CISSP Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
We Built an AI Platform Using AI — Here's What We Learned
A small team of AWS Solutions Architects not traditional software engineers, built AIRE Traffic Control (ATC), a production agentic AI platform now serving thousands of builders. We used AI at every stage: spec-driven development, AI-generated code, automated testing, and agentic workflows. In this talk, we'll share the real story, the architecture, the failures, the breakthroughs, and what we learned about driving adoption from 32% to 92% in 10 weeks.
You'll walk away with practical patterns for building multi-agent systems, using AI-DLC methodology, and empowering non-traditional dev teams to ship production-grade applications.
Hidden Gem: Franciscan Monastery & Gardens
Even though this is posted as a meetup event, this is a self-guided experience, we wont be walking as a group.
Let's visit the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America, one of Washington's most beautiful and underrated landmarks.
We'll explore the monastery's stunning architecture, peaceful gardens, catacombs, grottos, and replicas of famous Holy Land sites. Often described as a hidden oasis in the city, this unique destination offers a fascinating blend of history, art, culture, and tranquility.
Whether you're interested in architecture, photography, spirituality, history, or simply discovering new places and meeting great people, you're welcome to join us.
**Cost:** Free
**Who can attend:** Everyone is welcome, regardless of faith background. Please dress respectfully, as this is an active religious site.
### What makes it unique?
* **A "Holy Land in America"** – It was created so Americans could experience replicas of important Christian sites in Jerusalem and the Holy Land without traveling overseas.
* **Underground catacombs** – Few places in DC have catacombs. Walking through them feels like stepping into another era.
* **Hidden gardens and grottos** – The 40+ acre grounds are filled with rose gardens, quiet pathways, fountains, and secluded prayer spaces. Many visitors are surprised such a peaceful retreat exists in the middle of the city.
* **Architectural variety** – The monastery combines elements inspired by churches and shrines from the Middle East, Europe, and early Christianity.
* **A living monastery** – Franciscan friars still live and worship there, so it is not just a museum or historic site.
### Why is it historically important?
* The Franciscans have been custodians of many Christian holy sites in the Holy Land for nearly 800 years.
* The monastery was founded in the late 1800s as the American headquarters supporting those missions.
* It helped make pilgrimage experiences accessible to people who could not afford the long journey to Jerusalem.
### Why do non-religious visitors enjoy it?
Even if you're not religious, the monastery offers:
* Beautiful architecture and art
* Excellent photography opportunities
* A fascinating glimpse into history and world cultures
* One of the quietest and most serene places in DC
* A chance to explore hidden tunnels, chapels, and gardens that most tourists never see
Many people visit expecting a church and leave feeling like they've discovered a secret European monastery tucked away in Washington. That's why it is often described as one of DC's most underrated attractions.

GeoDC : June 2026 Meetup
**The next GeoDC will be held on Wednesday, June 10 from 6-9pm at Sudhouse DC (1340 U St NW, Washington, DC 20009) with the program starting at 7pm.**
* Join us early from 6-7pm to grow your network, socialize and grab drinks and appetizers.
* Throughout the evening, we'll be sharing job announcements and details of other GIS/Geo upcoming events we're tracking.
* We look forward to seeing you on the 10th!
**Our Program will feature these presentations:**
**The Secret History of the Blue Dot - William H. Tewelow, GISP (GPS World)**
This presentation takes the audience from an iconic movie scene they recognize but never understood, through the hidden origins of GPS, and returns them to the blue dot in their own hand, seeing it for the very first time. There is a blue dot on your phone right now. It knows where you are to within a few feet. You have never questioned it. You have never wondered where it came from.
You should.
Its origins are classified. Its lineage runs through the Cold War, nuclear submarines, and a doctrine built on the promise of mutual annihilation. The technology that tells you where to turn was designed for something else entirely.
The technology did not change. Only the purpose did.
**GEOINT Symposium's Golden Ticket Program - Katie Weintraub (ESRI)**
This is a firsthand account of USGIF's GEOINT Symposium Golden Ticket — a program built for early-career professionals who want to level up their careers.
Participants get free admission to GEOINT Symposium, mentorship opportunities, a network of fellow Golden Ticket alumni, and a cohort of peers to grow alongside.
This talk breaks it all down fast — what it is and why it's a stellar experience for young professionals breaking into or already working in the geospatial intelligence realm.
