We all know that product work isn’t just about developing features. It’s about making product work sustainable - from keeping discovery alive over time to getting products launched without wasting too much energy on alignment, stakeholder management, and organisational friction. That’s often where product work starts to slip: discovery isn’t maintained, launches stall, and too much effort goes into managing the system instead of building the product. Join the **Product Academy** community at Westpark Zurich for an evening of raw insights, real-world failures, and proven frameworks from two industry experts. **Who is this for?** * The Strategist: PMs who want to use Opportunity Solution Trees (OST) to build the right thing faster. * The Change-Maker: PMs in large corporates are tired of "stalled" launches and stakeholder misalignment. * The Lifelong Learner: Anyone looking to network with the Zurich product community. **Limited spots available**. **The Lineup:** **Vivienne Clement (Product Owner @ Swiss Post)** * Talk: What happens when the Product is ready, but the Organisation isn't? * The Vibe: A deep dive into the "political" side of PMing. Learn how to manage stakeholder buy-in and overcome hidden resistance when **launching AI and B2B products** in large corporations. **John Huertas (Product Manager @ Swiss Re)** * Talk: Making Continuous Discovery & Opportunity Solution Trees Sustainable. * The Vibe: Move beyond theory. John shares lessons from a multi-year journey of experimentation to show how teams can bring more discipline to discovery, improve prioritisation, and make product decisions with greater confidence. **The details:** * 📅 When: May 7, 2026 * ⏰ Time: 18:30 CET * 📍 Where: Westpark Zurich Grab your seat and let’s level up your product game together!

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!

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.
