**Una invitación a bajar el ritmo y salir un rato del automático.** Nos encontramos para caminar juntos alrededor del Lago de Regatas, respirar aire fresco, mover el cuerpo y dejar que la naturaleza haga lo suyo: despejar, oxigenar y aflojar tensiones. Será un espacio simple y cuidado para habitar el cuerpo, calmar la mente y abrir el alma, compartiendo el recorrido con otros desde la escucha y la alegría. En este camino, **la atención plena se vuelve nuestra guía**, permitiéndonos entrenar la mente y abrir el corazón en cada paso. Lo hacemos simplemente **observando la respiración**, caminando a nuestro propio ritmo y escuchando las sensaciones del cuerpo para volver a habitarnos. A medida que avanzamos, nos vamos **abriendo al asombro**, dejando que los aromas y los sonidos que nos rodean nos saquen de los pensamientos y nos traigan al presente. Es desde ahí que podemos **conectar con los demás** de una manera distinta: desde una escucha atenta, sin interrupciones, hablando de manera amorosa y amable. ### 📍 Punto de encuentro y Recorrido Nos encontramos en la esquina de **Av. del Libertador y Olleros** (en la esquina de la plaza).

Vení, sentate, conocé a alguien nuevo, coqueteá si pinta 😉, y disfrutá ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañía. No hay consumo obligatorio — traé tu energía, tus ganas de conectar y dejá que la noche haga lo suyo.

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.

### 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.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
