Leads come in, but they don’t move. Prospects engage, but they don’t convert. Customers join, but they don’t stay. And most teams are guessing where the breakdown actually is. At this DC Marketing Tech Talks event, Geoff Livingston will walk you through a practical, end-to-end AI workflow designed to help you identify and fix the gaps in your customer journey. This session is about using AI to analyze how buyers are actually moving through your funnel, uncover where engagement drops off, and turn that insight into measurable improvements. You’ll learn how to: * Map your real customer journey * Identify friction points across your lead funnel * Use AI to analyze messy marketing data in a structured way. Geoff will show you how to turn disconnected touchpoints into a clear picture of behavior, how to surface usable insights, and how to feed those insights back into your campaigns to improve performance. This session will give you a detailed playbook. You will see the specific tools, the specific processes, and the step-by-step structure to implement this workflow inside your own organization. From auditing your journey to identifying measurable gaps, to prioritizing the highest-impact fixes, to building a repeatable optimization loop, you will walk away knowing exactly how to execute this approach from start to finish.

Capoeira (capo-way-ra) is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that is unlike any other martial art. Capoeira incorporates flowing movements with kicks, dodges, and some acrobatics. It is often mistaken for a dance for those reasons. Since it’s origins in the 17th century, it has evolved from a secret fighting practice into an art emphasizing self-expression and community celebration. It is great for the body and mind! In addition to gaining strength and flexibility in class, students learn about Brazilian culture, history, and language (Portuguese). On November 26, 2014 capoeira was granted a special protected status as "intangible cultural heritage” by UNESCO. The session is offered InStudio only. **Sign up at www.piesfitnessyoga.com required at least two hours before class begins.** The address is 1322 Prince St Alexandria, VA 22314. Our entrance is located on the side of the building, parallel to West St. **Street parking is available and additional parking is located at Shiloh Baptist church, spaces 36,37,38,39.** The church is located across the street from the studio, on the corner of Duke St. and West St.

​A beginner-friendly workshop on superintelligence AI and how this new technology is evolving and impacting society. ​​**Free and open to the public — no technical background required** ​​What would it actually mean for machines to become smarter than humans—not just at chess or writing, but at *everything*? For decades, scientists and researchers have debated the idea of **Superintelligent AI**: systems that could outperform humans across nearly all cognitive tasks. What once sounded like distant science fiction is now increasingly discussed as a real possibility within our lifetimes. ​​This workshop is a guided, interactive introduction to the idea of superintelligence and the problem of **loss of control**—what happens if we create systems that are more capable than we are, but whose goals don’t perfectly align with human values. ​​**Over the course of the workshop, we’ll explore:** * ​​**Superintelligence:** What it means for an AI system to surpass human intelligence across domains, and how this differs from today’s AI. * ​​**Power and control:** Why advanced AI could wield enormous economic, political, and strategic influence—and why “just turning it off” may not be realistic. * ​​**Misalignment risks:** How systems pursuing the *wrong* objectives could cause harm even without malicious intent. * ​​**Societal choices:** How decisions made today—by researchers, companies, and governments—may shape whether AI becomes a tool we control or a force we struggle to contain. ​​**What you’ll get:** * ​​A clear, non-technical introduction to core ideas from AI safety and existential risk research. * ​​Live demonstrations of current AI capabilities, to ground abstract concerns in real systems. * ​​Small-group discussions and thought experiments that connect AI risks to everyday life, institutions, and incentives. * ​​A better mental model for evaluating headlines, hype, and claims about AI progress. ​​**Format & vibe:** ​​This is not a lecture it is an interactive workshop designed to help people think clearly about a topic that is increasingly important and moving very quickly. ​​Whether you’re new to AI, casually interested, or deeply unsure what to believe, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of *why* many researchers take superintelligence seriously—and *what’s actually at stake* if we get it wrong.

Join us for an evening of great conversations, new connections, and insights at the Data & AI Social Club! This relaxed networking event brings together professionals, enthusiasts, and curious minds from the worlds of data and more!

Title: A Dual Universe Model of Reality Date: March 21 2026 Noon - 14:00 EST Summary: While Terry was not the first to create the dual-universe model — that honor goes to Jennifer Chen and Sean Carroll in 2004, with a sad special mention of William Sidis in 1925 — Terry did come up with his own version in 2007 while watching a boringly one-sided high-school football game. In this talk, Terry will describe both how he later elaborated the idea into a faster-moving and more physics-compatible version of Roger Penrose’s 2010 Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) theory. In this talk, Terry will review the history of dual universes and explain how his version leads to a novel perspective on the nature of time, mass, uncertainty, and the Standard Model. Speaker: Terry Bollinger is a computer scientist with BS, MS and professional degrees from the Missouri University of Science and Technology.
