**The most enjoyable dance friending event on a Friday night 🌤️💃✨** This is an OPEN-AIR event! We are dancing outdoors on a soft athletic surface. Restrooms and changing areas are available at a small restaurant nearby. 🚻 The night starts at 7:00 PM with chill music, socializing, and basic footwork. If you want to level up your dancing, be there at 7! Later, we flow into casual dancing, mixing European classics (Waltz, Polka) with modern Balfolk and chill Latin vibes (Forró). ✅ **No experience needed** → Come at 7 PM to learn the basics! 👣 ✅ **No partner needed** → We rotate! Feel free to ask anyone taking a break. 👋 ✅ **No dress code** → Wear comfy sneakers or go completely barefoot. 👟 ✅ **No pressure** → As long as you can sway to the rhythm, you belong! 🌟 ✅ **Free entry** → If you love the vibe, hit us with a 5-star review 🌟 or leave a voluntary tip via QR code (suggested 200 CZK). If you love to move and want to make new friends, simply show up on Friday and let’s dance!! 💃🔥 *Tančírna (pronounced tahn-cheer-nah) comes from the Czech word "tančit" (to dance) and literally means "a place for dancing".* **Pro-tip:** Pack a water bottle to stay hydrated 💧 and a hoodie for when the sun goes down! Ordering drinks/food at the local restaurant is possible, but it breaks the flow, so we usually do it after we wrap up. 💃🔥

Some people go to pubs. Some people conquer galaxies, build empires, trade spices, or outsmart dragons. Nerdy Fridays are our open board game nights for anyone who prefers strategy over small talk and dice over disco lights. Come solo or bring your crew. We’ll help you find a table, explain the rules, and match you with a game that fits your vibe. From light party games to deep strategic battles, the shelves are open. Entry fee: 50 CZK if you drink something, 100 CZK if not (includes access to games and rule explanation) Friday nights don’t have to be loud. They can be legendary. 🎲✨

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.
