Ditch The Small Talk
**Tired of surface-level conversations?**
Join us for *Ditch the Small Talk*โan evening of deep, real connection with strangers who are down to go there.
Weโll meet in the grass in front of the cathedral, break into small groups, and draw questions from a deck of cards designed to spark vulnerable, honest conversations.
How it works:
Draw a card and ask a question.
Listen. Don't coach or give advice without permission.
Try to ask follow-up questions when people share.
You can spend 1 minute on a question or 1 hour, just go with the flow.
**If you show up late, please don't interrupt the speaker. Just sit down in a group of your choice and they'll bring you up to speed when whoever is talking finishes.
Bring a blanket or chair if you don't want to sit in the grass.
*** Rules***
1. Don't debate politics
2. Keep what is shared in the group within the group
3. If you need to use your phone, step away from your group first

Architecting Governed Healthcare Data Platforms on AWS
Healthcare organizations are increasingly using cloud-based real-world evidence (RWE) platforms to power clinical research, population health analytics, and AI-driven insights. However, building these systems on AWS introduces complex governance challenges around privacy, compliance, and multi-institution collaboration.
This session explores how to architect data governance into healthcare analytics platforms on AWS, focusing on practical design patterns rather than policy theory. We examine how ethical data stewardship principles such as consent, accountability, and responsible data use, can be implemented using cloud-native controls and services.
The presentation walks through key architectural considerations for secure RWE platforms on AWS, including role-based access control, auditability, data minimization, and encryption, and how these capabilities support compliance requirements such as HIPAA and GDPR. Attendees will learn how federated, multi-account AWS architectures enable collaboration across institutions while preserving local data ownership and control.
We will also discuss privacy-preserving analytics patterns on AWS, including approaches that support federated learning, differential privacy, and secure computation to enable AI-driven insights without exposing raw patient data. Practical implementation trade-offs such as performance, scalability, and operational complexity will be highlighted using real-world platform scenarios.
Attendees will leave with actionable AWS architecture patterns and governance strategies for building secure, compliant, and scalable real-world evidence platforms that unlock innovation while maintaining patient trust.

DC Elite Matchmaking: Match Alert Jack & Jill Duo
Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for joining us for our **Valentineโs Mystery Social**! It was truly a pleasure to host such an intentional space for all of you to connect as "souls" rather than just titles and paychecks.
We heard your feedback loud and clear: you all wanted more time to connect after the opening icebreakers! We have noted this and look forward to hosting several more of these sessions for our private clients throughout the year with even more space for deep discussion.
### **๐ฅ TODAY ONLY: Elite Match Alert**
We have just added two profiles, a powerhouse Jack and Jill **brother and sister duo**โboth exceptional catches:
* **The Sports Agent (Male):** A high-achieving, family-oriented professional who embodies the values of our community and the legacy of his upbringing.
* **The Powerhouse Attorney (Female):** A stunning attorney and active actress who is a true "Jack and Jill" legacy. She balances a high-stakes legal career with a passion for the arts.
**Follow us on IG:** For our most up-to-date match alerts and event BTS, make sure you are following us on Instagram @helpmeetclub
**Saturday Appointment Available:** We have **ONE** consultation opening available for this Saturday. This is first-come, first-served for anyone ready!
**Consultation:** To celebrate these new additions, use code FRIENDS20 at checkout for an **[additional $55.55 off](https://thehelpmeetclub.com/join-our-database-of-singles-form/)**[ ](https://thehelpmeetclub.com/join-our-database-of-singles-form/)our current consult special. **This code is valid TODAY ONLY.**
### **Action Required: Selection Form**
Please submit your final selections by the **end of today**. As a reminder, we only facilitate a "Double-Yes" match (where both parties select each other) or reach out if you have specifically marked that you are open to hearing from others.
### **Membership Updates**
We are committed to the quality of our community. To that end, we have decided to make some adjustments to our membership structure:
* **Database Services:** We will no longer allow women to join our database as a standalone service.
* **The Reason:** It is undeniable that the women who complete our **Readiness Process** stand out and make exceptional partners. It is only fair that they are rewarded with exclusive access to our socials and curated community. On that note, if your database membership is currently expiring, please let us know and we will re-enroll you at 50% off your annual database membership fee.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, โagentic AIโ 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.
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.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide โwhat-ifโ analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
