**CONNECT. INSPIRE. TRAVEL. REPEAT.** **LOOP NIGHT 🌍** You know that feeling — you show up to an event, there are people **everywhere**, and somehow you still feel **alone**. You stand around waiting for someone else to make the first move. Nobody does. You go home with the same number of friends you came with. Loop Night is **built differently.** Small group. Real venue. A format that actually gets people talking — even if you're both introverts. *** **🧠 First — the Quiz** You'll be split into teams with strangers. Ten minutes in, you're already arguing about which country has the best street food or who invented the light bulb. Ice broken. Introductions handled! **🎤 Then — the Story Spotlight** Anyone who wants can share a travel story in a short presentation format. There are no boring adventures — only wrong angles. We've had someone break down their trip to China, someone rank Buenos Aires empanadas by neighborhood. Both got a standing ovation. Every talk turns into a conversation — questions, debates, personal stories from the audience. That's where the real connections happen. **This** edition is **open topic** — any adventure, any angle, any format.

If the link doesn't work, just message us and we'll send it directly. *** **Who is this for?** For people who want to find their kind of crowd — not just be around people 🤝 For those who collect experiences, not just destinations 🗺️ For anyone who wants to practice speaking in front of others and actually enjoy it 🎯 For travelers who want to leave with real tips from people who've already been there 💡 *** *After the main program — for those who want to stay — we pass mate around the circle. Argentine style. No rush. 🧉* *** **🕹️ Want in?** Spots are limited — and that's the whole point. A small room means everyone actually meets everyone. To join: send us a message to claim your spot.

No drop-ins. Not because we're gatekeeping — because the atmosphere only works when the room is right. *** *Travelers Loop isn't a networking event.* *It's a room full of people who move through the world a little differently.* *If that sounds like you — you already know what to do.* 🌍 **CONNECT. INSPIRE. TRAVEL. REPEAT.**

GitHub Copilot Dev Days es una iniciativa global de comunidades, realizada de forma presencial, que se llevará a cabo del 15 de marzo al 15 de mayo de 2026. La serie reúne a desarrolladores, entusiastas y comunidades tecnológicas locales para explorar el potencial de GitHub Copilot a través de experiencias prácticas y aplicadas. Abierto a todos los desarrolladores, los eventos son organizados por comunidades tecnológicas locales y están diseñados para ser altamente prácticos. Cada sesión se centra en flujos de trabajo del mundo real, actividades prácticas y talleres enfocados en programación asistida por IA con GitHub Copilot.

En este taller introductorio vamos a acercarnos a la **Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem (TRI)** de una manera práctica y accesible. La TRI sirve para entender mejor **cómo funcionan los ítems (preguntas) de un test y cómo miden una habilidad o rasgo**. Nos permite ver, por ejemplo, si un ítem es más fácil o más difícil, si discrimina bien entre personas con distinto nivel, y si funciona de manera consistente. También es una herramienta muy útil para seleccionar los mejores ítems, acortar tests sin perder calidad y diseñar escalas más precisas. A lo largo del encuentro, vas a: \- Construir una comprensión conceptual de sus ideas principales\. \- Aplicar este método usando R\. \- Aprender a interpretar sus resultados para entender mejor cómo funcionan los ítems y qué aportan a la medición\. Este taller es **introductorio** y está dirigido a personas con un **conocimiento básico de escalas psicométricas**. **No requiere conocimiento previo de Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem.** **Requerimientos:** * R: 4.5.1 (mínimo) * RStudio: 2025.05.1 (mínimo, descargar [aquí](https://posit.co/downloads/)) * Instalar los paquetes **tidyverse, mirt y ltm**

**IMPORTANTE**: El evento transcurre en el parque, que es grande; y si el clima lo requiere en algún café cercano. Por tal motivo se recomienda ingresar al grupo de **Whatsapp** para acceder a la ubicación exacta y actualizada: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JXuUvIkBR8VKyanyUgFKWa **IMPORTANT:** The meeting is in the park, that is quite big; and in case of raining in a nearby Cafe. Because of that, is highly recommended to join the WhatsApp group in order to know the precise and uploaded location: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JXuUvIkBR8VKyanyUgFKWa 🏛️ **¿DE QUÉ SE TRATA FILOSOFÍA PRÁCTICA?** Filosofía Práctica es un encuentro semanal para quienes disfrutan de conversaciones profundas, el pensamiento crítico, y la exploración de nuevas ideas. No necesitas conocimientos previos, solo curiosidad y ganas de compartir. Cada semana abordamos un tema distinto, practicando la comunicación y construyendo una comunidad de personas reflexivas. 📓 **¿CÓMO FUNCIONA?** * Compartimos el tema de la semana en nuestro grupo de WhatsApp con algunas preguntas guía. * Nos reunimos a las 14:00, comenzando con una charla informal antes de la discusión. * Conversamos en grupos pequeños para que todos puedan participar. * Al final, cada grupo comparte sus conclusiones y cerramos la sesión alrededor de las 16:00. 🧧 **¿CUÁNTO CUESTA?** ¡Es completamente gratis! Si nos reunimos en un café, solo pedimos que apoyes el lugar comprando una bebida. Algunas sedes alquilan un espacio y pueden solicitar donaciones voluntarias, pero no es obligatorio. 💛 **LO QUE DICEN** 🗣 “Siento que Filosofía Práctica te ayuda a construir tu propio sistema de creencias a través de diversas perspectivas, sin imponer lo que está bien o mal.” – Ekam 🗣 “Desde la primera vez que asistí (el tema era autoridad), supe que este era mi lugar. Me encanta cómo nos desafía a cuestionar diferentes puntos de vista, fomentando la apertura y la flexibilidad mental.” – Daniel 🗣 “Siempre quise tener este tipo de conversaciones, pero nunca encontré el espacio adecuado… hasta ahora. La gente, los temas, los debates abiertos… todo hace que sienta que pertenezco aquí.” – Sofía 🤓 **PREGUNTAS FRECUENTES** 📌 **¿Debo estudiar antes de asistir?** – No es necesario. Nos interesa saber *qué piensas tú*, no solo lo que dijeron los filósofos clásicos. Si quieres compartir ideas de alguna corriente de pensamiento, ¡adelante!, pero no es un requisito. 📌 **¿Se habla español?** – ¡Sí! Organizamos los grupos según el idioma para que todos se sientan cómodos participando. 📌 **¿Puedo ir solo/a?** – ¡Por supuesto! Muchos asistentes llegan solos y terminan haciendo grandes conexiones. 📌 **¿Dónde se reúnen?** – Compartimos la ubicación en WhatsApp y Meetup. Recomendamos unirte al grupo de WhatsApp para estar al día. ✨ **Desde 2021, Filosofía Práctica ha crecido a más de 50 capítulos en todo el mundo. ¡Únete a la comunidad!** **EL GRUPO DE WHATSAPP ES EN INGLES, CUALQUIER DUDA CONSULTE POR EL ORGANIZADOR AL INGRESAR.** 📲 [WhatsApp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JXuUvIkBR8VKyanyUgFKWa) \| 📷 [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) \| 🌍 [Website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/)

**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. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.

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. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!

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.

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Join us for a practical, beginner-friendly guide to choosing the right large language model. We’ll compare major models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama, talk about when to use hosted APIs versus local models, and break down the tradeoffs around cost, speed, quality, privacy, context windows, coding ability, and reliability. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model for picking an LLM based on your actual use case instead of hype, benchmarks, or brand names. No deep AI background required. 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.
