מרעיון למוצר - סדנת עיצוב וחיתוך בלייזר בשני מפגשים
בסדנה נכיר את הכלים העיקריים בתוכנה חינמית ועשירה לעיצוב וקטורי ונלמד לעצב פריטים שימושיים. נעצב יחד שני תוצרים אמיתיים - קערה ומחזיק טלפון - ונייצר אותם בלייזר. במהלך הסדנה נפתח ביטחון בעיצוב וקטורי, כך שנוכל להמשיך ולעצב באופן עצמאי בבית ולהגיע למייקלאב כדי לחתוך את העיצובים שלנו במכונת הלייזר.
עלות: 250 ש"ח למבוגר/ת (לתושבי יהוד-מונוסון: 220 ש"ח למבוגר/ת.)

# \*\*[Ariel Shulman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariel-shulman/overlay/about-this-profile/) \|\*\* Software Engineer at Factify \| **Postgres Beyond the Rows**
You’re likely underutilizing the most powerful piece of your infrastructure.
While most devs treat Postgres as a reliable container for rows and columns, it’s actually a sophisticated engine capable of handling complex data challenges.
From mastering deep, nested hierarchies with lightning-fast traversal to image deduplication and similarity search at scale (no vectors!).
In this session we will move beyond standard queries to show how built-in indexing and specialized data types can replace external microservices, and simplify your stack. Come see why the most powerful tool in your stack is likely the one you’re already running.
## \*\*[Nadav (Kremer) Beker](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadav-kremer/overlay/about-this-profile/) \|\*\* Tech Lead at **Finonex**\| **How Observability Killed My Performance**
Logs, traces, metrics, correlation IDs — observability promises clarity when systems get complex. But in Node.js, these tools are not free, and used without care they can become a serious performance bottleneck. In this talk, I’ll share real-world lessons from production Node.js systems where adding observability actually degraded performance. We’ll look at the hidden costs of logging, async logging, AsyncLocalStorage, distributed tracing, and high-cardinality metrics — and why these issues often only appear under real load.

Shut Up & Write!® at Beit Ariela
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

AI Freedom Alliance - Inaugural Summit

**What is AI Freedom Alliance?**
AI Freedom Alliance promotes the responsible growth of AI guided by practical, commonsense ethics. Our nonprofit is built by
professionals from a wide range of industries and is made up entirely of small- and mediumbusiness representatives—never large tech companies. We provide a counterbalance to big corporate influence, focusing instead on how AI can benefit businesses and the world at large.
**What’s Happening?**
***The inaugural AI Freedom Alliance Summit.***
This full-day event will explore how we can ensure AI is adopted responsibly through shared ethical standards that empower
humanity. The summit will feature interactive and educational sessions led by thought leaders, technologists, policymakers, and advocates who are passionate about making AI fair, transparent, and beneficial for everyone.
**Why Attend?**
Learn about the legal and technical challenges with implementing AI solutions within your organization. Build better solutions while protecting your organization from legal and compliance risks. And learn how to think strategically about AI as a differentiation tool for your business.
This summit is highly recommended for C-Suite leaders to learn as well as interact with each other and our sponsors.
