Collective Intelligence

**🎉 Quick Rounds Real Connection for Columbus Locals Live** On the night, you'll spend your time in short virtual speed dates with Columbus locals in your age group matched for you, as a skilled host keeps the pace natural. Before you join, a short matching quiz is included in the process — the information you provide there to connect you with Columbus singles who fit your profile, so each round starts with genuine compatibility in mind. Once the event finishes, mutual matches are shared privately — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and there is no pressure on timing. **Your age group, your link:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Columbus&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=18-32&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Columbus&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=30-46&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Columbus&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=40-58&face_v=3.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=476.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Columbus&groupurlname=collective-of-singles-planning-dinner-parties&ar=55+&face_v=3.0) **⚠️ Note:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so click your age group link, complete the form, and take the short personality questionnaire — places are capped so do this promptly, and the registration is what actually counts, not the RSVP. --- **Great for:** - Daters across Columbus looking beyond profiles instead of real people and want to meet real locals without the faff. - Anyone around Columbus bored of matches that ghost after two messages and want real chemistry over profile photos. - First-timers from the Columbus area who have had enough of unread messages and dead-end conversations and want actual face-to-face conversation. **The breakdown** 1. **Find your age group** – by tapping the link for your age group, then complete the personality assessment, since your spot is held only once this is done. 2. **Join the session** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, works on any device without requiring a download, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely. 3. **Chat one-on-one** – curated one-on-one rounds with Columbus singles sorted to your age and personality, with everything paced by a host so nothing drags, and each person in your rounds was chosen for compatibility. 4. **Get your mutual matches** – after the event you will receive any mutual match details, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and everything from that point is on your schedule. **Event Details** - **Format:** Professionally hosted via a live video call running short timed video rounds throughout, quiz-and-age matched for every single round. - **Where:** Fully remote — on any Wi-Fi-connected device, the only requirement is a device with a camera and internet, and whichever room suits you best is ideal. - **Host:** An attentive host takes care of all the logistics from beginning to end, leaving you free to just connect — there is nothing on your end to organise or manage. - **Vibe:** Warm personal date rounds with Columbus people who actually turned up, and the format itself removes most of the pressure. - **Duration:** Most sessions run for an hour give or take all told, and the quick rounds make it feel fast. 💡 **Pre-event tip:** get your lighting sorted ahead of time, and it only takes a couple of minutes to sort, as it is worth doing before you need it not during. --- ✨ One Zoom call, real conversations, real matches — lock in your spot above and we will take care of the matching and we will get you all set up. The host will see you shortly. 💎 ✨

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.

Join the Columbus AI community for our quarterly gathering — a casual, community-focused evening where everyone has a chance to share, learn, and connect. These open mic–style events give anyone in the community up to **5 minutes** to present a project, share a tool, pose a question, or offer a perspective on the evolving AI space. No slides required — just a welcoming space to exchange ideas and keep the local AI conversation moving. If you’d like to take the stage, message \*\*Chris (the organizer)\*\*with a **title and short description** of what you’d like to share. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

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.

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow electronics makers for a night of creativity and collaboration! This session is open forum to share your current projects—whether complete or in progress, it’s all interesting! Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

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!
