**🍢 Kabab Kadai & Kadalais: The Ultimate Tamil Singles Meetup! 🍢**
Remember those golden college days? Sitting on the canteen benches for hours, a half-empty cup of tea in hand, talking about everything from cinema and dreams to "is the mess food actually edible?"

Dubai AI Meetup
**What this is about?**
This is a meetup group focused on AI. We meet every Saturday at 7:30pm at DIFC.
Usually there are up to 30 people from different backgrounds, such as AI programmers, rocket engineers, physicists, marketing, designers, investors... But it's also meant for people who have no background in AI and are looking for more insight. This is a very casual group for everyone, no presentations, you can pitch your AI business idea or discuss your favorite Terminator movie.
We meet at the Stage Area (next to S&C Music, see directions https://imgur.com/a/QIvYOvT ) above the Carrefour market at DIFC, just look for a group of people there without board games (if you see board games, that's another group). The group is free and there is no requirement to buy anything. There is free wifi.
📣 WhatsApp group for event updates (only mods can post):
[https://chat.whatsapp.com/JjrVIJyxHbe9fUWoGLaJsZ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JjrVIJyxHbe9fUWoGLaJsZ)
📍To get there:
🚇 Metro Station: Financial Centre Metro Station, 5 minutes walk, look for the Financial Centre exit sign.
🚗 Parking Options: Gate Avenue Parking is unfortunately under construction.
Other options: Gate District Building 2: free underground parking from 6 pm onwards. \* Street Parking near Ritz Carlton: This is a paid parking option, conveniently located. \* Gate Avenue Open Parking: Present a purchase receipt for 4 hours of complimentary parking.
💡 **Note**: *You might see a few other Meetup pages with similar names - this one’s run by the folks actually hosting the weekly meetups and building the in-person community you’ve seen at DIFC.*
*PS: We occasionally take group photos to capture good vibes and community spirit, by attending you're comfortable with casual group photos - feel free to step aside if you don't wish to be in them*

Curated Singles Event Marina
This one is a free, unhosted meetup — and some of you seem to like the format. **Under Weekly Soiree in the menu.** If you’re looking to meet a curated group of people weekly at a venue and can handle basic social interaction, this could be for you.
For women worried about creepy bar interactions: we hear you. That’s why we use a selection feature — you decide who gets invited. Women can tag other women to help balance ratios and anonymously tag men they’d actually like to meet.
This may be a better alternative to endless swiping. You meet in public, around other women, and the men are pre-selected by women in the group. **Sounds like a way safer and time efficient approach to meet people???**

We’ll reveal it once you’re accepted (i.e., after you’ve been tagged by a member) 📍

MONTHLY IMPROV MASHUP – MAY 2026
**\* Please note: RSVPing on Meetup does *not* guarantee entry. To secure your spot, kindly register through our website — priority is given to website sign-ups.\***
**“If people had no fear, you’d hardly need to have to teach them. It’s the fear that screws everything up.” – Keith Johnstone**
Our monthly Mash-up session is a 90-minute drop-in class where our experienced instructors will take you through a variety of fun and exhilarating improv games and exercises helping you to overcome your fear of failure, de-stress, get out of your head and into the moment. Our professional theatre provides the perfect supportive and inclusive environment for you to take a step out of your comfort zone and embark on an exciting journey into the world of improv.
This course is perfect for beginners who are unable to commit to a weekly class (now, you don’t have to miss out on experiencing the joy of improv!) More experienced players are also welcome to join to keep in practice, have fun, and enhance their craft on stage.
Annual Membership Available!

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
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.
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 “what-if” 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.

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.
