South Dublin Beginners Zoom Speed Dating Special
South Dublin Beginners Zoom Speed Dating Special
**🫶 Live Date Rounds on Zoom for South Dublin Locals** On the night, you'll go through focused short video rounds with South Dublin locals paired by quiz results and age range, as a welcoming host takes care of everything. Right after registering, you answer a few quick personality questions — that data drives the matching to give you a personally matched South Dublin lineup, so each round starts with genuine compatibility in mind. Once the rounds end, match results are sent privately — with no one-sided reach-outs ever happening — and you take over from there entirely. **Register by age group:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=470.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=South%20Dublin&groupurlname=club-of-intentional-singles-seeking-depth&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Spot not held yet:** Meetup rsvp alone does not register you for the event, so click your age group link, complete the form, and take the short personality questionnaire — the cap is reached quickly so register without delay, and only a completed registration locks in your seat. --- **Best suited to:** - Someone within South Dublin who have had enough of unread messages and dead-end conversations and value real conversation over curated profiles. - Women and men from around South Dublin bored of matches that fade out before meeting and want actual face-to-face conversation. - Anyone at all throughout South Dublin getting away from profiles that never convert to actual dates and are looking for real connection. **What to expect** 1. **Pick your age group** – using the link that matches your age bracket, then complete the personality assessment, since this combination is what actually registers you. 2. **Connect on Zoom** – by clicking into the session at the scheduled start, laptop phone or tablet — your choice, all work fine, and a live host guides every step from there. 3. **Meet your matches** – quick back-to-back rounds with South Dublin locals in your age bracket, with round management all on the host, given that the matching was done before the evening started. 4. **Get your mutual matches** – mutual matches are shared post-event with your info staying private otherwise, with the system keeping all non-mutual selections entirely private, and everything from that point is on your schedule. ⭐ *"The host made everything comfortable — real conversations with real people"* – a South Dublin attendee 💡 **Top tip:** log into Zoom five minutes early, and it sets you up for a better evening overall, as the host manages the rest and all you need is working tech. --- ✨ Done with digital connections that lead nowhere — pick your age group and sign up and you are completely set tonight. Your next chapter might start tonight. ❤️‍🔥 ✨

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
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!

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City. He has worked there for 17 years, serving previously in the roles of Data Analyst, Programmer, and Operations Coordinator. Prior to working at South Western, he worked as a Systems Engineer at Pinnacle Data Systems in Groveport. He graduated in 2005 from The University of Toledo with his Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering, and a minor in Mathematics. Robert resides in Obetz with his wife, and their 15 and 12 year-old daughters. He was also just elected to his 3rd four-year term on the Obetz City Council.

LLM Showdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Local Models
LLM Showdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Local Models
Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
