Community Outing : Strategic Foresight Event
This month, we’re switching things up. Instead of hosting our usual SD Drinks meetup, we’re inviting the group to **attend another event together**:
**Strategic Foresight for Driving Organizational Transformation**, hosted by Rotman BDI.
Strategic foresight i.e. our ability to anticipate and plan for change already comes up often in our SD conversations. This event explores those ideas in practice, with a case study led by the **Centre for Social Innovation**, adding a layer we deeply care about as designers: meaningful impact and tackling complex, wicked problems.
It’s a topic that feels highly relevant to service design, strategy, and systems thinking, and one we know will resonate with the group.
📅 **Date & time:** February 10, 5:30 pm
📍 **Location:** Rotman School of Management, Room 1065
105 St George Street, Toronto, ON M5S 3E6
🎟 **Tickets:** Please register directly via the host’s Eventbrite page
[ https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/strategic-foresight-for-driving-organizational-transformation-tickets-1981007188829](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/strategic-foresight-for-driving-organizational-transformation-tickets-1981007188829)
**Why join as a group?**
This is a great opportunity to:
* explore a topic deeply relevant to design, strategy, and systems thinking
* be inspired by practical foresight frameworks and perspectives
* connect with others, thinking about long-term impact and change
**How we’re doing this:**
Some of us have already registered and plan to attend together. After the event, we’ll grab a drink nearby to continue the conversation — optional, casual, and very SD Drinks 🍻
If you’d like to coordinate or chat ahead of time, the conversation is happening in our Discord event chat: [https://discord.gg/Qc434j5T](https://discord.gg/Qc434j5T)
Hope you can join us, see you there!

**Auberge du Pommier** is fabulous and a must visit for Summer or Winterlicious. We have been here before and those that went thoroughly enjoyed.

FREE Spanish, English, and French Oral Conversational Class 4 Adults!!
\*These classes are not a language exchange, but instead are meant to be a step in between so that students feel confident maintaining in depth and grammatically correct oral conversations outside of class\*
\***Meetup event numbers only tend to show new students registering and do not include returning students attending class.** **Per class, there is an average of 7 students.** The first 2 classes are free and then only cost between $15 and $35 depending on which type of class you want to continue with\*
These French, English (For Spanish and French speakers only), and Spanish classes are primarily meant for adults who are travellers, or who are planning to live in a French, English, or Spanish-speaking country. The classes are primarily oral-based through guided conversations. They will teach you how to handle conversations in situations such as **"Going to the Convenience Store"**, **"Making Plans"**, **"Negotiating Prices"**, and **"Going out for a Drink"**. To ensure that students get used to using the language automatically, students will learn to maintain contextual conversations with timing before moving on to the next lesson. Call (647)787-9953, e-mail us info@monkeylingo.ca, or visit monkeylingo.ca for more information! **Online and private classes are also available!**
No other language classes are as conversational as these ones. We guarantee it! Cheap parking can be found using the "Spot Hero" app.

a11yTO February social, reflecting on accessibility in 2025
We are kicking off **2026** with a relaxed, in person **a11yTO** social focused on connection, reflection, and conversation.
This is a casual evening with no formal presentation and no slides. The goal is simply to bring the community together, reconnect with familiar faces, meet new people, and share experiences from the past year.
As part of the evening, we will offer optional mini lightning prompts for anyone who would like to participate. These are short, three minute reflections focused on looking back at 2025.
You might share one accessibility win from last year that truly made a difference, or one thing that did not work and what it taught you. Listening is just as welcome as sharing, and there is no need to prepare anything in advance.
Whether you are new to accessibility or have been working in the space for years, everyone is welcome.
Register at: [https://tickets.a11yto.com/e/33/a11yto-february-social-reflecting-on-our-accessibility-journey-in-2025](https://tickets.a11yto.com/e/33/a11yto-february-social-reflecting-on-our-accessibility-journey-in-2025)

Stop Babysitting LLMs, Start Shipping.
PRs got bigger, not better. Seniors are burning hours on AI bug hunts while *throughput stays flat*. Encode your existing **SDLC** into a gated multi-agent flow so LLMs do the noisy work. Review changes that have already passed **CI**.
## **Swarm Architecture**
Encodes a full SDLC loop (**issue** → **spec → plan → PR** → **gate** → **deploy**) in a gated **45-agent swarm** you can explore after the talk.
## **Shift Left**
**Mutation-on-diff** and **contract/schema checks** wired into your agentic flow before review. Reduce **review pain** instead of just generating more code.
## **Failure Modes & Guardrails**
Hallucinations, reward hacking, process confabulation, and how your architecture catches and fixes them before they reach reviewers.
## **Takeaways**
* ✓You'll leave with a working **demo swarm repository** you can clone into your own repos, and a clearer way to decide when to lean on **tokens versus human review**.
* ✓For platform and DevEx engineers, tech leads and staff+ developers, and engineering leaders who are tired of wrestling with AI-generated code and **review pain**.
* ✓The talk and swarm will be released under **Apache 2.0**.
*Come at 5:30 pm have some pizza and chat for a bit. The presentation starts at 6:00 pm.*

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers
The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way?
This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents.
Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to:
Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture.
Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases.
Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI.
Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem.
Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
