May 2026 Toronto IAM Meetup
Hi Everyone,
Join us for May's Toronto IAM Community Meetup.
Pls ensure you register at this form: (form will be removed at reg deadline)
Only attendees registered via the google form: (form removed as registration is now closed) will be admitted into the venue. Registration deadline is May 6, 2026 at 5pm Est.
AGENDA
**5:30pm -** Doors open
**5:45pm -** Welcome by Toronto IAM
**6:00pm -** Talk #1: Inside the 47 Day Certificate Mandate: What Security Leaders Need to Know.
**6:40pm -** Break
**6:50 pm -** Panel on: "IAM Leaders Panel "Identity in the age of AI", with Julien Boninfante, Strategy Advisor at Questrade, Jerry Liang, Sr Manager, IS and IAM, Zebra Technologies and AVP of CIAM at a Canadian Bank
**Abstract:** As AI systems become agentic—able to decide, delegate, and act independently—identity is no longer just about access but about accountability, authority, and trust at machine speed. This panel brings together identity leaders to challenge today’s assumptions, debate what’s hype versus real architectural shift, and explore where existing identity guidance breaks when agents start acting on our behalf. Through sharp, opinion-led questions on delegation, standards, continuous decisioning, and auditability, panelists will surface the principles and industry changes that will matter most in the next 12–24 months.
**7:30pm -** Network
**8pm -** Event and attendees exit venue
Have a great day,

🌸🌆 FLEURS DE VILLES: FLORA – BLOOR-YORKVILLE FLOWER WALK AND DINNER 🌆🌸
🌸🌆 **FLEURS DE VILLES: FLORA – BLOOR-YORKVILLE FLOWER WALK** 🌆🌸
A Floral Trail, City Streets & A Peak Bloom Experience
For a few days each year, Bloor-Yorkville transforms into something completely different — a curated, walkable floral experience right in the heart of the city.
Join us for Fleurs de Villes: FLORA, a one-of-a-kind event where local florists, designers, and businesses come together to “flower-bomb” the neighbourhood with stunning installations.
And here’s the bonus — we’re going earlier in the week, right during peak viewing time.
That means fresher displays, fewer crowds, and the best chance to experience everything at its fullest.
Expect to see over 30 creative floral displays popping up in unexpected places — from fashion-inspired mannequins to floral archways, window installations, and even edible creations along the way.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social walk — come explore, wander, and take it all in together.

We’ll meet at the Toronto Reference Library and begin our walk through the Bloor-Yorkville area, following the floral trail and discovering installations as we go.
There’s no rush — we’ll take our time, stop for photos, and enjoy the creativity of each display.
After the walk, we’ll head over to Jack Astor's for food, drinks, and a chance to hang out and connect. 🍔🍹
You’re welcome to join for food or head out whenever you like.
\*\*\*
🌆 **Vibe & Expectations**
This is an easy, relaxed city walk — no distance pressure, no intensity.
Just:

Mob Programming at Mofer Coffee
Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together.
Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions.
If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming!
Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event!
Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event!
**Discord**:
We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event!
https://discord.gg/xwjDdVSw3E
**Event policy**:
* We have 0 tolerance for harassment.
* We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets.
* The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do.
* Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
#93: AI 双面圆桌派 01 ~ AI 时代如何读书
你有没有试过,让 AI 替你读一本书?
十秒钟,梗概有了。
一分钟,重点也有了。
再问几句,它还会解释、比较、反驳。
很方便。也有一点可疑。
一本书,只看 AI 总结,算读过吗?
工具书也许可以。
小说呢?传记呢?
那些在某一页突然停住的时刻呢?
AI 能说出《悉达多》讲了什么。
哪一句会在你心里留下来,只有你知道。
**第一期「AI双面圆桌派」,我们聊:**
**当 AI 可以总结、解释、陪读、反驳一本书时,人还为什么读书?**
我们该读得更多,还是读得更慢?
我们和三位嘉宾一起,聊几个问题:
* AI 眼里的重点,是我的重点吗?
* 读得快,会不会只是更快地产生“我懂了”的错觉?
* 哪些书可以交给 AI 先读?
* 哪些书,还是要自己慢慢读?
* 故事、共鸣、经验,算不算知识?
两个小环节:
* AI 帮我省下一小时。
* 我用 AI 搞砸的一件事。
带着问题来就好。
不用先有答案。

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.

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.
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for May is "Ink"
Speak Easy: true stories, told live.
The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast.
Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect.
The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Columbus Code & Coffee 86 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
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.
