Building Momentum: From Ambiguity to Execution
**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.**

You’ll walk away with insights on how to:

* Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments
Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward.

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
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.

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Surrey Personality Matched Speed Dating Zoom
**🪷 Speed Dating Live on Zoom for Singles near Surrey**
You get to cycle through rapid one-on-one Zoom dates with Surrey singles matched by age and personality, while the host manages transitions so you can focus on the person in front of you.
As part of the process, a two-minute quiz captures your personality — those details are used to identify compatible Surrey singles for your rounds, so the format works harder than any dating app.
Once it is wrapped up, we send mutual match results — with nothing shared unless both parties agreed — and you are in control of what happens next.
**Your age group, your link:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Surrey&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0)

**⚠️ Required step:** This rsvp does not equal a reserved seat, so select your age range link above, fill in the registration, and answer the personality quiz — capacity is intentionally small so get in early, and your place is confirmed only once you have done both.
---
**Your evening, step by step**
1. **Claim your spot** – by tapping the link for your age group, then finish the compatibility quiz, as the quiz plus registration is what counts.
2. **Jump on Zoom** – by clicking the Zoom link at the event start time, zero setup is required — just open the link, and once you are in the host handles the rest entirely.
3. **Have your dates** – short one-on-one rounds with personality-matched Surrey locals in your group, as the host signals each transition calmly and clearly, and the people in your rounds were sorted specifically for you.
4. **Find your matches** – mutual matches are sent to you privately after the event ends, since non-mutual choices are never shared with either party, and once you have it you decide how and when to connect.
**Who shows up:**
- Members from Surrey bored of dating apps that go nowhere and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- First-timers from around Surrey looking beyond the app treadmill that goes in circles and are serious about meeting someone.
- Individuals across Surrey getting away from apps that waste evenings for no return and want to meet real locals without the faff.
- Residents from around Surrey looking beyond swiping with nothing to show for it and prefer meeting people in person first.
- Locals calling Surrey home getting away from dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression.
**About the Event**
- **Format:** Dedicated and hosted via Zoom with back-to-back private rounds per pair, sorted by personality quiz and age for every round.
- **Where:** At-home — on any internet-connected device, no special equipment — just a device with a camera and internet, and couch desk or spare room are all equally valid spots.
- **Host:** A supportive host guides every round from start to finish, so the evening runs without a hitch — not a single logistical thing is left for you to manage.
- **Vibe:** Comfortable video rounds with Surrey singles who are here for the same reason you are, and the host keeps everything comfortable throughout.
- **Duration:** Usually sixty to ninety minutes from round one onwards, though times can vary slightly.
⭐ *"Better than expected — way better than anything I have tried before"* – Surrey local, first event
💡 **Worth knowing:** put your phone on silent before joining, and the host takes care of everything else from there, since small prep leads to a noticeably better experience.

✨ Done with apps — start here — grab your place above before it goes and we sort the rest this time. See you in the first round. 💕 ✨
Richmond Age Matched Speed Dating Zoom
**🌟 One-on-One Speed Dating Online for Richmond Singles on Zoom**
Each evening, you'll experience brief timed Zoom sessions with age-matched personality-sorted Richmond locals, as a friendly host guides every transition.
As you finalise your spot, you complete a brief compatibility form — we use those answers to put the right Richmond singles in front of you, so every round is informed by more than just looks.
Once it is wrapped up, mutual connections are confirmed and shared — contact details flow only on mutual selection — and from there you take it forward at your own pace.
**Pick your age group and register:**
- **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=537.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=Richmond&groupurlname=the-collective-for-intentional-social-growth&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0)

**⚠️ Two steps needed:** Clicking rsvp here is not the same as registering, so register through the age group link, complete the form, and take the two-minute personality quiz — spots fill quickly so do not leave it too long, and the quiz plus registration together hold your place.
---
**What to do**
1. **Book your spot** – via your age group registration link, then answer the personality questions, as without this your RSVP holds nothing.
2. **Open the call** – at the event start time via your Zoom link, works anywhere with a camera and internet, and round management is all on the host from there.
3. **Connect** – timed one-on-one speed dates with compatible Richmond singles in your bracket, while the host runs the clock so you can focus on the conversation, as the quiz results already did the work of choosing who you meet.
4. **Check your results** – we reveal mutual matches once the session ends, with contact info only shared when both of you said yes, and you reach out whenever you feel ready.
**Best suited to:**
- Those throughout Richmond bored of shallow connections that never lead anywhere and want to try something that actually works.
- Someone from Richmond moving beyond matches that ghost after two messages and want real chemistry over profile photos.
- Professionals throughout Richmond done with matches that fade out before meeting and need a better way to meet people.
- Locals from Richmond who are tired of dating apps that go nowhere and are ready for a genuine first impression.
- Anyone at all who live in Richmond who are tired of profiles instead of real people and want to try something that actually works.
💡 **Setup tip:** run a quick Zoom test the day before, because background and lighting matter more than you would think, as the host manages the rest and all you need is working tech.
