**You’ll receive a confirmation email once your seat is approved.**
**When**: Wednesday, February 25, 2026 18:00–20:00
**Where**: Tikal offices, 6 Kremenetski St , 1st Floor, Tel Aviv
\*The meetup will be held in Hebrew
In many development teams, AI adoption still starts and ends with a prompt window. Useful, but limited.
The real shift begins when teams move from isolated prompt experiments to agentic workflows that actually support delivery.
How do personal AI habits turn into something a team can rely on.
What tools and working patterns are emerging. And what does an Agentic SDLC look like once it goes beyond one developer.
This meetup explores the evolution of developer workflows in the age of AI.
From personal IDE setups and smart context reuse to the early foundations of Agentic SDLC at the team level.
The event is inspired by Tikal’s Tech Radar Voice podcast series
“Agentic SDLC: From personal workflow to team workflow”
and brings those conversations into a live, interactive setting.
**On the Agenda:**
**18:00–18:30** Welcome drinks and networking
**18:30–19:15** From Manifesto to Main Branch: A Spec Driven Approach to the Agentic SDLC// Lior Kanfi, CEO & Founder, Tikal
AI coding agents promise velocity, but often deliver chaos. The root cause is usually the lack of a shared source of truth.
Instead, teams end up with inconsistent vibe coding, where ad hoc prompts lead to unpredictable results.
In this talk, Lior shows how to ground the Twelve Factor Agentic SDLC in the principles of Spec Driven Development.
He will introduce the agentic sdlc spec kit, an open source toolkit that makes this approach practical.
You will see how a single /specify command can translate a business requirement from an issue tracker into a formal, version controlled specification. This spec.md becomes the contract that governs the entire AI workflow, from automated planning and implementation to generating risk based tests.
The session focuses on how teams can move from unpredictable prompting to a governed, spec driven system that turns AI from a clever gadget into a reliable and accountable team member.
**19:15–20:00** Panel discussion: Working with AI: from personal routines to teamwide Agentic SDLC
Moderator// Nir Kaufman, Tech Lead, Tikal
Panelists
* Mati Konen, VP of Engineering, Fairgen
* Muly Gottlieb, Head of Engineering, Applitools
* Roy Kass, Fullstack Tech Lead, Tikal
In the panel, we’ll hear from the speakers about:
* How they’re personally using AI tools in their own day-to-day work as developers, leads, and product people
* What their teams are trying when it comes to integrating agents into real workflows and where things still get stuck
* How dev environments are evolving: IDE setups, context management, and async flows
* What Agentic SDLC actually looks like when it starts to take shape across a team
* Lessons, surprises, and small changes that made a big difference in how they work

Frontendistim Community February Meetup at AWS!
Join us for an evening of focused tech talks, real-world frontend knowledge, and good people. We’ll hear from experienced engineering leaders on modern web practices.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate with fellow frontend enthusiasts!
This meetup is organized by **[Enpitech](https://enpitech.dev/)**, a frontend-focused team helping startups build reliable, production-grade web products.
This special event wouldn't be possible without the generous support of **AWS and Qodo**, our gracious hosts.
**Agenda:**
**18:00** \- Doors open \- Mingling \+ Food
**18:30** \- Opening Remarks
**18:40** - **Hila Fox -** Principal Engineer @ Qodo + **Addie Cohen** \- Software Engineer @ Qodo\.
**Specialized Code Review Agents: The Evolution to Frontend Runtime Review**
A year ago we built an agent. Then we made it agentic. Now it's a full-blown multi-agent system. Remember when products didn't change under your feet every five minutes? I do. It was nice.
In this talk, we will share Qodo's journey through AI's chaos: how we moved from single prompts to multi-agent code review, architected with LangGraph and MCPs (Figma, Linear, and more). We will walk through some of our specialized review agents. Including a runtime agent that actually runs your code changes, records the UI flow, and catches UI errors and console errors on video. I'll close with a live demo and a few hard-won lessons on staying current in a market that won't slow down.

האמת?
יש לנו הרבה מה להגיד. אבל הפעם בחרנו להתחיל מהסוף.
עם ליינאפ כזה, לפעמים הדבר הנכון ביותר הוא פשוט לתת למוזיקה לדבר לפני הכל.
בפורים הקרוב אנחנו מארחים בלילה אחד כמה מהשמות הגדולים, הבולטים והאהובים ביותר בסצנה הישראלית והעולמית – כאלה שכשעולים על הבמה הלבבות רועדים, האנרגיה מתפוצצת וכל רגע מרגיש כמו חלום שלא רוצים שייגמר. זה נשמע כמו אשליה, אבל כן – זה אמיתי.
אנחנו הולכים לארח בלילה אחד את זהבי האחד והיחיד עם הבוזוקי והאנרגיה הבלתי נשכחת. את דרקו מכונת הלהיטים שממשיך לכבוש רחבות בארץ ובעולם. את דאלי עם הסאונד הייחודי שכשהוא עולה קורה משהו אחר ברחבה, ואיך אפשר בלי אשר סוויסה עם הגרוב האינסופי שמלווה אותנו כבר שנים.

אז מאיפה מתחילים?
אנחנו חיים בבועה.
בועה של מציאות אחרת – כזאת שיודעת לקחת מורכבות, עומס ויום־יום, ולהפוך אותם לשמחה מתפרצת, לחופש, לרגעים של אסקפיזם טהור.
יש משהו בנו, משהו בעם שלנו, שיודע לנווט בין הכל – ולבחור לרקוד.
אנחנו מבינים אתכם.
את התחושות בבטן, את הגירודים בגוף, את הפומו, את הצורך לצאת למסע מוזיקלי אמיתי.
לא עוד ערב. לא עוד מסיבה.
אלא חוויה. מסע. בועה משלנו.
קפסולת זמן מושלמת, שבה אפשר להיות מי שאנחנו, לרקוד עם הפנים קדימה ולהיסחף עם האומנים הכי טובים לכמה שעות שבהן פשוט מרגישים שוב – חיים.
רגע לפני שאנחנו פותחים עונה חדשה, החלטנו לעשות משהו מיוחד.
אירוע חד־פעמי של **BUBBLES** בחג הכי צבעוני, חופשי ושמח בשנה – פורים.
זה הזמן להשתחרר.
להתחפש.
להגזים.
להיות מי שאתם רוצים להיות.
כמה שיותר צבעוני יותר טוב וכמה שיותר משוחרר יותר נכון.
באירוע הקרוב שוכחים הכל.
אנחנו יוצאים למסע מוזיקלי ארוך מהשקיעה ועד הזריחה.
מול הגלים על רחבת השלוותה, במקום שבו הכל מתחבר.
**MIKOM**
מול הגלים.
איפה שהשמיים כחולים יותר, הים אין־סופי, והרחבה פתוחה לכולם.
המקום שראה הכל , דיג’יים בינלאומיים, אומנים מקומיים, רגעים גדולים ולילות בלתי נשכחים.
אין לוקיישן מדויק יותר לבועה שלנו ואין מקום טוב יותר לחוות בו את פורים..
בואו לקחת חלק באירוע הכי מיוחד בשנה, 12 שעות של מוזיקה טובה שלא נגמרת.
תבואו מחופשים כמה שיותר מוגזם, נתראה

Columbus in-person chapter meeting: Your 2026 Buy Box + Successful Rentals 101
(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Columbus-in-person-chapter-meeting-Your-2026-Buy-Box-Successful-Rentals-101-14-3-3-2026)**.)
Let’s be honest. In 2026, you can’t use 2023 strategies and “hope” a deal works out.
Demand for rentals, wholesale deals, retail deals, and even loans has changed, and that means that the most active, experienced investors have changed the way they do deals (and maybe even the kinds of deals they’ll do).
Here at COREE, our job is to shortcut your learning curve by introducing you to the people and concepts you need to take the shortest path from here to financial freedom, and we think you’ll agree that this meeting is a no-brainer, if you’re serious about making wealth-building deals this year.
Here’s the detailed agenda:
From 6:00–7:00 p.m.,
From 7:30–9:00 p.m.,
Agenda:
5:00–6:00 p.m. Complimentary Light Dinner & Networking
6:00–7:00 p.m\*\*. New Investor Meeting: Basics of Making Money in Rentals with Vena Jones-Cox\*\*. If you’re planning to buy rentals today, you have to know how to evaluate the REAL income and expenses before you make an offer. If you’re new, you’ll finally understand how rentals really produce profit. If you’ve been around a while, you’ll see how today’s numbers change the math.
7:00 –7:30 **Buy-Sell-Trade (Members Only)**
Bring your deals, money, buyer lists, referrals, and requests.
Fast-moving. Bring flyers or business cards.
Guests get a quick orientation with Executive Director Vena Jones-Cox.
7:30–9:00 p.m. **Main Meeting: Your 2026 Buy Box: What Experienced Investors are Buying in 2026 (and what they won’t touch).** Our panel of active, experienced investors will lay out their 2026 buy boxes. Not hypotheticals. Not “in theory.”
What they are actually buying—and what they won’t touch.
They’ll share:
* What property types investors are actively pursuing
* What strategies they’ve stopped using
* The exact numbers they require before they say yes
* How insurance, taxes, and rates have tightened the buy box
* What instantly disqualifies a deal in today’s market
* How to define your own 2026 buy box based on capital and risk tolerance
Members and non-members at any level of knowledge and experience are welcome—as long as you’re serious about real estate, value experience-based, no B.S. education, and want to give as much as you get.
Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Columbus-in-person-chapter-meeting-Your-2026-Buy-Box-Successful-Rentals-101-14-3-3-2026)** and register on our website!
Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### Turning Rentals Into Income: How Investors Pay Off Properties Faster
#### **Featuring Guest Speaker: John Blackburn**

A lot of people get into real estate because they want freedom.
Then they buy a rental…and realize most of the rent goes straight to the bank.
They technically own property, but the mortgage controls the income. And waiting 30 years for properties to be paid off doesn’t feel realistic.
This meetup is about understanding a different way to think about rental properties… one that focuses on paying them off sooner so the income is actually usable.
**Featured Guest Speaker: John Blackburn**
We’re excited to welcome John Blackburn as our guest speaker for this event.
John has been actively investing in real estate since 2006 and has:
* Been involved in **5,000+ real estate transactions**
* Helped investors **acquire over $150 million in rental property**
* **Raised more than $100 million** in private capital
John didn’t start with family money or shortcuts. He built his portfolio by focusing on clear systems, real numbers, and long-term strategy.
For this meetup, John will walk through how investors shift their focus from simply owning rentals to building properties that eventually pay them…without a mortgage attached.
**What You’ll Learn**
John will break down, in simple terms:
* Why most rental properties don’t produce much usable income early on
* Why buying more rentals isn’t always the answer
* How investors structure their properties to pay off mortgages in a fraction of the time
* How properties can work together to eliminate debt faster
* What changes once rentals become free and clear
This approach is often referred to as an accelerated paydown strategy — using rental income intentionally to reduce debt sooner, rather than waiting decades for mortgages to run their course.
John will also share a simple calculator you can use to see how this works with real numbers and realistic scenarios.
**The Core Idea**
When a rental has a mortgage, the rent has one job: **pay the bank.**
When a rental is paid off, the rent has a different job: **pay you.**
Most people only see one timeline…30 years.
This session shows how investors shorten that timeline and gradually increase their income as properties become free and clear.
**Who This Event Is For**
This event is for people who want more than just “owning rentals” on paper.
* Rental owners who are tired of most of the rent going to the bank and want a clearer path to real, usable income
* New investors who want to understand how rental properties actually build wealth over time before jumping in
* People with capital who want to invest in real estate with intention and a long-term plan
* Anyone serious about freedom and curious how rental properties transition from debt-heavy assets into income-producing ones
**Event Details**
**Location:** Ohio Brewing Company - 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201
**Date & Time:** January 25th, 6–8 PM (Doors open at 5:30)
