We hope to see you there!* **\*\*Agreements & Terms of Service (Please read)\*\*** **Authentic Relating and Circling is not therapy**. People encounter states, emotions, beliefs, and sensations in themselves and others which can be difficult. We explore the unknown, the volatile, the ambiguous, as well as welcome emotions many deem as “negative” or “inappropriate” such as feelings of inadequacy, anger, sexuality, and joy. We refer to the willingness to feel difficult and uncomfortable truths as the “commitment to connection,” which of course includes a willingness to set appropriate boundaries, and speak a desire for space, distance, and non-contact. By attending our events you take responsibility for your level of participation, which might include choosing to leave. If all this sounds potentially overwhelming or destabilizing for you, if you have mental illness or significant emotional challenges that you feel may be exacerbated by this type of transformational environment, or if you are not sure that you can be self-directed in taking care of your needs during the event, then we advise you not to attend. We look forward to seeing you!

**Agentic AI Engineering Lab (Tech Event, Sprint #1)** **\- Build a Production\-Ready MCP Server** **Move from prompting to architecting** The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an emerging open standard for connecting AI apps/agents to real tools and data sources. This session is not a talk — it’s a hands-on lab where we build MCP servers that can be tested immediately with an MCP-capable client (e.g., Claude Desktop / your preferred agent setup). **The Format** We are planning a series of agentic ai tech meetings for deep building. This event may be attended alone or be seen as part / sprint of the event series with upcoming events building on top of what we build here. This is a high-density micro-meetup limited to 6 seats. We prioritize builders: bring your laptop, ship code, and be ready to 'build and break' alongside other devs and engineers. **Future Sessions building on top may focus on ...** RAG systems, advanced MCP features, A2A, multi-agent workflows, production deployment Patterns or whatever we feel nice to build next. (We run our sessions like an anthology series: **Every meetup is a standalone sprint.** While we often build on previous results, each session provides a complete experience and remains fully accessible to first-time attendees.) **What you'll build** After a quick alignment on the technical scope, the floor is yours: build your solution using the stack and tools that fit your workflow. We provide the framework; you provide the execution. By the end, you’ll have a working MCP server (Python or TypeScript) with at least one real tool/resource, tested end-to-end. **Ideas: Choose one track (or bring own idea if it fits the scope)** **For Beginners (Foundational)** * Personal knowledge server (local files/notes) * Weather / external API integration * GitHub issues helper **Intermediate** * SQLite query interface * Slack/Discord notification tool * CSV/Excel analyzer **Advanced** * Multi-API aggregator (e.g., calendar + weather + tasks) * Document processor (PDF/DOCX parsing) * Lightweight system monitoring/control **Schedule (Saturaday, 10:00 - 15:00 CET)** * **10:00–10:30 — Foundations + Live Demo** Quick run through general MCP architecture (hosts/clients/servers), core primitives (tools/resources/prompts), basic patterns in order to get everybody on the same page. * **10:30–11:00 — Environment Sync** We wanna make sure everyone can run a “Hello World” MCP server (Python or TypeScript). * **11:00–12:45 — Build Sprint (Lab Time)** Implement your server + first tool/resource. Pair-debugging encouraged. * **12:45–13:00 — Break (Pizza/Snacks)** * **13:00–13:30 — Test & Iterate** Use MCP Inspector / your client to test, fix edge cases, tighten tool contracts. * **13:30–15:00 — Demos + Technical Teardown** Quick demos, what broke, what worked, and what we’ll harden in the next sprint. **Prerequisites (Please Read)** * You’re comfortable shipping small things in your preferred dev language and tools (e.g. Python, TypeScript/Node.js). * **Bring your laptop** + basic dev setup (Git, package manager). * Have access to an LLM client / API (Claude/OpenAI/etc.). * This is a lab for engineers, not a tutorial. We solve architectural problems together, but you are the master of your own dev environment. * **Mindset:** Build, Break & Iterate — broken code is welcome, passivity isn’t. **Logistics** * **Location:** Our private boardroom in the Grunewald area (near Martin-Luther Hospital). The exact address will be shared after RSVP. * **Capacity:** 6 seats (first come, first served; deposit required) **Commitment Deposit and No-Show / Late-Show** This meetup is strictly non-profit. To respect everyone’s time and ensure all 6 seats are utilized by committed builders, a €15 deposit is required. * **The Deal:** The deposit covers high-quality pizza, snacks, and drinks. Any surplus will be refunded to you via your original payment method after the event. * **Punctuality is Key:** We start at **10:00 sharp** with the technical foundations (door open from 09:45). To protect the group’s focus, late arrivals or no-shows will not be eligible for a refund. Their deposit will be fully contributed to the community's pizza & snack fund. * **Cancellations:** No refunds for cancellations within 24 hours of the start time.

Bringt gute Laune, schönes Wetter und Interesse mit. Wir treffen uns je nach Tour an unterschiedlichen Orten. Am 1. April 2018 um 15 Uhr gehts los am Eingang zur Akademie der Künste am Pariser Platz neben dem Brandenburger Tor.

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Investors move fast. Most agents don’t.** If you can’t evaluate a deal quickly and confidently, you lose credibility—and the opportunity disappears. Deal or Disaster teaches a simple, repeatable framework to determine in minutes whether a deal prints money or burns it. In this session, you’ll learn a 5-minute investment evaluation system that works across flips, rentals, BRRRRs, wholetails, and creative deals. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s speed, clarity, and credibility. We’ll break down: * How to identify the investor’s true goal before running numbers * A fast, reliable method to estimate ARV with confidence * How to calculate the real all-in acquisition cost * Simple heuristics to ballpark rehab and improvement costs * The key metrics that reveal whether a deal works—or should be killed You’ll also learn the most common red flags that signal bad deals, thin margins, and hidden risk, so you know when to pause or walk away. When you can analyze deals in minutes, you earn authority, build trust, and become indispensable to investors. Speed creates opportunity—and opportunity creates repeat business. If you want to move from real estate generalist to trusted investment strategist, this session gives you the framework to do it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Did you miss it?** [Watch all GRID Reston event playback on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTh5kxLLJI1G3VH6Pqhlhu0uTA8yrdpi) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Join the GRID Facebook Community** [Join the online GRID community here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gridinvestor) to post deals, ask questions, and connect with other investors across the globe.
