## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.

The Reasoning Layer: Architecting Multi-Agent Support Systems with Google Cloud
Hey there, awesome people! 😊 We've got something exciting to share with you—our next big event!
When? May 5th, 6:30 PM Where? Autogrill headquarters, Strada 5, Rozzano (MI)
Join us at the Innovation Hub and the Factory Food Designers, the beating heart of gastronomic innovation for the Avolta/Autogrill Group. It's a true idea incubator, where chefs, pastry chefs, nutritionists, designers, food bloggers and technologists meet every day to anticipate trends and bring new flavors, products and concepts to life—the same ones that end up in Autogrill stores around the world.
The space is organized into dedicated areas, each with its own specific function:
the Food Hall, designed for meetings, events and coworking sessions
the Food Academy, where staff are trained and show cooking sessions with top chefs take place
Area 51, the space for free-form experimentation, which also houses a small High-Tech Restaurant with table service and a chef experience table
the Concept & Food Tech Lab, where Autogrill's main formats are prototyped and tested before hitting the road
Here are some interesting links about the venue and sponsors:
Avolta Next Milano: https://avoltanextmilano.autogrill.it/
Factory Food Designers: https://www.autogrill.com/it/storie/factory-food-designers-la-ricerca-costante-delleccellenza
Was Coffee: https://www.autogrill.it/wascoffee/
Now, here's the scoop: We're diving into a time when software isn't just following orders anymore—it's thinking, planning, and playing it smart. Enter AI agents! These are like the new superheroes—smart systems that see what's up around them, make cool decisions, and go for it to hit their goals. So, what's in it for a food & travel retail company like Autogrill? Let's find out together!
In our chat, we'll break down AI agents into real-life examples straight from Autogrill's turf—from the highway pit stops to our Factory Food Designers innovation lab right here in Rozzano. And guess what? We're rolling out Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), this open-source mastermind that helps you whip up, run, and show off multi-agent systems on Google Cloud. Oh, and we'll even throw a live demo on stage!
Please note: an additional registration will be required for venue access and will be requested from registered attendees
See you on the 5th! 🎉

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.

LLM Showdown: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini vs Local Models
Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability.
You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required.
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.
Shut Up & Write!™ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One Café, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
• What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
• What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The Café on Saturday!
