A 6-hour, hands-on meetup: build a working AI-integrated frontend app, then dive into how AI is reshaping day-to-day team communication and leadership. Join GDG Yerevan for a practical, builder-focused event with two parts: Workshop: create a frontend application integrated with AI (Angular + Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)). Talk: how AI affects daily work communication—and how Mid+ engineers can help teams stay aligned instead of “losing the thread.” What we’ll do Part 1 — Workshop (11:00–14:30) Armen Vardanyan opens with a short intro, then we build together: a frontend app that integrates AI using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) + Angular. Part 2 — Talk (15:00–16:00) Inesa Toroyan — “Leading with Emotional Intelligence” Let’s talk about what it really means to lead in a world where AI is part of everyday decision-making. This session explores how emotional intelligence helps engineers use AI thoughtfully while strengthening judgment, communication, and trust. We’ll discuss the role of senior engineers and the team dynamics in the era of AI. Part 3 — Networking (16:00–17:00) Meet people, exchange ideas, and connect with the community. 🍕 Pizza will be available during the event (no dedicated pizza break—grab a slice whenever it fits your flow). Who should attend Frontend / Full-stack engineers and students who want hands-on experience integrating AI into real apps. Anyone curious about team workflows and communication changes caused by AI tools. Recommended knowledge (not mandatory, but encouraged) JavaScript fundamentals + familiarity with at least one framework/library Beginner AI basics help (prompts, tokens, temperature, and a general idea of agent/tooling concepts like MCP) Agenda (Feb 21, Yerevan local time) 10:00 — Doors open 11:00 — Opening & workshop kickoff 11:00–14:30 — Workshop: AI-integrated frontend app (Angular + Google Agent Development Kit (ADK)) 14:30–15:00 — Break 15:00–16:00 — Talk: Leading with Emotional Intelligence (40–60 min) 16:00–17:00 — Networking 17:00 — Event ends Speakers Armen Vardanyan — Front End Team Lead at VOLO LLC, Google Developer Expert for Angular, host of Angular Space TV channel, author of Modern Angular.

5:45-7:45 in Conference Room B, Library lower level. Bring your yarn projects, meet new friends. If you plan to attend, please RSVP yes. If you can’t attend, please change your RSVP to no. This helps anyone who is waitlisted and it allows me to have an accurate count of attendees as our space is quite limited. Plenty of parking in the lot, in the overflow lot across the street, and on the street. See you there! Winter Note: If the weather is bad and I have to cancel the Meetup, i will issue the cancellation not later than 3 p.m. of that day.

Join us for The Fisherman by John Langan. In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story. Soon, though, the men find themselves drawn into a tale as deep and old as the Reservoir. It's a tale of dark pacts, of long-buried secrets, and of a mysterious figure known as Der Fisher: the Fisherman. It will bring Abe and Dan face to face with all that they have lost, and with the price they must pay to regain it.
