Karaoke fun meet up👨‍🎤👩‍🎤 — Every Monday in Pagrati 🔥
Karaoke fun meet up👨‍🎤👩‍🎤 — Every Monday in Pagrati 🔥
Jump in our whtsapp group,introduce yourself, start connect,put your ideas and lets hangout and make friends Mondays Are Boring. We’re Fixing That. 🎤🔥 Most people hide from Mondays. We grab a mic and make noise. This Monday, Ziggy Bar (Pagrati) turns into a full-on karaoke playground—laughs, bad singing, great singing, surprise duets, and the kind of energy that makes you forget it’s a weekday. No pressure. No judgment. Just good people, loud moments, and a very unserious approach to Monday. What’s Actually Going Down You pick a song. You sing it your way. You get cheered like a star—no matter how it goes. Pop, throwbacks, guilty pleasures, power ballads, chaotic duets—everything is welcome. Sing solo. Drag a friend on stage. Sing one line and disappear. Or don’t sing at all and just enjoy the show. Every song becomes a moment. Every moment turns into a memory. The Vibe 🔥 High-energy, friendly, zero-awkwardness 😂 Lots of laughs, spontaneous applause, unexpected talent 🎶 Music that keeps the mood up between songs 🌿 Covered, cozy outdoor seating—warm, relaxed, easy to move around 🍕 Pizza & snacks to keep you going It feels like a house party… Just with better sound and new people. Who You’ll Meet Locals who want fun without the weekend chaos. Travelers who accidentally found the best Monday in Athens. Friends of friends. Future karaoke legends. Come alone—leave knowing people. Come with friends—leave with stories. I’ll be there all night 🎤 Hosting, hyping, connecting, and making sure no one feels left out. Event Details 📅 Every Monday 🕣 20:30 – 00:00 📍 Ziggy Bar, pagrati 📍 https://maps.app.goo.gl/ofSCZ15wnRD78Keb7 🎟 Entry: FREE Just say you’re part of the community 🤍 Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Because singing on a Monday feels illegal (in a good way) Because karaoke instantly breaks the ice Because laughing beats scrolling at home Because this kind of night doesn’t happen by accident Because Mondays deserve better Final Truth Most people skip Mondays. We turn them into a party. Come for “just one drink” 🍸 Sing “just one song” 🎤 Leave smiling, louder, and way more alive than you planned 🤍 🔥 Ziggy Monday Karaoke Night — Monday, But Make It Fun Mamad – The organiser of Athens locals&Travellers events whatsapp: +30 694 952 8622 Follow us on instagram And make us grow Thanks in advance https://www.instagram.com/athenslocalstravellers?igsh=MWM4MTh4c2p5M3NxdA== #Athens #AthensKaraoke #KaraokeInAthens #KaraokeNight #MondayKaraoke #MondayVibes #AthensNightlife #ThingsToDoInAthens #SocialMeetup #OpenMeetup #PartyNight #FunInAthens #LocalsAndTravelers #ExpatsInAthens #DigitalNomadsAthens #InternationalCommunity #MakeNewFriends #SingInAthens #LiveYourMonday #ZiggyBar #AthensEvents #OutdoorEvent #ChillVibes #CommunityNight #Αθήνα #ΚαραόκεΑθήνα #ΒραδιάΚαραόκε #ΔιασκέδασηΣτηνΑθήνα #ΝυχτερινήΖωή #ΚοινωνικήΣυνάντηση #ΚάνεΝέουςΦίλους #ΔιεθνήςΚοινότητα

A Developer's Guide in the AI Assistants Era
A Developer's Guide in the AI Assistants Era
Buzzword or not, AI in everyday development cannot be avoided. There is a vast and complicated tooling ecosystem that often makes it more confusing than it should be. We are very happy to host [Dimitrios Papageorgiou](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitriospapageorgiou/) , **Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS)**, who will give practical tips for the Java developer in the AI assistants era. **📍Location** * Michalakopoulou 80 street, XM * Attendees should say they are there for the Java Athens meetup. **📆 Date & Time** * 4th of February 2026, 19:00 **🗒️ Agenda** * **19:00** \- Intro\, Agenda * **19:05** \- A message from our sponsor \- XM * **19:20** \- "**A Developer's guide in the AI assistants era**" by Dimitrios Papageorgiou * **20:00 -** Q&A Session * **20:15** \- Pizza 🍕 time **Main Talk**: **A Developer's Guide in the AI Assistants Era** Despite the promise of agentic AI, most development teams struggle with adoption due to concerns about code quality and lack of clear implementation paths. Developers worry about hallucinations, incorrect suggestions, and whether AI-generated code meets production standards—concerns that often lead to resistance and superficial proof-of-concepts that fail to deliver value. Furthermore, teams from individual contributors to leadership roles, facing the same common issues: lack of time, pressure to ship to production, fear of the unknown, and reluctance to move from comfort zones. Drawing from my experience as software engineer and from hands-on experience implementing agentic AI tools across multiple customer PoCs, I have worked on a path that addresses these concerns. Whether you're a developer exploring AI tools or a team lead evaluating their potential, you'll leave with a practical roadmap for implementation, strategies to handle team resistance, and realistic expectations for what these tools can accomplish in your daily workflow

Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
Azure CBUS February: Build Your Own MCP Server
### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

Discount Tuesday: GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE at Marcus Crosswoods!
Join us for a CMG Discount Tuesday event to see the hilarious, action-packed and absolutely-bonkers-looking sci-fi-action-comedy, GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE! The film follows a man from the future who recruits diners at an LA restaurant to help combat rogue AI. Here’s a description, trailer and our plan for this event: GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE: A man from the future arrives at a diner in Los Angeles where he must recruit the precise combination of disgruntled patrons to join him on a one-night quest to save the world from the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence. The film is directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean series) and stars Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, Tom Taylor, and Juno Temple. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkFW7BZyqkI EARLY BUZZ AND REVIEWS: Early reviews have been stellar with the film earning a 94% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes! “It offers laughs, thrills, and it’s a thinker; you will not be disappointed.” It’s a “laugh-filled yet incredibly dark and poignant fever dream that pleads for a safer AI tomorrow” and director Gore Verbinski's “command over utter chaos is nothing short of marvelous!” PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:20pm showing and meet in the bar area between 5:45 and 6:00pm! A smaller theater so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! (If we fill it up, we can sometimes persuade them to move it to a larger theater.) One you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments below. Should be a fun one, Dan

CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
CBusData - Ok I Want to Get Data into Fabric - Now What?
I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.
