If you are starting out, the night is *NOT* to be missed! Come and rub shoulders with other successful and aspiring property investors – you are welcome whether you are a beginner or have a few already! Spend an evening learning from someone who is walking the walk and actually doing it! Years in training rooms. Countless networking events. Zero properties bought. Sound familiar? That's exactly where Ant and Lyd were. Until Ant drove to Wales with a box of chocolates and came home with three houses. At the **[London Property Networking event @ The Alma on 30th March](https://t8qky6cab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=0016YJco3QNRh6KejwLVZWUdjzs49_iOyOR8rNSaSq9M8brbpNT0OHuCllMY6BsILAUQI7khVPrGGllqpgLSbillbePeBo9GeW_U9UZvICEubCyFUGfpOB0f1DmTct9nfeqGU_5VfK1-1TRrbGTFkP1ybkHXfAR8OhVK8DY6pWyVrA6Cr0NYKsgcYY3n1bkZwdMtSRLlL_B3WwdsKTCWuxxj-GWI2-MTaQfTH97dcKJsZTFxKHSjAACUBKMoSwQ0tFVRjw-AtTn-0E=&c=Wj55zSy3-NidcNkiIv5CESXSCfUCvKnosC0ky8c5o0DOnIi4AznfMA==&ch=yxEJvdIRar15m5f6tigEQcKoeqrEXzhD0GjG1TFuEZKiXp12BPLwng==)**, they're telling you exactly how they went from overthinking to action, and how they built their portfolio buying baby buy-to-lets. This isn't a success story from someone who had it all figured out. This is the real story. The mistakes. The expensive lessons. The things that actually worked. And the honest truth about what matters when you're building a portfolio. What Ant & Lyd will cover: * How to actually start after years of learning - what finally got them from training to taking action, and how you can stop overthinking and start buying * Sourcing deals that others miss - their methods for finding baby buy-to-lets in areas that work, including the Wales strategy that landed three properties in one trip * Managing refurbs without losing your shirt - real costs, real timelines, and real problems they hit along the way * What they'd do differently - the honest mistakes, the expensive lessons, and what actually matters when you're building a portfolio Why This Event Is Different! Most property events are full of get-rich-quick nonsense and theoretical waffle. This isn't one of them. You'll be surrounded by people who are actually doing it - real investors, brokers, accountants, and finance experts who make money from property every single day. Reserve your place now - spaces are limited.

The world is in crisis and many people think we've gone past the tipping point and the planet is doomed. However, there are those who have hope and faith in science that some can survive the polycrisis and get to live in a sustainable society and planet. But there's a problem... **There's no clear vision of what a sustainable society and planet should be**, and without that destination, how can we set out on the journey to get there? Please join like-minded people to discuss this. We'll agree an agenda at the start of the meeting. Bring an open mind, suggestions and perhaps a pad of paper. **Here are some topics to be covered.** Please use the comments/chat to suggest other areas for consideration *Depending on the mood of attendees, the frequency of further meetups can be agreed.* **WHAT DO WE WANT A SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY AND PLANET TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE?** · A planet with clean atmosphere, oceans and soil with systems in place to keep them that way · The abolition of poverty and hunger · Equality of opportunity for all to achieve a peaceful and contented life without fear of physical or other violence · Access to healthcare, hygiene and sanitation for all · Access to quality education for all · A more responsible system of financial structures which embraces the best of co-operative production, capitalism and other systems · A safe justice system for all · Societies which respect for the diversity of opinion, ethnicity, sexuality, religion · Respect for the natural resources and fragility of Planet Earth and their finite capacity · Societies where the more fortunate, stronger and healthier help those less strong, less fortunate or less healthy. · Peaceful co-existence between the varying communities of the planet **What Freedoms ?** · Freedom to travel anywhere · Freedom to worship (should there be limitation such as worship should not be based on destroying the existing system…??) · Freedom from violence · Freedom from hate · Freedom from poverty (how define?) · Freedom of speech · Freedom from anxiety about the future · Freedom from concentration of power · Freedom to preserve culture and arts · Freedom to make decisions about one’s body · Freedom to seek representation and to represent others · Freedom to be different · Freedom to be heard

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
