**Hi everyone!** As your new group organizer, I wanted to hit the ground running by securing a massive perk for our community. I’ve partnered with the **TransformIT Europe Conference** to get our members an exclusive **50% discount** for their summit in Brussels this May. This is a high-level event featuring exclusive speakers from: * **United Nations** * **European Commission** * **Google** * **T-Systems** ... and many more. **🎙 The Headliners:** * **Dusan Chrenek (European Commission):** Principal Adviser for the Digital Green Transition—at the heart of how the EU balances AI growth with climate goals. * **Griet Cattaert (United Nations):** Discussing how technology moves beyond "compliance" to become a competitive advantage for sustainability. * **Industry Heavyweights:** Experts from **Google, T-Systems, and many more** on sovereign cloud infrastructure and industrial AI. * **Dr. Frauke Fischer:** Biodiversity expert asking: *"Can AI save Nature?"* **Why this matters for us:** We usually talk about models and code, but this event focuses on the **sovereignty and infrastructure** side—how Europe can actually scale AI sustainably. It’s a great chance for us to move from "how it works" to "how it transforms society." **Key Topics:** * **Digital Sovereignty:** Europe’s sovereign IT infrastructure. * **AI for ESG & GreenTech:** AI for sustainability and the circular economy. * **Smart Cities:** Real-world IoT and Smart Building case studies. **🎟 Discount & Registration – 50% Discount for members of this Meetup Group** The 1-day pass is usually €60 and the 2-day pass is €100. We have secured a limited number of unique codes that let our members get tickets for **less than half price.** **How to get your code:** Because these are **individual, one-time use codes**, I will be distributing them manually to ensure they go to our active members: 1. **RSVP** to this Meetup event. 2. **Message me directly** or wait for me to DM you. I will send you your unique, one-time discount code. 3. **Register at:** [https://transformit.eu/ticket](https://transformit.eu/ticket) with your code. **More information about the conference:** [https://transformit.eu/](https://transformit.eu/) *Note: RSVPing on Meetup does NOT secure your ticket. You must register at the link above using your unique code to attend.* I’ll be there in person and would love to coordinate a coffee meetup during the breaks to meet you all! **À tantôt / Tot straks!**

Willkommen bei der Cyber Security User Group "Purple Elbe" in Hamburg. Am **Mittwoch**, 06.05.2026 19:00 Uhr, treffen wir uns bei glueckkanja AG in Hamburg. Vortragssprache: **Deutsch** **Agenda** * Begrüßung * Security News * **Compliant Network and Tenant Restrictions: GSA-features already covered by your license** The Microsoft Traffic Forwarding Profile is included in Entra ID P1 – and therefore already licensed for most organizations running Microsoft 365 E3, E5, or Business Premium. This session shows what you can actually do with it beyond basic traffic routing. We will touch the logging and SWG coexistence benefits before we dive into token replay protection via the Compliant Network check and Universal Tenant Restrictions as a network-level DLP control for external tenant access. In this session, my focus will be—in addition to covering the basics—on practical tips for getting started, and of course, there will be demos as well. *\- Christopher Brumm* * Gemeinsamer Austausch (mit Pizza und Getränken für alle vor Ort) Wir freuen uns auf deine Teilnahme. Die Teilnahme ist hybrid möglich. **Anreise** Mit den Öffentlichen an der Sierichstraße (U3) aussteigen oder wenn Ihr mit dem Auto kommt gibt es im "Parkhaus Krohnskamp Hamburg" Parkplätze in der direkten Umgebung.

**First time comers** Please make sure to read the rules and contact the organizer before! Otherwise you will be moved to waiting list. Apologies for inconvenience but we have to do it to avoid no-shows. **Games format.** 95% are double games (unless someone needs a break), typically 4 people play together 2 sets and then mix with players from other fields. We play with plastic shuttles - Yonex Mavis 2000 (which are provided). **Registration** If it's your first time, please send a private message to the host to confirm. No-shows are taken quite seriously because they unbalance the games a lot. Also once you register please keep an eye on you private messages, in case we need to contact you. **Players level** Having players with much less experience often unbalances the game making it much less interesting for more experienced players. We still try to be welcoming. As a rule of thumb, if you know what a "clear" is, you are welcome to join. (Note that on Sundays the attitude is a bit more relaxed than on Wednesdays, it's the weekend after all ;) ) Otherwise, feel free to get in touch with me (Timur) and we can see if we can arrange so you and existing players can have good experience playing. **Price and payments** The price of participation is EUR 8.95. Payment is on-site in cash, or via payconiq. Info provided during or shortly after the event. **Cancelations and no-shows** * Switches and cancellations are free of charge if done more than 50 hours before the start of the matches * If you cancel within the 50-hour window before the event starts, you will be placed on the wait-list for the next week's event, whether or not a replacement is found. If no replacement is secured, you'll still need to cover your share of the costs.

We are living in an age of ever increasing intelligence and power. Individual humans haven’t really become any smarter or more powerful, but together we’ve developed systems that increase the control we exert over our environment. If we look at a country like China for example, the last 50 years have seen an undeniable and unprecedented increase in living standards, which correlates with [an increase in happiness and life satisfaction](https://ourworldindata.org/happiness-and-life-satisfaction). Another way to look at this is that we’re constantly finding ways to overcome the limitations imposed on us by life/existence/the universe. Hungry? Just go to the supermarket! Had a bad fall? Here is surgery and some painkillers! Cold? Open your tap and warm water flows out like magic! What if we follow this process to its conclusion? What does a world without struggle, problems or limitations look like? What would the absence of limitations do to our behavior, our values and our ethics? Would we still be human or does something get lost along the way? Is our current intelligence explosion missing a balancing wisdom explosion? We’ll be approaching these topics by thinking creatively about the following concrete questions among others: \- If we had a vaccine against lung cancer\, why shouldn’t we smoke? \- If we could suck all of the CO2 out of the air\, why shouldn’t we continue using fossil fuels? \- If antidepressants had no side effects\, why shouldn’t we all take them to deal with grief? \- If we could breed animals \(human or nonhuman\) without pain receptors\, why shouldn’t we eat them? \- If all human activity could be automated\, why shouldn’t we become “WALL\-E people”?

Meet and make new Friends after work.

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!

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

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.

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, we will meet at the 700N Conference Room at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentations will begin sharply at 6:30 p.m. Along with an excellent presentation, TEKsystems will provide food. Please RSVP so we know how much food to order. Afterward, we will go to Brick House Tavern for drinks and food to continue the conversation. The session will also be broadcast at https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode. ### **GitOps: Easy Deploy and Even Easier Rollback** GitOps isn't just for containers. The methodology of deploying from a build is now baked into our culture. Take it a touch farther with infrastructure as code and a few extra techniques, and you can reliably deploy to any platform: cloud, on-prem, container, PaaS, and more. Join us as we learn the methodology of GitOps, the critical pieces you need in place, and the elegance of rollbacks with GitOps. You'll leave with a working repo of deployment techniques that doesn't consume any paid tools or container-specific techniques.
