Toronto Data-Driven Polymarket Strategy
🔑 **Polymarket Edge — Analytical Forecasting for Income — Data beats gut feel. Learn the system.**
*The approach that turns good forecasting into repeatable income*
If you have tried prediction markets and found your results too inconsistent to rely on, this masterclass gives you the analytical framework that changes that. Using proven prediction market strategies, you develop a systematic forecasting edge that holds up across different market types.
---
**What this session teaches:**
- The workflow of a systematic Polymarket trader from market selection to close
- Strategies that generate consistent daily profit over large numbers of positions
- A data-driven forecasting process you can apply to any event market
**⚠️ Note:** This rsvp alone will not confirm your attendance, so complete registration through the link below — that holds your place not the RSVP — spots run out faster than you expect so register now, and your place is confirmed only once you have registered.
### [🔗 CLAIM YOUR SPOT](https://aiventurelab.org/product/Polymarket?city=Toronto&groupurlname=sparkling-chapters-reading-meetup-club&startgmtdatetime=2026-06-28T22:00:00Z)
The Polymarket edge is not a secret — it is a framework — grab your spot and learn what consistent Polymarket earners actually do differently, and the framework you build today starts working the same day.
🎯 *Every consistent Polymarket earner built a system first.*
In-Person Writing Sprints
Struggling with motivation and focus as you hammer away on your manuscript at home? Want to join a community of writers as we embrace the joys and pains (mostly pains) of writing together?
Bring your laptop, pen & paper, old-school typewriter, or futuristic writing gadget, and join an enthusiastic community of science fiction and fantasy writers as we work on our current projects in the same space. The format will be similar to our online writing sprints: 30-minute blocks of focused, quiet writing time (the sprints), interspersed with breaks where we can chat, ask questions, and share our writing experiences.
NEW LOCATION Sunday PUB-NIGHT/iNtuitive Banter at The Madison
**NEW LOCATION - Madison Avenue Pub**
**Due to FIFA schedule our venue may be busy. Be sure to confirm venue/dates before coming!**
Join your community of fellow Intuitives and MBTI nerds for a casual evening of engaging conversation.
We get together every second Sunday – with a mix of regulars and new friends. There is no fee to attend, though we ask that you support the venue by ordering something to eat or drink.
**Feel free to contact event host B. via Facebook/Meetup messenger, or text/call 416-712-8635 for directions**.
About the venue: Madison Avenue Pub, 14 Madison Ave
Nearest Subway: Spadina
Map / Directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/scdLEYqb9LNJWkgWA
We make an effort to find pubs that are quiet and introvert friendly, with a section to ourselves. We make no effort to muffle our extroverts, but should they get out of hand, our resident INTJ will use their death stare, to pull them back in line.
Toronto OpenClaw AI Agent Workshop
🤖 **Launch Your First AI Agent — OpenClaw — No setup. No code. Just build.**
*A hands-on workshop that produces a real output in one session*
If you have been watching AI tools evolve and wondering when you can actually build your own, this masterclass is the practical shortcut you have been looking for. By following along step by step, you complete a real agent from scratch using only a browser.
---
**Your output from this session:**
- The ability to describe a task and turn it into a working automation
- Hands-on skills to automate repetitive tasks using AI
- Confidence to build more agents without waiting for a developer
- A head start on AI automation that most people will never attempt
**⚠️ Two steps needed:** Clicking rsvp is only the first step not the whole process, so complete registration through the link below — that holds your place not the RSVP — spaces are purposely limited so move fast, and only a completed registration locks in your seat.
### [🔗 JOIN THE SESSION](https://aiventurelab.org/product/OpenClawMasterclass?city=Toronto&groupurlname=sparkling-chapters-reading-meetup-club&startgmtdatetime=2026-06-28T22:00:00Z)
From curious to capable in one hands-on workshop — register below — everything else is handled in the session, as you walk out with something that works not just notes.
💻 *The session where AI goes from buzzword to something you built.*
SFF Meets Romance
While we may be one of the largest local writing communities, we're not the only game in town! Join us for a get together with the Toronto Romance Writers. There's definitely overlap between our genres (romantasy, anyone?), so this is a great opportunity to meet local writers in a slightly but not too different field.
We'll be meeting at The Fox and the Fiddle location near Pape Station.
Toronto Build an AI Content Brand
🎭 **AI Influencer System — Viral Content on Autopilot — No followers to start. No camera required.**
*Built for those who want influence without the exposure of being on screen*
**What you walk away with:**
- Monetisation frameworks for faceless content — sponsorships, affiliate, digital products
- AI-powered video, image, and text content for any niche
- A monetisation path from day one — how faceless brands earn
For those who see content creators making money and want the income without the exposure, this workshop shows how AI handles content creation so you do not have to appear. By applying AI tools to creation, posting, and growth, you build a complete faceless AI content brand that creates and posts without your face.
**⚠️ Confirmation needed:** Clicking rsvp does not complete your registration, so use the link below to sign up fully — that is what actually secures your spot — spots fill quickly so do not leave it too long, and the RSVP alone counts for nothing here.
### [🔗 REGISTER HERE](https://aiventurelab.org/product/AiInfluencer?city=Toronto&groupurlname=sparkling-chapters-reading-meetup-club&startgmtdatetime=2026-06-28T22:00:00Z)

🎭 *Your brand. Your rules. No face needed.*
Toronto Automate Your Online Store
📦 **eCommerce Automation Masterclass — AI-Powered — Build once. Scale forever.**
*A blueprint for an online business that earns while you sleep*
**AI store session outputs:**
- An automated customer interaction system using AI-powered tools
- Passive income infrastructure built around AI automation
- A pricing and margin strategy built around AI-managed costs
For anyone who has looked at eCommerce and been put off by how much manual work it involves, this is where you learn to build the store and let AI run it. Through a step-by-step blueprint session, you create a complete self-running eCommerce store that earns without daily management.
**⚠️ Action needed:** Meetup rsvp alone does not register you for this session, so click the register link below and complete the full sign-up to hold your seat — places are finite so do not leave it to the last minute, and skipping this step means your place is not held.

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.

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.
