\*\* Please RSVP - this helps the venue plan ahead and ensure enough space is reserved for us \*\* Hey everyone! Are you a young professional in your 20s/30s looking to meet other LGBTQ+ young professionals? Then we hope to see you at the upcoming Tuesday drinks! Most people come to these drinks by themselves, and half of the people are first-timers, so these evenings are great to meet new people in London. We have tables reserved on the top floor (loft) of The Yard bar in Soho. Go into the Yard, turn left, and head upstairs. Just ask the bar for the tables reserved for the "Meetup". We usually have the tables opposite to the bar. Many have noticed that it can be difficult to meet up with the LGBTQ+ community once you leave university or come to a big new city such as London. For this reason we've decided to start organising drinks for young professionals, intended for those who love to have a drink with like-minded people after a busy day of work. Do spread the word, and bring friends, colleagues and family! Frequently Asked Questions: It's my first time and I'm coming alone, should I be nervous? No, you found the right event! Almost everyone joins these drinks alone and there are always a bunch of first timers. Just grab a drink and say hi to those around the reserved tables and you'll be absolutely fine :) I cannot make it at 7.00pm, can I come later? Yes, definitely! There will always be one of the organisers present from 7.00pm onwards, but most people just join whenever they can. There is no official 'start' so to say, and it usually stays busy till around 10pm-11pm. For first timers it can be easier to mingle if you come before 8pm, when it's not that busy yet. How often are the drinks and where are they held? We have drinks every two weeks from 7.00pm at The Yard Bar in Soho. Sometimes we organise other events such as big nights out, pub crawls and picnics. Just keep an eye on the Meetup page. Is there a dress code? Nope, not at all. Just wear whatever you want. Is there a cost? Only for whatever drinks you buy at the bar. That said, if you enjoy the Meetup, we would really welcome any cash donations to help cover our costs for running the events. However, you will never be directly asked for any money from any of our team. Are the Tuesday drinks for networking? No, the drinks are super casual, and not intended to find your new dream job. We have people from all different professional backgrounds, so it's always cool to hear what others are up to. I don't drink alcohol, can I come? Of course! Since it's on a Tuesday many take it easy, so you won't be an outlier. If you have any questions don't hesitate to pop any of our organisers a message. Looking forward to meeting you all! Xx The young LGBTQ+ professionals team Xx

There are many resources available for guidance on how to write code that is efficient and results in more sustainable software applications, but applying these at scale can be challenging, and often isn’t a priority for busy teams. GitHub have recently released Agentic Workflows, a way of specifying automation tasks in human-readable format to be performed by an AI agent as part of a GitHub Actions workflow. In this talk, Max Mizzi from GitHub's Sustainability team gives an overview of Agentic Workflows, and will demonstrate how they can be used to improve software efficiency through both structured green software rules and autonomous performance engineering. He'll finish by walking through a real-world use-case showing how the technology helped to dramatically reduce the energy consumption - and carbon footprint - of a major website. Come along if you want to learn more about using AI to improve the energy efficiency of your software. Check out the Green Software Brighton [website](https://greensoftwarebrighton.co.uk/) for links to previous talks. Arrive from 18:00 for pizza and drinks. Event will start at 18:30. We always head for a drink and a chat locally afterwards too. --- ***Thank you to Runway East for use of their space to host our events and to Silicon Brighton and the Green Software Foundation for supporting us.***

**Join a select group of senior technology leaders for a private lunch at Selfridges to explore how to architect AI systems that perform under pressure - without introducing unnecessary complexity or unpredictable costs.** **Please note:** We can only accept registrations via our official page. **A registration on Meetup alone will not be accepted as a confirmed entry.** 👉 **Register here to secure you space:** [https://events.couchbase.com/register/d317f9f4-1a09-4eea-9e60-c58138160052/](https://events.couchbase.com/register/d317f9f4-1a09-4eea-9e60-c58138160052/) In modern enterprise applications, performance is the backbone of user trust, and AI is quickly becoming mission-critical to delivering it. From managing high-concurrency workloads to real-time personalization at scale, platforms are under increasing pressure to deliver intelligent experiences instantly, reliably, and cost-effectively. However, for many organizations, the true challenge isn't experimenting with AI—it’s making it work at scale. *** ​This executive lunch focuses on the architectural hurdles of moving from AI prototypes to production-ready systems. Our presentation and the following conversations will focus on: * **Performance Under Pressure:** Maintaining sub-millisecond responsiveness during massive traffic spikes and critical processing windows. * **Cost Predictability:** Scaling Generative AI without infrastructure costs spiraling out of control. * **Operational Simplicity:** Reducing data stack complexity to accelerate time-to-market and innovation. * **AI-Native Infrastructure:** How Couchbase’s unified platform addresses context variability and fragmented architectures. ​**What to Expect** * ​**Executive Networking:** An intimate environment for senior technology, data, AI, and digital leaders. * ​**Strategic Insights:** Real-world examples of architecting for the future of retail. * ​**Premium Experience:** Private dining at one of London's most iconic locations

Who else is ready to sit outside? Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!
