API endpoints to LLMs, how OAuth fits into the picture, and how the data and context flow into a React app rendered inside the conversation. Whether you're considering MCP for your own product or just curious about what generative UI looks like, this talk will give you a practical intro on building AI-native enterprise tools with React. A word from our sponsors. * [EPIGNOSIS](https://www.epignosishq.com/) * [CityJS Conferences](https://cityjsconf.org) 🏆Mini surprise🏆 🍕Pizzas🍕 🦸‍♀️Socializing🦸‍♂️!

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.

**🎉 Our very first NestJS Meetup!** Join us for an after-work technical meetup focused entirely on the **NestJS Framework**. Connect with fellow engineers over drinks and snacks, and dive into practical, architecture-focused sessions designed to level up your backend development. Whether you're exploring the framework or deploying it at scale, this event is built for you. **Talk 1: From Request to Response – Observing Fastify in NestJS** * **Getting Started:** Core concepts, project scaffolding, and leveraging NestJS's modular architecture for scalable applications. * **The Request Lifecycle:** A deep dive into the execution flow. Understand the exact ordering of Middleware, Guards, Interceptors, Pipes, Exception Filters, and Controllers. * **Observability with Interceptors:** Implement cross-cutting concerns (logging, metrics, payload transformation, error tracking) cleanly without polluting business logic. **Talk 2: Clean CQRS with Pipelines** * **CQRS Implementation:** Build clean and maintainable CQRS architectures using pipeline behaviors for commands, queries, and events. * **Centralized Logic:** Encapsulate logging, correlation IDs, authorization, and validation in reusable components. * **The Outcome:** Achieve decoupled event flows, consistent validation, and significantly improved system maintainability. **Event Details** * Two technical deep-dives + Q&A + Networking * Drinks & Snacks provided * Backend Engineers. All NestJS experience levels welcome! Come learn, share your architectural insights, and help grow the local NestJS engineering community. We look forward to seeing you!

Join us for an engaging panel discussion on **AI Agentic Coding** and how autonomous AI systems are transforming the way software is built. Experts in AI, software engineering, and developer tools will share insights on how agentic AI—systems that can plan, reason, and execute coding tasks—is reshaping modern development workflows. The discussion will cover topics such as AI-assisted development, productivity gains, challenges around reliability and governance, and what the future of software engineering may look like with AI agents as collaborators. Whether you’re a developer, tech leader, or AI enthusiast, this session is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and explore how agentic AI is redefining coding

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? 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

A WiA Collective Wisdom Exchange At the start of this year, we gathered to look back, set intentions, and imagine the next chapter. This is the follow-up. Not a check-in. Not a progress report. A small, facilitated circle to reconnect with what you said mattered — and honestly explore what’s actually happening now. Together, we’ll explore: • What you intended at the start of this year - and what that looks like three months in • What’s surprised you, supported you, or shifted • What the next chapter needs now that you know what you know If you were at our January gathering, bring whatever you made or wrote — your word, your artifact, your intention. We’ll look at it with fresh eyes. If this is your first time, you belong here too. You’ll start where we all started: with what’s true right now. Optional art materials will be available for anyone who wants to reflect creatively alongside conversation. If you brought something home from January, you’re warmly invited to bring it back. The intention is the same as always: everyone leaves feeling more clear, more connected, and a little lighter. Space is intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate. What to Expect • A small, welcoming circle (not a large meetup) • Structured conversation so everyone has space to speak • Reflection, listening, and lived experience — not advice-giving • Optional creative reflection alongside conversation • A calm, supportive environment Who This Is For Women and underrepresented folks working in or around agile, product, technology, leadership, or organizational change — especially those looking for honest conversation and community beyond frameworks and buzzwords. Good to Know • No preparation required • If you attended in January, we invite you to bring anything you created or wrote (or something that represents your intention at the start of the year) - it’s optional but invited • Participation is invitational; listening is always welcome • Creative activities are optional
