AI and Beers - Athens #6 @ Panathenea 2026
AI and Beers - Athens #6 @ Panathenea 2026
🤖 AI agents aren't chatbots! They decide, they act, they call APIs, they handle data and when something goes wrong, you find out days later, if at all. Over the past twelve months, production agents have leaked credentials, executed unauthorized transactions, and exfiltrated confidential data through prompt injection. Classical security and QA playbooks don't catch these attack surfaces, because the trust boundary just moved, and most teams haven't caught up yet. We're gathering for an honest conversation - no theory, no vendor pitches. On the panel, practitioners who work on agent security every day, from people leading international open-source security frameworks to QA veterans who know first-hand why deterministic testing collapses in the face of non-deterministic AI. We'll talk about the new attack surfaces, real production incidents, and what every builder needs to know before shipping agents. Most AI security conversations happen behind closed doors. This one happens under the open Athens sky — accessible to all levels, beer in hand, in the city that invented public discourse.🍻 📅 **Thursday, May 28, 2026, 19:00**, we'll discuss the security of Agentic AI systems, real-world incidents, emerging attack surfaces, and what every builder needs to know before they ship. 📍 Where? **In the back courtyard of New York College, 38 Vasilissis Amalias Avenue, Athens 105 58** — a relaxed, open-air space in the heart of the city, ideal for conversation and networking. 🚌 Getting there: Right across from the National Garden: Metro: "Syntagma" Station (Lines 2 & 3) — 3 minutes on foot Tram: "Syntagma" Stop Buses: 040, 550, X14, 5, 15 (Stops "Amalias" or "Syntagma") Trolleybuses: 2, 4, 5, 11 (Stop "Syntagma") 👉 **Panel Discussion: Securing the Agentic Web** An honest conversation about the security challenges of agentic AI — what actually goes wrong in practice, what the new attack surfaces look like, and how you build AI agents that won't betray you when incidents hit. Accessible to all levels — no prior security background required. 👉 **Fireside Chat: Success Stories** Honest, first-hand accounts from teams inside Greek enterprises who deployed agentic AI into production and lived through what came next. They'll walk us through the risks they actually faced. 📋 **Program** **18:45 – 19:00: 🚪 Arrival & welcome** **19:00 – 19:30: 🎙️ Panel Discussion — Securing the Agentic Web (30')** * *John Sotiropoulos* **19:30 – 20:00: 🔥 Fireside Chat — Success Stories (30')** * *Romanos Matthaiasos* **20:00 – 20:15: 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️ Q&A — open questions from the audience (15')** **20:15 – 21:30: 🍻 Networking & Drinks (75')** 🎯 **Why you should come** 1. You'll understand how agentic AI systems fail in real scenarios — not theory, but what has actually happened 2. You'll get practical insights from people working actively in AI security 3. You'll meet builders and founders facing the same challenges as you 4. You'll connect with the Greek AI community at the largest tech gathering of the year 5. And you'll have an unforgettable evening — with a beer in hand, under the Athenian sky 🍻 **Seats are running out faster than the first beer. Book now!** 🚨 🚀 **Supporters** Thanks to New York College for hosting us and to the Panathenea 2026 team for the framework. This event is supported by HumanBound — an AI agent security testing platform that helps teams find vulnerabilities in their agents before attackers do. 🎤 **Speakers** * **John Sotiropoulos** — Leader of the global OWASP Agentic AI Top 10 initiative, one of the most important open-source frameworks for AI agent security worldwide. * **Romanos Matthaiasos** — Software QA Manager at Eurolife FFH & ISTQB Instructor. Evangelist of the shift-left mentality with 17+ years in test automation, who'll explain why classic QA playbooks fall apart in the face of non-deterministic AI. *By registering, you accept that AIandBeers and HumanBound will use your information (first name, last name, email) to organize the event and create networking opportunities. Photos and videos taken during the event may be used for promotion on social media and other channels.* \-\-\- *This is an alcohol free events (alcohol free beers)*

Speak Easy (Storytelling)
Speak Easy (Storytelling)
The topic for June is "Roadtrip" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD  at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php) PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show! Should be a fun one, Dan

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
