Whether you are coming on your own or with a friend, this is a great chance to connect with others in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Later in the evening, for those who want to stay on, the venue will also be showing **PSG vs Arsenal in the Champions League**, so the night can continue with a bit of football after the main social part of the evening.
Please note that this is a **booking-based event**, so **everyone must reconfirm using our link 3-4 days before the event**. This is important so we can finalize the reservation with the venue.
If you are looking for a good night out with live music, a lively crowd, great conversation, and a chance to get to know new people, this should be a really enjoyable evening.
**📢 IMPORTANT: Attendance Reconfirmation Required**
To ensure accurate headcounts and reduce no-shows, we're implementing an updated reconfirmation system for all events.

* All events start with unlimited RSVPs.
* 4 days before each event, a reconfirmation form will be posted in the event comments and shared in the WhatsApp group.
* You must reconfirm ASAP by submitting the form. Your spot is guaranteed only after you reconfirm.
* The form closes once we reach the target attendance number.
* Anyone who hasn’t reconfirmed when the form closes will be removed from the attendee list.
* If you can’t attend, change your status to Not Going.
**Two‑strike rule: If you don’t reconfirm and don’t change to Not Going two times, you will be removed from the group.**

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
