Stopping Collations Going Wrong
On 23 June we will be gathering at the Star of Kings for some Postgres and a pint. This time we'll have a talk by **Andreas Karlsson** from Percona on **Stopping Collations Going Wrong**, followed by a brief recap from **Alastair Turner** (Percona) and **Valeria Kaplan** (Data Egret) on **this year's PGConf.DEV**, where the PostgreSQL community celebrated its 30th birthday.
This event is generously sponsored by [Nexteam](https://nexteam.co.uk/), a London-based consultancy specialising in PostgreSQL-based solutions, database support, and bespoke software development.
We are a very informal bunch, so hoping to see you and your colleagues there!

20:30 It's a pub, so we'll stay and hang out a bit longer — but feel free to leave whenever you prefer!
About The Talk
**Stopping Collations Going Wrong**
Outside of causing trouble for you when upgrading libc what are collations good for? PostgreSQL's collations have gotten a lot of bad press from the upgrade issues but they are also a powerful and important tool, especially for working with text in other languages than English.
This talk will give an introduction to collations in PostgreSQL, including how to use them, what they are useful for, how they work plus some common pitfalls and misunderstandings. You will learn, among other things, about the three collation providers (libc, icu, builtin), BCP 47, case insensitive collations, CTYPEs, what new features have been introduced in recent PostgreSQL versions and get a brief look into the future of collations in PostgreSQL.
About The Speaker
**Andreas Karlsson** is application developer and long time minor contributor to PostgreSQL who recently has started working with PostgreSQL full time. Right now working for Percona with PostgreSQL itself and extensions, including pg_tde.

Vibe Coding: Level Up
Vibe Coding Collective is a global community helping anyone turn ideas into working software with AI. We host relaxed social coding jams in bars, cafés, and maker spaces. Whether you're a developer or have never written a line of code, you'll fit right in!
On June 23, we're teaming up with [Momen](https://momen.app/?utm_source=luma) for a special edition about building full-stack with vibes. It is the visual backend, that seamlessly turns front-end "vibes" from tools like Cursor or Lovable into scalable databases, AI workflows, and secure, production-ready architectures.
## Format 🛠️
We team up in small groups of 3-4.
You'll start by designing and laying out your app by hand, dragging and dropping the screens, deciding how it should look and feel. Then you go from there to vibe-coded backends, including databases, workflows, AI agents, and logins.
By the end you've gone from a blank canvas to a real, working app with a brain behind it.
The goal is to vibe, and learn from each other.
## New to vibe coding? ✨
No worries. We provide simple starter ideas and example prompts so even total beginners can dive straight in without stress.
## Schedule 🕒
19:00 — Welcome
19:05 — Intro from the Momen team
19:15 — Live workshop: Building a challenge app with Momen
19:45 — Challenge briefing & team formation
20:00 — Build time
21:00 — Optional demos (show what you made!)
21:30 — Hang out, network, make friends
## Who is it for?
Anyone! Curious coders, tinkerers, designers, founders, AI-curious folks, and developers. If you've ever wanted to take an idea all the way to a real, full-stack app without writing code, you belong here.
## What to bring
- Laptop 💻
\- Vibes ⚡
## Location 📍
Brewhouse and Kitchen Highbury
2A Corsica St, N5 1JJ, London
## About Vibe Coding Collective
We're an international community of 3,500+ members across 9 countries, running relaxed social coding jams where everyone leaves with something they built.
🌟 No pressure, no gatekeeping. Just good people, fun ideas, and some fast-paced collaborative building.
Spots are limited and our events fill up fast, so RSVP early!

Discuss & Social 🍷 Mental health: taboo or hype?
Half the world uses TikTok to self-diagnose, while older generations still treat mental health as a taboo. Psychology buzzwords from "social anxiety" to "gaslighting" to "love languages" are everywhere on the internet. But is everyone genuinely struggling, or are we just following the latest online trends? Let's find the middle ground between real healing and social media hype. We'll discuss:
1. **The Over-Diagnosis Epidemic:** Is your ex a real narcissist, or did they just forget to text you back?
2. **Social Anxiety vs. Shyness:** Has internet culture turned the most simple social scenarios into a therapy problem?
3. **The Generational Divide:** How do we talk to older generations about mental health without being dismissed?
*Join a room of international minds, creative professionals, and cosmopolitans for our weekly late-night conversation lounge. We skip the small talk to dive directly into the gray areas of relationships, modern culture, and society.*
*Come for the perspective. Stay for the connections.*
**🍸 THE VIBE**
* **Curated Conversations:** Sharp, spicy, and unfiltered topics. We tackle everything from cultural identity to institutional trust - we focus on personal philosophies and lived experiences rather than rigid point-scoring.
* **Cinematic Backdrop:** Hosted in the moody lounge of Curzon Aldgate, perfect for late-night cocktails and deep chat.
* **Fluid Mingling:** An organic mix of curated group discussions, then unstructured socializing over drinks.
* **A Global Collective:** Connect with international graduates, London's creatives, open-minded travelers, etc.
**🕒 THE RUN SHEET**
* **19:30 – 20:00 \| The Warm Up:** Arrive, grab a cocktail, and settle into the lounge space.
* **20:00 – 21:30 \| The Hot Takes:** We move into our hosted conversation circles. We rotate groups so you meet everyone.
* **21:30 – Late \| The After\-chat:** The lounge bar stays open for late-night mingling and drinks.
**📜 HOUSE RULES**
1. **Challenge Ideas, Not People:** We love strong opinions, lightly held. No personal attacks.
2. **No Soapboxing:** This is an exchange of perspectives, not a lecture. Leave your monologues at home.
3. **Be Present:** Put the phones away during the conversation circles.
4. **Open Minds Only:** Bring your cultural background, leave your judgment at the door.
**📍 THE DETAILS**
* **Where:** The Lounge Bar at Curzon Aldgate, 2 Canter Way, E1 8PS.
* **Entry:** Free entry. Kindly support the venue by ordering a drink or snack at the bar.
* **Dress Code:** Smart/City Casual
* **Transport:** Aldgate East, Aldgate, Tower Hill/Gateway stations are all within a 5-minute walk.

#WPLDN - June 2026: Our 150th Event! Owning Your Why & WordPress 7.0 Abilities
Join us for our 150th #WPLDN event! It's a milestone we're quietly proud of: 150 free, community-driven WordPress-focused events, and we'd love to share this one with you. This month, we're looking at WordPress from two very different but complementary angles. First, Raquel Manriquez asks the question most of us avoid: Who are you really, and why does owning that answer make you a steadier, sharper business owner? Then Paul Halfpenny digs into what WordPress 7.0 and its new Abilities API mean for how we build, and why this quiet change might matter more than the headlines suggest.
📅 **Date:** Thursday, 25 June 2026
⏰ **Time:** 6:00 PM BST
🎟️ **Cost:** Free (Registration Required)
\-\-\-
**Session 1: Owning Your Why: The Only Constant in a World of Change**
🤝 **Speaker:** Raquel Manriquez ([PressConf](https://pressconf.events))
The only constant in your business isn't the strategy, the stack, or the team; it's the why underneath them. In this candid session, Raquel moves from the question most of us avoid (who am I, actually?) to the business case for answering it: the boundaries that hold because you know what you're protecting, the decisions that come quickly because you're not weighing other people's opinions of you, and the steadiness of being someone, not just doing things.
Raquel is the founder of WonderlandCurious, a tech event consultancy focused on people-first experiences, and previously founded and led the WooCommerce agency Mode Effect for a decade before exiting in 2020. Today, she channels that community experience into PressConf, a conference built around candid, unrecorded conversations among the leaders shaping the WordPress economy.
\-\-\-
**Session 2: Abilities, not chatbots: how WordPress 7.0 changes everything**
🤝 **Speaker:** Paul Halfpenny ([Filter](https://filter.agency))
WordPress 7.0 shipped on 20 May with the Abilities API in core. Quieter than the real-time collaboration headlines that got pulled, but more consequential. Abilities turn plugin capabilities into something AI assistants and automation tools can discover and invoke, with permissions intact. Paul walks through what changed, what it means for how we build plugins, and what's already running in production across Filter AI, Filter Abilities, and PersonalizeWP, plus a quick aside into whether AI assistants can find your site at all, and how to find out.
Paul is the CTO and co-founder of Filter, a UK digital agency. He builds products including PersonalizeWP and Filter AI, leads technology transformation for a major UK brand, and speaks on practical AI, personalisation, tech strategy, and running an agency.

**Schedule:**
🔹 **6:00 PM** – Doors Open & Networking
🔹 **6:30 PM** – Welcome & Session 1: Raquel Manriquez
🔹 **7:30 PM** – Short Break & Networking
🔹 **7:45 PM** – Session 2: Paul Halfpenny
🔹 **8:30 PM** – Social & Wrap-Up
\-\-\-
**📢 RSVP Now!**
Don't miss this one. Whether you come for the honest conversation about why you do what you do, or for a clear-eyed look at where WordPress and AI are heading, there's plenty here to take away. Bring your questions for the Q&A, and stick around for the post-event social to raise a glass to 150 events. Secure your free spot today, and we'll see you there!

**Venue Information**
**The Bridge** is a charity supporting women to make positive choices and encouraging improvements to fitness, health, and wellbeing. The venue features a plant-based café (supplied by Girls Who Grind Coffee) and is just a 5-minute walk from London Bridge Station.

️🕰️ **SCHEDULE**
**6.15pm:** drinks + mingle

**6.45pm:** presentations
1️⃣ **The unsexy AI: vibe coding internal tools that actually pay off** presented by **[Ben Hammond](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bybenhammond/)**
There’s a lot of noise about what AI can do, and not much about whether it’s worth doing. Ben built an internal pricing tool with AI to speed up how the studio quotes projects, then wired its database into a calculator that lets potential clients get a ballpark cost in seconds. He talks through what he built, why that problem was worth solving over the flashier ones, and how to spot the unglamorous tools that quietly pay for themselves.
2️⃣ **Building a Product Business While Running a Solo Studio** presented by **[Chris Elson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechriselson/)**
From designer to developer to running a white-label development studio for enterprise agencies, Chris launched epicmaps, a nocode CMS maps plugin for Webflow, in the space between projects and has since grown it into a business of it’s own. Chris talks about the journey, choices, and systems that help him manage and grow both as a solo founder.

**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
