STACK Meetup [AI]: Delivering AI as a Capability
**ANNOUNCEMENT – Registration via this [link](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-2jul2026-mc) only.**
Moving AI from prototype to a reliable production often raises questions about optimisation, scalability and compliance. At this STACK Meetup [AI], we strip away the hype to offer an exclusive look under the hood of PlatformAI, GovTech’s developer-first platform built to scale AI capabilities reliably for the Government.
Take a peek into how PlatformAI provides an enterprise-ready platform layer to govern and orchestrate large-scale AI model and capability deployments. Our speakers will share strategies on unifying secure model access, balancing costs using Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) versus Provisioned Throughput, and leveraging managed multimodal pipelines – Vision, Document, and Audio – without the overhead of maintaining fragmented infrastructure.
Walk away with fresh insights on how GovTech is democratising AI deployment at scale, whilst ensuring proper governance like prompt security, throughput optimisation, and architectural guardrails to address modern scaling bottlenecks.
**Secure your spot for STACK Meetup [AI] today: [https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-2jul2026-mc](https://go.gov.sg/stackmeetup-2jul2026-mc)**. Limited seats available!
Who should attend: Product managers, software engineers, AI/ML developers, infrastructure specialists, and system architects, who are looking to bridge the gap between AI prototyping and production-grade software engineering.

Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?
**Delaying age-related diseases: Can the mushroom-derived nutrient ergothioneine prevent dementia?**
Distinguished Professor Barry Halliwell
host: Kamil Pabis, PhD, co-organized by VIVA foundation
As we sit in this room, we are all breathing oxygen (O2), a gas essential for life for efficient energy production from our food. Yet oxygen has a dark side; some of it makes reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as oxygen radicals, which can damage our body tissues, a factor that contributes to age-related diseases, especially dementia. ROS are not all bad, they help protect against infectious disease via the process of acute inflammation (keeping us alive) yet as we age inflammation isn’t controlled properly and the extra ROS cause more damage that contributes to age-related diseases. ROS levels in the body are controlled by antioxidants, many of which we make ourselves but others come from the diet. Most attention has been paid to vitamins C and E, polyphenols and carotenoids. Consuming diets rich in these compounds correlates with better health, but high doses of them as pure compounds in supplements have had little effect in delaying dementia and other age-related diseases in properly-controlled human clinical trials; supplements cannot replace the effects of a good diet. Interpreting correlational studies as causation is often done, but fraught with danger.
In the past ten years we have studied a diet-derived antioxidant that has been almost totally ignored, namely ergothioneine (ET). It is found in many foods, but the major source is mushrooms. Our work has demonstrated that ET is likely very important in maintaining brain health and delaying or preventing dementia and other age-related disease, and pilot clinical trials support this. Evidence is growing that ET is a “longevity vitamin” to support healthy ageing, but rigorous clinical trials are needed to prove this. Its effectiveness may be due to its many additional mechanisms to protect our organs, in addition to acting as an antioxidant.

Introducing The Best Group 🎾
What if a tennis class became the easiest way to meet new people?
**The Best Group** combines structured, level-based tennis group classes with an optional social matching experience.
Here's how it works:
🎾 Join a tennis group class with players of a similar level
🤝 Having joined a class, you can choose to be matched with **three other people you've never met before** for dinner.
The difference? **Everyone at the table will already have completed a tennis group class with The Best Group.**
Instead of meeting complete strangers with nothing in common, everyone shares the same experience, making conversations feel far more natural from the very beginning.
Think of it as a Timeleft-style social experience—but with a built-in shared connection before you ever sit down for dinner.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

CBusData - Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025
Highlights and Hidden Gems in SQL Server 2025
With so much emphasis on cloud data platforms and AI these days, SQL people can feel left behind by all the marketing hype. SQL Server 2025 was officially released in November of 2025, though, and contains a ton of improvements that will make our SQL Server deployments a bit faster, better, and more secure. There are even more improvements tucked into the release that never made a marketing blog or press release that you'll likely be learning about for the first time in this session!
Join this session to learn about what makes your high availability a little more available, your performance a bit more performant, and your database more developer and app-friendly. Come spend an hour with SQL people talking SQL Server 2025 – the good, the "not quite ready for prime time", and the hidden awesomeness.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
