V. Climate Café Ljubljana - May 2026
𝐕. 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟é 𝐋𝐣𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚 – 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜
Did you know that plastic was once promoted as a way to protect nature? Today, it has become one of the most visible symbols of environmental pollution.
Plastic is everywhere: in our ecosystems, in our water, in our bodies, and in global supply chains. Because it is so present in everyday life, it can seem like a very familiar problem, yet the systems behind it are anything but simple.
𝐀𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐟é 𝐋𝐣𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚, 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬: 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜, 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥.
This edition features:
\- 𝐕𝐚𝐢𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐯 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐣𝐚\, researcher at the National Institute of Chemistry\, who will present scientific findings and current activities in the field of plastics\.
\- 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐚 𝐊𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐜𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐢𝐞\, Chief Negotiator for Slovenia\, who will present the political side of the issue\, focusing on the UN negotiations on the new global treaty to address plastic pollution\.
\- The presentations will be followed by an open debate\, moderated by 𝐁𝐨𝐣𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬\, circular economy expert\, who will help guide the discussion towards possible responses\, solutions\, and the role of different stakeholders\.
Whether you are interested in environmental policy, circular economy, everyday plastic use, or simply want to better understand where the plastics debate is heading, you are very welcome to join us. The evening will be a chance to hear what is currently being done, ask questions, and discuss what realistic next steps could look like.

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.

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
