​​*A 'Humans in the Loop' community event with Elastic, Uptime Labs & PagerDuty in collaboration with OOPS!* ​​We’re taking over the Greenwich Design District for an evening dedicated to the unsung heroes of the stack: **The Humans in the Loop.** AI adoption offers a range of benefits, but while our systems get more complex, the role of the human in incident response has never been more critical. ​Come trade your real-time operations stories, share your best 'oops' moments, and learn how to keep the 'human' in your high-availability architecture. 📅 **Date and Time:** Monday, June 1, from 6:00-9:00 PM The event starts at 6pm, but there will be space to hang out if you arrive a little earlier. 📍 **Location:** Design District Address: 19 Soames Walk, London SE10 0AX, UK **📌 Arrival instructions:** Once you arrive, please head to the reception of Building D1, where there'll be someone waiting to greet you for OOPS (which will take place in the Forum Room, 2nd floor). ​​**What to expect:** * ​​🎤 **Lightning Keynotes** \- short\, sharp and stimulating\, local experts share their takes\. * ​​🍻 **Sip & Savour:** Delicious pizza and refreshing drinks to fuel the conversation. * ​​🤝 **The OOPs Group:** Connect with the outage ops + incident response community, because misery loves company, but resilience loves a party. ​🧠 **Talks** **Many Humans in Many Loops** by **Carly Richmond**, Developer Advocate Lead (Elastic) *Human in the Loop, or HITL, provides us the ability to validate AI output using friendly and knowledgeable humans. But is that the only human loop in AI incident management systems? Join Carly as she covers other human loops, including reinforcement learning with feedback and context engineering, and how loops with a low threshold encourage alert fatigue.* **Incident Response Reimagined: Accelerating Resolution with AI Agents** by **Daniel Afonso**, Senior Developer Advocate (PagerDuty) *Learn how PagerDuty is leveraging Agentic AI to transform the incident lifecycle from reactive firefighting to proactive prevention.* *Daniel demonstrates how new tools like the SRE Agent and Scribe Agent assist engineers during high-pressure outages by autonomously triaging alerts, querying logs in tools like Grafana, and transcribing context directly into incident channels.* *Beyond immediate response, this demo highlights a "shift left" strategy using the new PagerDuty MCP server and Claude Code plugin, which allows developers to assess the risk of code changes against historical incident data before deployment, ultimately aiming to reduce the frequency of on-call.* ✍️ ​​**RSVP now before we reach capacity**

For Anyone who has experienced stress, tension, or trauma can benefit from TRE®. It's especially helpful for individuals dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, physical tension, or past trauma. TRE® is also widely used by healthcare professionals, first responders, athletes, and individuals in high-stress environments. We have a TRE Expert: Jonathan to teach this class. **What is TRE**
 TRE stands for tension releasing exercises. A set of simple exercises to help all people reduce stress and tension from their bodies and heal from challenging events in their lives. Through a series of seven warm up exercises that mildly stretch and fatigue the leg muscles, it activates the innate tremor mechanism of the body. When activated, the tremor mechanism makes the body shake gently and involuntary, helping us to literally ‘shake-off’ and release built up muscle tension in a safe and gentle way. The tremor mechanism has been used for 1000s of years of human history and is a psycho-physiological feature of all mammals. Have you seen a dog or cat shaking after hearing fireworks? Have you felt yourself shaking after a challenging event or lifting a heavy weight. This is your bodies way of regulating itself and bringing it back down to a healthy, relaxed, normal state of being. In TRE we create the shake in a calm and measured way and let the body tremble gently so a life-time of built up tension and stress can start to unwind itself and your authentic self, buried under years of conditioning, starts to shine through. Many people who practice TRE report results after three months of lower stress, lower anxiety levels, better sleep, reduced tension in their body and backs and generally feeling more present and connected to the world. Long term results include enabling people to connect more authentically with themselves and others, feeling more purposeful, improved relationships with loved ones and a renewed sense of their enjoyment of life. **About Jonathan Burton** Jonathan has been involved in the healing arts for over 20 years practicing various disciplines including yoga, meditation, tai-chi and Qigong. After serendipitously finding a TRE class in Thailand, it proved the catalyst for radical change, growth and a new purposeful direction in life. Using TRE as a platform to dive into much needed trauma work, Jonathan faced his worst fears and found light at the end of the dark tunnel. His passion is to share the gift of trauma healing to help others in their own journey to health, happiness and joy. A coach, men’s group facilitator and body worker and retreat's holder, Jonathan loves to share his gifts to support other people in finding their best selves to co-create the brilliant, loving World we all want to live in. **Location** Self Retreat Camden **Schedule** 12:00pm - 12:15pm - Welcomes and Prepare for Session (We will close the doors at 12:15pm) 12:15pm - 1:45pm - TRE Class 1:45pm - 2:00pm - Final Questions 2:00pm - After Social / Lunch /Tea or Coffee local **Total Cost** We are offering this session for £25 Only and you can get your spot below: https://buy.stripe.com/8x228qgNmdg88J5bV84ZG3R This is limited to 20 spots Only so best to make payment as soon as you can Any other questions let us know

You're invited to our next Women in Product London event! As product managers grow in their careers, one skill becomes increasingly important: **strategy**. For this event, we’re bringing together product leaders from a range of industries and company stages to share how they approach product vision and strategy in practice: what it really means to be strategic, how you develop strategic thinking over time, and why it often becomes the defining skill that separates good PMs from great product leaders. Some of the topics will include how to develop stronger strategic thinking as you progress in your career, how to influence organisations through vision and direction, and real-world examples of turning high-level strategy into meaningful product outcomes. The evening will give you the opportunity to network with your peers over drinks and canapés before and after our speakers take the stage. Join us for a mix of insightful presentations where you'll take away practical insights from experienced product leaders and have the chance to ask questions throughout the event. **\-\-\-\-MEET THE SPEAKERS** **\>\> Pooja Naidu – Exec Coach/Advisor \(former VP of Product @ Mews\)** *With over 19 years experience in Product she has worked in Sportstech, Retail, Hospitality, Media, Publishing, E-commerce and Banking.

In this event, we will discuss about a science or philosophy book chosen by London Science and Philosophy Book Club. The attendees will be divided into groups and each of them will focus on a chapter in the book. This month we will discuss about a fascinating book called The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. If you haven't read the book, it's no problem. I will bring you up to speed with the discussion materials. We will meet in a nice lounge area at 6 p.m for introductions. Please come on time so you will not miss out on valuable discussion midway. If you end up in the waitlist, feel free to show up. Book Description: Doing well with money isn't necessarily about what you know. It's about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people. Money – investing, personal finance, and business decisions – is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don't make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life's most important topics. Agenda: 6 p.m to 6:30 p.m: Introduction and Socializing 6:30 p.m to 9:30 p.m: Book Discussion 9:30 p.m to late night: Drinks, Dinner or Feel free to go home

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal. And right now, funding is where more investors are getting stuck. Private lenders are more cautious. Partners are asking better questions. And deals that look good on paper still fall apart when the money doesn’t show up. That’s why we’re bringing in a panel of investors who are actually getting their deals funded right now. You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants? How Community Shelter Board Can Help** Nicholas Brenner will walk you through programs designed to help rapidly rehouse tenants, including financial support that can stabilize your rentals. **The Deal Room (7:00–7:30 PM Eastern)** Bring deals, funding needs, buyers, and problems. This is where connections turn into action.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
