How do you scale an AI startup from an initial idea to an enterprise-grade solution? Hear from the Snowflake Startup Program team and a cohort of founders who are leveraging Snowflake to transform complex data into intelligent, scalable products **Snowflake for Startups Program** **Ryan Lieber** Ryan Lieber will introduce the Snowflake for Startups Program, which provides several initiatives (e.g.,Startup Package, Startup Program & Cortex REST API) focused on supporting early-stage companies from a financial, technical and co-marketing perspective as they look to build their businesses on top of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. Learn how the program supports startups with technical enablement, go-to-market guidance, and direct access to Snowflake’s ecosystem to help scale innovative AI and data-driven products. **From Program to Agentic AI: Building Enterprise Context** **Ekai** How do startups move from the Snowflake Startup Program to delivering high-impact AI solutions for major industries? In this session, the leadership team at Ekai will share their journey of building enterprise AI products powered by Snowflake. They will explore how they tackle one of the biggest challenges in AI: Enterprise Context. You’ll learn how Ekai developed an AI Backbone that transforms fragmented enterprise data into intelligent, agentic AI systems, along with the technical and commercial strategy required to scale across industries such as manufacturing and media. **Unlocking the 80%: Turning Unstructured Data into Governed AI Intelligence** **EmergeGen** Enterprise AI doesn’t fail because of the models. It fails because 80% of critical enterprise data - including contracts, PDFs, and emails - remains unstructured, ungoverned, and inaccessible to decision-making systems. In this session, EmergeGen, a Snowflake Native App, will demonstrate how organisations can unlock this hidden intelligence. Using ontology-based reasoning, EmergeGen converts messy unstructured data into governed, analysis-ready intelligence without data leaving the Snowflake environment. **Key Highlights** * Native Integration - Build a governed intelligence layer directly inside the Snowflake Data Cloud * Beyond the LLM - Use ontologies to make AI systems explainable and trustworthy * Real-World Impact - Case studies from MSD Partners (Private Credit) and 101 Logistics **Speakers** Ryan Lieber - Snowflake Startup Program EMEA & AJP Tero - Chief Commercial Officer, Ekai Hussnain - AI Architect, Ekai Allan Beechinor - EmergeGen **Event Schedule** 📍 26 March 18:30 - Ryan Lieber, Snowflake - Introduction to the Snowflake Startup Program 18:45 - Ekai - From Program to Agentic AI 19:10 - EmergeGen - Unlocking the 80%: Unstructured Data to Governed AI **Food & Drinks** Food and drinks will be provided during the event.

**IMPORTANT! Please register at [Luma Page](https://luma.com/emp7l1m3)** ​Projector Global Community (by [Projector Institute](https://prjctr.com/en/about)) together with [RichardsDee](https://richardsdee.com/) invite you to our Practical Vibe Coding Club session. Who This Is For: This session is for product makers and builders who want a faster, more native way to go from idea to prototype in real time, and turn ideas into working experiences. No coding experience is required. This is about learning how to build, collaborate, and reiterate faster. What to expect: We’ll introduce the fundamentals of vibe coding, explore the tools that enable it, and set up a live working environment together. Participants will create a boilerplate project in Visual Studio Code using Vite + React, and learn how to move from concept to functional prototype. **Please come prepared with**: • A laptop • Visual Studio Code installed (**[https://code.visualstudio.com](https://code.visualstudio.com/)**) • A GitHub account (**[https://github.com/signup](https://github.com/signup)**) • Signed into both with your personal credentials About Speaker: **[Harshad Wadhwani](https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshad-wadhwani/overlay/about-this-profile/)** Senior UX Designer at Microsoft. Over the past year, Harshad has been deeply exploring vibe coding, moving beyond traditional design tools and into real time, code based collaboration with stakeholders. Recently, this has included experimenting with workflows that don’t rely on Figma at all, focusing instead on shared prototyping environments and live co-creation in code. Outcome: You’ll leave with a working project setup, a clear understanding of vibe coding workflows, and a new mental model for building and prototyping collaboratively with teams. Session Flow (Approximate) • 10 mins — Meet & greet • 15 mins — Harshad’s intro & framing • 60 mins — Setup & troubleshooting • 15 mins — Break • 60 mins — Explore, build, and experiment • 30 mins — Closing discussion & reflection

**Speaker:** Mick Cooney Survival analysis is a statistical method for analyzing the expected duration of time until an event occurs. In this one-hour talk, we will walk through the application of survival analysis to life insurance policy lapses, starting from foundational concepts and moving toward Bayesian modeling approaches using Stan. We will begin by setting the scene with a practical example: the impact of the 2008-2011 credit crisis on Irish life insurance. This provides a backdrop to introduce core survival analysis concepts, including censoring, truncation, survival functions, and hazard functions. Next, we will review classic approaches to modeling survival data. We will cover the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimator, discuss standard parametric models, and examine semi-parametric methods like the Cox Proportional Hazards model. The second half of the talk will focus on Bayesian survival analysis. Using R and Stan, we will demonstrate how to construct Bayesian models for time-to-event data. We will step through the process of assessing model fit and discuss strategies for improving model performance, focusing on handling right-censored data and quantifying uncertainty. This session provides an overview for practitioners interested in applying both traditional and Bayesian survival analysis techniques to their own data problems.

Plan to have a pre-show drink at the Bard Gais Energy Theatre, if anyone feels like joining. I'll add more information closer to the date. Please buy your own ticket here: [https://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/rusalka/](https://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/rusalka/) Driven by her consuming love for a human prince, water nymph **RUSALKA** abandons her realm to navigate his mortal world. A tale of longing, transformation and the high cost of desire, Dvořák’s rich, lyrical score brings this darkly poetic fairy tale to life with the iconic *Song to the Moon* at its heart. Irish National Opera’s new production features a world-class cast, with Irish soprano **Jennifer Davis** in the title role. A rising star on the international stage, her performance in INO’s *Faust* (2023) was praised as “exquisite and vibrantly emotional” (Sunday Independent). New York tenor **Ryan Capozzo** is the Prince, with American mezzo-soprano **Michelle DeYoung** as the witch Ježibaba and Croatian bass **Ante Jerkunica** as Rusalka’s father, Vodník. Soprano **Giselle Allen** is the Foreign Princess with baritone **Benjamin Russell** as the Gamekeeper. Completing the ensemble are sopranos **Rachel Croash** and **Sarah Richmond** and mezzo-soprano **Alexandra Urquiola** as the Wood Nymphs. Direction and design are by the visionary **Netia Jones**, who co-created and directed INO’s Olivier award nominated *Least Like The Other, Searching for Rosemary Kennedy.* INO’s Artistic Director **Fergus Sheil** conducts the INO orchestra and chorus. *Rusalka* is sung in Czech with English surtitles.

My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick. I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people. \*\*In this tutorial, we will build an end‑to‑end object detection workflow using the **DETR** model from Meta AI, powered by **Hugging Face Transformers** and **PyTorch** based on a Hugging Face tutorial. We will use a small public dataset, walk through data preprocessing, fine‑tuning the model, evaluating performance, and finally running inference on a **new, unseen image** containing a similar object that was not part of the training set. You will receive a Jupyter notebook with clean, reusable code covering every step. No setup required beyond a laptop and a Google account to run everything in Google Colab. **The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.** **For more information about the tutorials:** * The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around €10 which can last several months depending on your usage. Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace. * The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours. * During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way. * The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects * We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets. * Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications. This tutorial take place at the **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** (We will be sitting in the lobby in the corner or on the right handside). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**. **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** * The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part! * *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*

Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! Tonight's a special one; this is "Long form" night! Most nights here at Improv Meetup, we play "short form" games, where the host has established rules that the players must adhere to. These scenes frequently do not tell a connected story and are focused on following those rules; games such as "Alphabet Game" where every next sentence needs to start with the next letter of the alphabet, or "Interrogation" where it's a guessing game. Tonight is focused on "long form", where we will see groups of people come up and do a sort of improvised play. There may be rules to the structure itself to adhere to, or it may be more free form, but doing this allows players to establish a shared world, and to establish characters and callbacks. While your average game may last 2-3 minutes, a long form set will last much longer, and have 4+ people involved. This may be a more complicated night, but we will make sure you feel supported to try this out. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
