Information Architecture

A global game of hide and seek of mushroom themed art. Let’s put Portugal on the map in this annual event, as a unique way to celebrate and drive visibility to artists and creators. Want to find original art? Check out the [GAME OF SHROOMS MAP](https://yumfactory.com/projects/gameofshrooms/) of participating artists, and follow artists who are playing for updates on what art you can find and hints on where to find it. Want to hide your original art? Add your general location via participation pin at the link to the [GAME OF SHROOMS MAP](https://yumfactory.com/projects/gameofshrooms/) and add your IG handle or site URL so people can be aware that you are playing and can follow your updates on hints of where you are hiding your pieces. After you plant, take a few photo clues to post. I suggest a close up, then a wide shot, with a landmark of some kind visible (old church, sign post, etc) location tag helps if you are in a suburban area. Click attending and comment on this meetup event page and tag your IG if you are hiding or seeking! Or both :) This is an all day event

🌿 June Sistership Circle 🌿[Get tickets here!! ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/balancing-the-masculine-feminine-within-june-in-person-sistership-circle-tickets-1989861204428?aff=oddtdtcreator) Balancing the Masculine & Feminine Within So many women today find themselves constantly “doing” — holding everything together, caring for others, managing responsibilities, pushing through exhaustion, and rarely slowing down long enough to truly receive. This month’s circle is an invitation to gently explore the balance between: ✨ strength & softness ✨ action & surrender ✨ structure & flow ✨ giving & receiving ✨ doing & simply being Together, we’ll gather in sacred community for an afternoon of grounding, reflection, connection, guided meditation, somatic practices, journaling, sharing, and heartfelt conversation. No two circles are ever the same because each woman brings her own unique energy and medicine into the room. Whether you are brand new to this type of gathering or have been on a healing journey for years, you are welcome here. 🌸 Saturday, June 13, 2026 🕓 4:00 – 5:30 PM 📍 A Call to Spirit, LLC – Chantilly, VA Come as you are. Leave nourished. Space is intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy of the circle.

Important: Register on [AICamp website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061814) is required for admission. **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Washington DC. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \* 5:30pm\~6:00pm: Checkin, Food/drink and networking \* 6:00pm\~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A \* 8:00pm: Happy Hour at Courthouse Social (cross the street) **Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents** **Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder) **Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale. **Speakers:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 5,000+ AI developers in D.C and 500K+ worldwide.

For decades, application security has been built around a simple assumption: humans are the primary producers of software. We train developers, review their pull requests, model threats in design meetings, and build controls around human decision-making. That assumption is rapidly breaking down. As AI coding assistants evolve into autonomous software agents, organizations will gain access to an effectively unlimited engineering workforce capable of producing software at a speed no human team can match. The pressure to adopt these systems will be driven not by curiosity, but by competition. Companies that successfully harness agentic development will ship faster, iterate faster, and potentially outpace those that do not. This shift forces a fundamental rethinking of application security. The future of AppSec is not securing developers—it is governing an agentic workforce. Threat modeling, code review, security testing, and change management will not disappear, but they will need to operate at machine speed and increasingly be performed by systems rather than people. In this talk, Ken Johnson, CTO of DryRun Security, explores what the next decade of application security may look like, the assumptions that will no longer hold, and why security professionals must understand these systems deeply if they hope to influence the future rather than react to it.

Organizations today are collecting more data than ever before, yet much of that information remains difficult to access, understand, and act upon. Dashboards are often fragmented, reports require specialized knowledge, and valuable insights remain trapped inside disconnected systems. At the same time, advances in AI, speech technologies, and intelligent workflows are changing how people interact with information. Instead of navigating complex interfaces or manually building reports, users can increasingly ask questions naturally using voice and receive intelligent, contextual responses in real time. In this meetup, we will explore how modern AI systems are transforming raw ingested data into conversational, voice-driven experiences that enable discovery, analytics, reporting, and operational insight. We will examine how enterprise data from documents, APIs, databases, business applications, and event streams can be processed, structured, indexed, and exposed through AI-powered interfaces that support natural language interaction. The session will cover the end-to-end architecture behind intelligent voice-enabled reporting systems, including data ingestion pipelines, semantic indexing, retrieval strategies, AI orchestration, speech-to-text processing, large language models, and response generation. We will discuss how AI agents can reason over enterprise information, dynamically generate reports, summarize findings, identify anomalies, and provide conversational access to operational knowledge. You will also see how voice interfaces are evolving beyond simple assistants into intelligent workflow companions capable of interacting with business systems, coordinating actions, and supporting decision-making across departments such as sales, operations, customer service, finance, and executive leadership. Topics we will explore include: * AI-powered data ingestion and transformation pipelines * Semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) * Voice interfaces for enterprise analytics and reporting * Real-time conversational querying of structured and unstructured data * AI agents and workflow orchestration * Intelligent summarization and automated report generation * Integrating speech technologies with enterprise systems * Security, governance, and responsible AI considerations * Practical architectures and implementation strategies Whether you are a developer, architect, analyst, technology leader, entrepreneur, or AI enthusiast, this session will provide practical insight into how conversational AI and voice-driven systems are reshaping the future of enterprise intelligence and human-computer interaction. Join us for an engaging discussion, live demonstrations, architecture walkthroughs, and real-world examples showing how organizations can move from static reporting to dynamic, conversational discovery powered by AI.
