Work automation with AI Agents
## Build your personal system of AI agents
## On campus or remote live
A practical intensive course for entrepreneurs, marketers, product managers, office workers, creators who want to speed up and automate their work routine with AI agents.

• How automation can reduce costs, save time, and increase efficiency in service-based businesses
💡 What we’ll cover:
• How AI can help you grow your business
• Practical ways to implement AI today
• Opportunities in travel, tech, and digital business
• Networking, collaboration, and idea sharing
This is not a formal event — it’s a casual space to meet other entrepreneurs, build connections, exchange contacts, and explore ways to collaborate and create business opportunities together 🤝
Grab a drink, meet like-minded people, and talk about ideas in a relaxed atmosphere 🍻
We’ll also share a real example of how travelers are exploring Barcelona using AI-powered tools and virtual guides.

**NeuroCiencia y Espiritualidad ✨🧠 El Cerebro y su Capacidad Natural para trascender**
Tras años de investigación conectando los descubrimientos de la ciencia con las grandes tradiciones de la espiritualidad, emerge una idea profundamente reveladora: la trascendencia no es un mito ni un privilegio reservado a unos pocos, sino una capacidad natural del ser humano, inscrita en nuestra propia biología y presente como potencial en toda persona.
En esta conferencia exploraremos el patrón común que comparten ocho vías distintas de trascendencia, comprendiendo cómo cada una de ellas puede ampliar nuestra percepción, transformar nuestra conciencia y abrir acceso a estados de mayor claridad, lucidez y conexión.
Una invitación a descubrir qué significa realmente “pensar con el cerebro completo” y recuperar una forma más profunda, integrada y consciente de experimentar la realidad, más allá de las palabras.
**Ponente**: Salva López, músico experto en crecimiento personal a través de la música, es conferenciante internacional y ha publicado tres libros.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event.
**Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works.
We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks.
This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations.
Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
