AI-Powered Data Analytics Innovation with Vectors, Graphs and Intent
Ready to scale your RAG, AI workloads, and search? Join us Thursday 5th March 2026 on AWS TLV Floor 28 for a content-packed session in collaboration with AWS about using OpenSearch for AI-Powered Data Analytics and modern search methods: Semantic Search, S3 Vectors and GraphRAG.
Please register here: https://aws-experience.com/emea/tel-aviv/event/0c9fcbcd-8629-4e99-b4b0-fbca41b978c4
\* How to go beyond Keyword Search with OpenSearch
\* Modernizing Retrieval with Semantic Search and Query Intent Understanding
\* Hybrid search and Agentic RAG
\* Knowledge Graphs, GraphRAG, and Neuro-Symbolic AI
\* Structured intelligence for GenAI
\* Amazon S3 Vectors for vector search at billion scale
Agenda:
**Beyond Keyword Search - Modernize Retrieval with Semantic Search and Beyond with OpenSearch,** Itamar Syn-Hershko, BigData Boutique
Explore how semantic search transforms information retrieval by understanding meaning and context rather than just matching keywords. Learn how OpenSearch's vector engine enables sub-second semantic search across billions of vectors combined with text-search, powering intelligent applications from recommendation engines to conversational search experiences. We'll also discuss sparse vs dense vector embeddings, using LLMs to derive and leverage query intent, and more.
**Unlocking Structured Intelligence for Generative AI with Knowledge Graphs, GraphRAG and Neuro-Symbolic AI,** Baruch Assif Osoveskiy, AWS
Discover how knowledge graphs enhance Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) by providing structured, interconnected information for more accurate and explainable AI responses. Learn how GraphRAG combines the power of graph databases with large language models to deliver contextually rich, grounded answers.
**OpenSearch + Amazon S3 Vectors - Cost-Optimized AI-Ready Storage,** Roi Gamliel, AWS
Learn how Amazon S3 Vectors introduces native vector support at cloud scale, reducing storage and query costs by up to 90% compared to traditional vector databases. Discover how to store billions of vectors with sub-second query performance while leveraging S3's industry-leading durability and scalability.

אומנות נודדת: בעלי המלאכה שהפכו את הנדודים לבית ספר.
אוהד כהן, סתת אבן שמתמחה בשחזור קתדרלות ונדד בעולם עד שהתקבל כשולייה לתכנית יוקרתית ללימוד סיתות באבן בקתדרלה קסנטן בגרמניה, ייצא איתנו למסע מהיר אל מסורת ה-Wanderjahre: השנים שבהן בעלי מלאכה צעירים נדדו ברגל ברחבי אירופה כדי לאסוף ידע, לחדד מיומנות ולהפוך לאומנים מומחים.
למבוגרים (15+).

Shut Up & Write!® at Beit Ariela
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.
When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
**A note about the format**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
How to Move on From the Past and Feel Happy
In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past.
The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories.
When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!
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 brought to you by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.
