**Outlaws of the Greenwood** You had a life. A livelihood. A family. A home. It was taken from you. Now you are an outlaw. From your woodland lair you rob, raid and outwit those who cast you out. Every return to the forest feels like stealing one more season of freedom. "Outlaws of the Greenwood" is an adventure sandbox set in a northern England-inspired region during the Middle Ages, using a modified version of the *Wolves Upon the Coast* system. **The Wildsea: Dead Men Tell no Tales** You are a tight-knit band of sailors on the Wildsea, an ocean made of overgrown forest after trees took over the earth. Your ship is a chain-saw propelled vessel that sails across the treetops as you voyage from port to port, avoiding dangers from the absurd to the mundane. A trading settlement has been plagued with strange visions and mysterious illnesses after a salvaging job gone wrong. They dredged something down from the deep that should have stayed buried, and now everyone has to pay the price WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

Stop accepting things just because they've always been that way. This is the moment to disrupt old biases, step into paces where we weren't expected, and rewrite the rules of who gets to shape technology's future. Please refer to the [event website for full agenda and timetable](https://wtmhk.org/iwd26/main). **Speaker Sessions** **Connie Leung** Software ArchitecZ; Google Developer Expert (Angular, AI, Web) Connie Leung is a Software Architect and Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Angular, AI, and Web technologies. With a core technical stack featuring Angular and NestJS, Connie is deeply passionate about the intersection of cloud architecture and Generative AI. As a dedicated content creator, she shares her expertise through her blog and YouTube channel (@connie.webdev), where she has recently focused on building and scaling AI-driven applications using \*Gemini\* and \*Firebase\*.

I discovered the answer when my own YouTube project failed the Google Decision Tree, proving I was using a helicopter to cross the street. To solve this, I built an Agent Architect squad using the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for TypeScript, moving from fragile prompts to a structured Intelligent Assembly Line. This talk explores how a squad of agents evaluates your ideas through four key patterns: a loop for self-correcting discovery, a smooth handoff between specialized agents, a logic check to catch bad ideas early and save money, and a final report for strategic advice. We will examine the visual flows and reasoning required to build a system that thinks for itself, ensuring your AI projects are truly agent-shaped and cost-effective. ————————————————————— **Jeannie Lam 林靜莉（"莉莉菇"）** 電視主持、電台DJ、活動司儀及KOL Jeannie最初於網上媒體 unwire.hk 擔任記者，開始接觸內容製作及幕前演出。後得恩師邀請，從此展開幕前之路。 現時我身兼多重身份，穿梭於傳統媒體同數碼平台之間，持續探索內容創作及表演的更多可能性。 **Topic: 從網媒記者到電視主持：如何用網上影響力打開幕前之門** Jeannie 會分享如何透過網上媒體記者的身份，結合網上平台影響力，逐步獲得電視台、電台及活動司儀的演出機會。從幕後走到幕前，除了專業知識，網絡上的個人品牌同樣是關鍵。 ————————————————————— **ChuChu Carmen** YouTube自媒體創作及教育者 (超班教室Super Class創辦人) My YouTube Channel: "Chuchu豬 TV" (@chuchuchutv) 累積超過100+間品牌企業/ 學校合作邀請, 提供YouTube/ 影片製作及AI自媒體等教學培訓及商業合作宣傳 頻道影片累積超過10000+個好評及讚好, 累積收看次數超過100萬次, 深受各觀眾及學員喜愛 超過500+學員, 從IP流量 -> 變現, 打造YouTube自媒體一人網絡事業 **Topic: 從打工仔到YouTube自媒體導師：AI時代打造個人IP的致富密碼** ————————————————————— **Bonnie Cheung** Chief Curiosity Officer 首席探索者, Yolo 街 YouTube channel Bonnie is an investment and technology professional with over 20 years of experience across the US and Asia. She is the creator of YOLO 街, a YouTube channel that was recognized as one of the Top Trending Channels in 2025 for Hong Kong. The channel provides information on new technologies to the Cantonese-speaking population. Her career began in the US, where she led large-scale digital transformations for Fortune 500 companies at Deloitte and IBM, including AT&T, HP, and T-Mobile. She later transitioned into finance, earning her CFA charter and working as an investment associate in Private Equity before moving into industry operations. As Head of Strategic Planning for the Zuellig Group, a $12 billion healthcare distributor, she managed technology adoption and innovation across 13 countries. In venture capital, Bonnie was a Venture Partner at 500 Startups, where she established the firm’s first blockchain-focused accelerator track. Her early-stage investments included Solana, which has reached a market valuation of $44 billion. She has since moved between building and investing, serving as Chief of Strategy for the Web3 startup and as an Operations Partner at Race Capital, supporting founders in the AI and data infrastructure sectors. Bonnie holds a double major in Engineering and Economics from Dartmouth College. An avid traveler, she has visited over 50 countries, from trekking the Sahara to navigating Patagonia, and wondering through the streets of Pompeii. Bonnie 是一位擁有超過 20 年跨越美亞兩地經驗的投資與科技專家。她是 YouTube 頻道「YOLO 街」的創辦人，該頻道更榮獲 2025 年度香港 YouTube「十大熱門創作者」之一。頻道致力於為廣東話社群打破語言隔閡，解構及分享全球最尖端的科技資訊。 Bonnie 的職業生涯始於美國，曾在 Deloitte 及 IBM 帶領多項大型數位轉型項目，服務對象包括 AT&T、HP 及 T-Mobile 等財富 500 強企業。其後她轉戰金融界，取得 CFA 特許資格並於私募股權投資 (Private Equity) 擔任投資經理，隨後投身產業營運。她曾出任年營收達 120 億美元的醫療保健分銷商 Zuellig Group 的亞太區戰略規劃主管，負責推動旗下 13 個國家的科技應用與創新。 在風險投資領域，Bonnie 曾擔任 500 Startups 的創業合伙人，並創辦了該機構首個以區塊鏈為主題的加速器項目。她早期的投資項目包括 Solana，該項目的市值目前已達 440 億美元。此後，她持續穿梭於「初創實戰」與「風險投資」之間，曾出任 Web3 初創公司的首席戰略官，並於 Race Capital 擔任營運合伙人，支援 AI 及數據基礎設施領域的創業者。 Bonnie 畢業於Dartmouth College，擁有工程學與經濟學雙學位。她熱愛深度旅遊，足跡遍及全球 50 多個國家，當中包括遠征撒哈拉沙漠、探索巴塔哥尼亞高原以及漫步龐貝古城。 **Topic: The Great Equalizer: Breaking Career and Generational Patterns with AI** **AI — 終極平等化工具：打破職涯與世代的既定慣性** For a long time, we have been told that our career "patterns" are set by our early training. If you didn’t study film, you couldn't be a film creator. If you didn't study engineering, you couldn't be a technologist. We were trapped by the "skill gap." In this talk, Bonnie challenges this rigid structure by sharing her personal pattern break. Despite a 20-year career in venture capital and engineering, Bonnie had zero video production/ media skills. Yet, using AI as her "production crew," she built YOLO 街, which became a 2025 Top Trending YouTube channel in Hong Kong. In the age of AI, prior “learned skills” are no longer the bottleneck. If you have the curiosity, AI provides the technical execution, allowing for radical career pivots in both directions. This isn't just about making videos—it’s about a fundamental shift in how we acquire power in the workforce. She will demonstrate how AI acts as a "Capability Equalizer" that works in both directions: In the AI era, your curiosity is your only real limit. If a venture capitalist can become a top creator with no prior skills, then the reverse is also true: the tools to become a technologist or a strategist are now in everyone's hands. 長期以來，社會一直告訴我們：你的職業「慣性」是由早年的訓練決定的。如果你沒讀過電影，你就無法成為創作人；如果你沒讀過工程，你就無法成為科技專家。我們一直被「技能鴻溝」所困。 在這次演講中，Bonnie 將透過分享她個人的「慣性突破」來挑戰這種僵化的結構。儘管在風險投資和工程領域擁有 20 年的經驗，Bonnie 在影片製作和媒體創作方面卻是零經驗、零技能。然而，憑藉 AI 作為她的「製作團隊」，她創立了「YOLO 街」，並在 2025 年成為香港 YouTube 的「十大熱門創作者」之一。 在 AI 時代，過去所謂的「學習技能」已不再是瓶頸。只要你擁有好奇心，AI 就能為你提供技術執行力，讓你實現雙向的職涯大轉型。 這不僅僅是關於拍片，更是一場關於我們如何在職場中獲得「能力」的根本性變革。Bonnie 將展示 AI 如何扮演「能力平等化工具」(Capability Equalizer) 的雙向角色. 在 AI 時代，好奇心是你唯一的限制。如果一個風投專家可以在零技能的情況下成為頂尖創作者，那麼反之亦然——成為科技專家或策略家的工具，現在已掌握在每個人手中。 ————————————————————— **Dr. Pui Wah Choi** Founder & CEO, WomenX Biotech Dr. Pui-Wah Choi is a pioneering scientist and entrepreneur dedicated to transforming women’s health through innovative biotechnology. After completing her postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, she founded WomenX Biotech Limited in Hong Kong, focusing on groundbreaking health solutions tailored specifically for women. WomenX aims to revolutionize disease screening with PadX-HPV, a sanitary pad that detects HPV—the primary cause of cervical cancer—from menstrual blood. This non-invasive technology seeks to increase HPV screening rates across Asia from a mere 30% to an ambitious 80%, addressing cultural barriers and busy schedules that often hinder women's access to essential health services. The potential of WomenX’s pads extends beyond HPV detection; they are also designed to monitor reproductive health, fertility, and microbiome status, offering a holistic approach to women’s health management. This innovation empowers women to better understand their bodies and make informed health decisions. In January 2025, WomenX introduced PadX-HPV, the first non-invasive product in Hong Kong to detect HPV types linked to cervical cancer directly from menstrual blood through a sanitary pad. With an accuracy rate of 99.2%, PadX has been in high demand since its launch, selling out multiple times. In addition to her emphasis on technological progress, Dr. Choi is deeply committed to creating social impact and empowering women. This year, she will install 100 vending machines for sanitary pads throughout Hong Kong, placing them in schools, shopping malls, and NGOs. On one hand, this initiative fosters a more gender-friendly environment; on the other, the machines will also provide educational materials on menstrual health, menstrual shame, and first menstruation management. More importantly, the sanitary pad vending machine project will create thousands of job opportunities for low-income and single mothers, allowing them to regain economic participation without sacrificing caregiving responsibilities. Dr Choi was selected as the Prestige Women or Power 2025, Jessica Most successful women, Tatler Front & Female and Foundess 2025. Additionally, WomenX Biotech won the Slingshot competition in the biomed domain (under Singapore Enterprise), achieving the 0.17% tier, as well as the Standard Chartered SC WIN competition and multiple international innovation championships. **Topic: The Ripple Effect: One Woman's Journey to Empower Thousands** ————————————————————— **YeeLing Ng** Consultant, Acument An IT Consultant at Acument Group with a unique background in both engineering and education. As a certified CBAP and PSPO, she combines rigorous problem-solving with a passion for people. Her journey from a young mathlete to a Hong Kong University engineering graduate fuels her mission to empower diverse talent in technology. **Topic: 《打破框架：馬來西亞女孩在香港科技圈的蛻變》** Challenging the stereotype of who belongs in tech. The speaker traces her own path from a school mathlete to an IT Consultant, demonstrating how curiosity transformed her from a pure engineer into a people-focused problem solver. This presentation is a call for all, regardless of gender or age, to break self-imposed limits and adapt, proving that the tech world needs diverse minds to thrive.

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.

This is the First Friday of the month and a CABS Meeting. it is our 29th year Birthday month of meeting in public places. Check out on Facebook and [www.cabsgames.org](www.cabsgames.org)

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
