(Free only for forigners)Real Conversations&Friends: Meeting K-Chingu in Dajeon!
## **Stop Living the Typical Expat Life! Meet Real Local Friends at Culcom** ๐ปโจ(Free only for forigners)
Are you tired of the "Home โ Work โ Home" routine? Finding Korean friends who actually vibe with you in English isn't always easy. Thatโs why weโre here.
At **Culcom Daejeon**, weโre not about boring textbooks. Weโre about **real connections.** Since 2004, weโve been the go-to spot for expats and locals to hang out, share stories, and build a "second family" in Korea. ๐๐ค

* **Free Perks:** Enjoy **unlimited self-service beer**, snacks, and a super chill vibe. ๐บ๐ฅจ

* **Place:** 5F, 487, Daejong-ro, Jung-gu, Daejeon (Right in the heart of the city!)

3. **The Main Event (2 hours):** Meet a bunch of new Korean friends and chat away in English!
### **FAQ** ๐ฌ

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, weโll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. Weโll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. Weโll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, weโll demystify what AI agents actually are โ without hype or jargon. Weโll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
Weโll cover:
* What makes an AI โagentโ instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
