Suzhou Creek and North Bund Walking Tour Come with me for a stroll along my favorite part of Suzhou Creek and North Bund, passing numerous historical sites and culture landmarks while enjoying some natural peace and quiet at the same time. The entire route is about 5 kilometers long and aims to lead participants in reading architecture, appreciating culture, and engaging with history and meet and greet new friends on the tour.. Suzhou Creek, the biggest tributary of the Huangpu, runs through central areas of the city and stretches from the Outer Ring to the Bund. Suzhou creek waterfront has been revitalized in recent years to provide uninterrupted walking paths, new gardens and ample resting areas. The riverbanks in Huangpu District, about 3 kilometers from Chengdu Road Bridge to Waibaidu Bridge near the Bund, has become a pedestrian-favored corridor Let us enjoy the enchanting scenery of the Suzhou Creek not only on foot, Waibaidu Bridge （Garden bridge） This is China’s first all-steel bridge and, in Shanghai style, lights up in different colors in the evening. This steel bridge from 1907 is one of a few unequal height truss bridge in China. It played a part in numerous books and movies With its rich history and unique design, it is a symbol of ShanghaiSimply enjoy the walk on the wooden deck of this old bridge Suzhou Creek holds a special place in the hearts of Shanghai residents. The region's silks and ceramics were carried along the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and centuries later the area became an early industrial hub of the city. Since Shanghai was forced to open its port in 1843, the creek has been the backdrop for dramatic landmarks in the city's history. It was the scene of wartime suffering and the birthplace of China's earliest national industries. North Bund offers innovation, history, stunning skyline views Shanghai’s riverside areas have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths, shikumen residences are being renovated, and the historic North Bund is becoming the city’s “most beautiful parlor.” Let's have a walk along North Bund, a gem with stunning views of the Lujiazui skyline, plenty of thrilling adventures to get up to, and countless photo-worthy moments waiting for you to capture.

Arrive On Time: If you arrive late to registration you might miss out on some of the fun. Pace Yourself: It's essential to pace yourself and drink responsibly during a bar crawl. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help you stay hydrated and reduce the risk of a hangover the next day and help with your overconsumption of alcohol during the Crawl. Eat Beforehand: Eating a substantial meal before the bar crawl can help absorb alcohol and prevent you from getting too drunk too quickly.

🔥What if your anxiety isn’t the problem… but the signal you’ve been ignoring? 🔍 💡Anxiety is one of the most common mental health challenges worldwide—yet it is often misunderstood. In this powerful session, you will discover that anxiety is more than stress or worry; it is a signal shaped by family, environment, and personal experiences that influences how you think, feel, and act. Rather than fighting anxiety, this webinar reveals how to understand its roots and use it as a guide for change. Through practical tools such as visualization, early detection, and identity transformation, you will learn how to manage anxiety effectively and turn it into a source of clarity, resilience, and personal growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck in recurring patterns or overwhelmed by your thoughts, this session offers a new perspective—and a path forward. 📅Join us on **May 17, 2026**, for “**Anxiety Explained: Understand and Manage It**” with **Darko Shekerinov**, MSc, Gestalt Therapist, NLP & ICF Coach, and discover how to transform anxiety into clarity and growth. 🎯 **Key Points / Takeaways for the Audience** ✅ Anxiety is common yet manageable: It affects thoughts, emotions, and identity—but can be understood and transformed. ✅ Origins shape experience: Family, environment, and personal history influence how anxiety develops. ✅ Awareness creates change: Recognizing early signals allows you to respond instead of react. ✅ Practical tools work: Visualization, detection, and daily rituals help manage anxiety effectively. ✅ Identity shift matters: Moving beyond “I am anxious” builds confidence and emotional strength. 🎯 **Additional Key Points / Benefits** ✅ Break repetitive patterns that keep anxiety in control. ✅ Improve decision-making and emotional regulation in daily life. ✅ Turn anxiety into a constructive force for action and growth. ✅ Build resilience and clarity under pressure. ✅ Develop a stronger, more empowered sense of self. **🎤 ABOUT THE SPEAKER** Darko Shekerinov, MSc, is a Gestalt Therapist, NLP Practitioner, and ICF-certified coach with over 10 years of international experience. With more than 3,000 hours of certified training and over 200 clients supported, he specializes in emotional wellbeing and personal transformation.

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!

**Abstract:** This is a practical playbook for building a production-grade data lakehouse. It walks through foundational principles — naming conventions, least-privilege access, automated CI/CD testing — before diving into medallion architecture. Furthermore, metadata-driven design patterns show how configuration tables and dynamic notebook orchestration eliminates hard-coded pipelines. The deck covers star schema modeling, guidance on choosing between Spark, Pandas, and SQL, and data quality enforcement using DQX with YAML data contracts. Finally, we dive into security best practices and performance optimizations. **Host:** Justin Shea, Mehdi Jeddi, Erik Pak, and Sou-Cheng Choi **Talk Format:** This is a hybrid event.
