Welcome back to our meetup in April. The date is right before the GITEX AI Asia conference held at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre. * **06:00 PM** Registration, dinner, networking * **06:30 PM** Talk starts Talk #1: Powering AI Agents/Apps with contextual data from more than just the default vector search Description: Most solutions showcase vector search as the default search mechanism to power AI applications. But it is often not the most effective solution. In this demo, we will showcase different search techniques and hybrid approaches for retrieving contextual data with MongoDB. Talk #2: Real Practical RAG, from Demo to Production - in a 10,000-person organization and an intelligence org Moving from controlled demos to real-world deployment exposed several challenges that are easy to underestimate. In clean demos, our prompts/queries are often well-formed and datasets are neatly curated, and we test the happy paths. But real users behave very differently. We observed clear gaps between how users express intent and how that intent is represented in the embedding space (leads to irrelevant/missed retrievals). This made retrieval design and chunking strategy critical: how documents are split, indexed, and ranked directly impacted whether the system could “understand” a query. Additionally, as the dataset scaled with many similar or overlapping documents, retrieval became noisier - every vector is similar to a lot other vector - making it harder to consistently surface the right information. These challenges highlight that building a production-ready RAG system is not just about ensuring our datasets and RAG method works, but also user's intent and behavior. TBA: We will have a 2nd speaker talking about AI in real use cases in intelligence orgs either in this meetup or the next meetup. More details for the 2nd speaker are still being prepared.

Hello everyone! Join us for an IN PERSON Apache Kafka® x Apache Flink® meetup on Apr 10th from 6:30pm, hosted by Credit Agricole CIB in Singapore! **📍 Venue:** Mapletree Business City Blk 20 West 20 Pasir Panjang Road Singapore, 117439 , Level 13 \*\*\* **🗓 Agenda:** * 18:30pm-19:00pm: Food, Drinks & Networking * 19:00pm-19:30pm: Zabeer Farook, Technical Architect, Credit Agricole CIB * 19:30pm-20:00pm: ​Dominique Ronde, Staff Solution Engineer, Confluent * 20:00pm-20:30pm: Networking \*\*\* **💡 Speaker:** ​Dominique Ronde, Staff Solution Engineer, Confluent **Talk:** Guardians of the Stream: Kafka, Flink, and the Rise of GenAI **Abstract:** In this session we will explore how Kafka and Flink can seamlessly integrate with GenAI to build intelligent systems capable of real-time learning, automation, and decision-making. Discover the next frontier in data streaming and artificial intelligence, where Kafka, Flink, and GenAI take center stage in shaping the future of industries. **Bio:** ​**Dominique Ronde** is a Staff Solution Engineer at Confluent, a pioneer in enterprise event-streaming platforms. With previous roles as a Big Data Architect and Data Scientist at freeyou, SAP, and Allianz, Dominique brings deep expertise in digital transformation, Java, AWS, and Apache Kafka®. Since 2016, he has worked extensively with Apache Flink and currently serves as a subject matter expert in the APAC region. Dominique is a frequent speaker at conferences worldwide, with a recent focus on innovative data use cases in the insurance industry. Outside of work, he enjoys experimenting with Arduino microcontrollers, IoT home devices, and traveling. \-\-\-\-\- **💡 Speaker:** Zabeer Farook, Technical Architect, Credit Agricole CIB **Talk:** Natural Language Analytics in the Lakehouse : Why is it harder than it looks? **Abstract:** AI agents and the Model Context Protocol finally make natural language analytics on your lakehouse technically plausible — any LLM can discover your schema, plan a query strategy, and return results in seconds. But connect an agent directly to your Iceberg stack and something uncomfortable happens: it returns confident, fluent, wrong answers with no signal that anything is amiss. This talk demonstrates exactly why — wrong metric formulas, invented business terms, incorrect join paths — and introduces the architectural layer that fixes it: the unified semantic layer, exposed as an MCP API. A glimpse at what becomes possible when agents call meaning, not just schema. **Bio:** Zabeer is a seasoned Technology Architect with nearly 20 years of experience in enterprise software across FSI and fintech, including retail banking, wealth management, KYC, regulatory reporting, and payment systems. He brings strong expertise in digital transformation, legacy modernization, and data engineering, with hands-on experience in AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, Flink, Spark, APIs, and DevOps.

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
