## \*Please note - to be admitted to this event you must register for approval here: [https://luma.com/lcsqwmf3](https://luma.com/lcsqwmf3) This weekend hackathon brings together LangChain and SurrealDB to explore how agents can move beyond demos by grounding themselves in structured, persistent context. As agentic systems become more autonomous, their biggest failure mode isn’t model capability - it’s context. Agents struggle with accuracy, consistency, and reasoning when memory is shallow or unstructured. Knowledge graphs provide a powerful way to represent relationships, state, and history, enabling agents to reason over how things connect, not just what text is retrieved. Over the weekend, you’ll build practical agent projects using the LangChain ecosystem, with a strong emphasis on knowledge graphs and real-world retrieval workflows, using SurrealDB as a unified data layer for graph, document, vector, and temporal data. You’ll also have plenty of time to connect with both the LangChain and SurrealDB communities in London, collaborate with other builders, and get hands-on support from mentors. *** ## Schedule **Friday** * 18:00 - Doors open, check-in, pizza & drinks * Hackathon kickoff, team formation & briefing (time TBC) **Saturday** * All day - Build, iterate, mentor support (details TBC) **Sunday** * Final build, demos & judging (details TBC) * 15:30 - Closing, winners & wrap-up Full challenge details and rules will be shared ahead of the event. *** ## What you’ll work on * Agent workflows built with LangChain * Knowledge graph–driven context and memory * Hybrid retrieval patterns (vector + graph) * Persistent agent state and evolving context * Practical, production-oriented agent use cases *** ## Prizes * Swag and LangSmith credits from LangChain * Swag from SurrealDB *** ## Why attend? This is a hands-on opportunity to build credible agent projects in a single weekend, learn production-oriented patterns, and explore how structured context improves agent accuracy and reliability. You’ll collaborate with experienced builders, get direct support from the LangChain and SurrealDB teams, and connect with the wider London agent and AI engineering community. **FAQs** **Is the venue accessible?** Absolutely!

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Traditional buyers transact once every 7–10 years. Investors transact 3–10 times a year.** If you want predictable income, consistent deal flow, and a long-term wealth ecosystem, you don’t need more leads—you need a better list: a database of committed investors who buy repeatedly. The Investor Goldmine teaches you how to build, grow, and activate an investor database that becomes your most valuable asset in real estate. Instead of competing for one-time transactions, you position yourself as the Agent Investor—someone who understands strategy, leverage, and wealth building. In this session, you’ll learn the proven systems to build your investor list from scratch, including: * Where to network to meet real investors already buying * A simple “one lunch a week” strategy to build relationships fast * How to use giving and social currency to become the trusted connector * How absentee owners and business owners can become your best investor pipeline * Why community accelerates database growth—even if you don’t run one You’ll also get a clear activation plan to start growing and converting your investor database immediately. Because the model is simple: Build the list. Call the list. Market to the list. And your income becomes repeatable. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Did you miss it?** [Watch all GRID Reston event playback on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTh5kxLLJI1G3VH6Pqhlhu0uTA8yrdpi) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Join the GRID Facebook Community** [Join the online GRID community here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gridinvestor) to post deals, ask questions, and connect with other investors across the globe.

Join us for an afternoon of delicious food, great conversation, and a little friendly competition as we kick off the new year! We’ll begin with a late lunch/early dinner at the luxurious Café Riggs, then head to the mesmerizing Puttery in downtown DC for putt-putt fun—where you can sip a drink, tally the score, and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. Note: Please RSVP if possible by March 14. We’d much rather have a late response than miss you—but this just helps us secure a group tee time!

We will be meeting at Starbucks to learn together. Come with an online class you're already going through or an interest and we will try to connect you with a course where you can learn it. Already have a skill you want to contribute to a Kaggle Datascience competition? We will work on these too! Laptop required :)

**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 **Abstract** TBD **YouTube Link** TBA

**Agenda:** * 6-6:30 pm: Networking and food/drinks * 6:30-7:15 pm: Announcements and presentation * 7:15 pm-7:30 pm: Q&A and close-out **Hacking the Stack: Using OpenSearch Dashboards as an Application Framework** Most developers treat OpenSearch Dashboards (OSD) strictly as a visualization layer—a place for charts and graphs. They are missing the bigger picture. OSD is a powerful, untapped environment for full-stack application development. In this session, we peel back the architecture of **an enterprise-grade risk, compliance, and security platform built entirely *on top of* OSD**. We moved beyond simple plugins and pushed OSD to its limits to create a seamless, interactive application experience. Join us for a deep dive into the engineering reality of the OpenSearch stack, including: * **The Analysis:** Why the OpenSearch stack beat out the competition. * **The Build,** **Beyond Visualization:** How to implement custom React components to build complex workflows and interactive UIs within OSD. * **The Integrations:** Integrating Wazuh for agent management and ingesting data at scale. * **The “Gotchas”:** Honest, real-world lessons on data handling, state management, and what to look out for. **If you are ready to push your plugins from “reporting tools” to “robust software,” do not miss this session!**
