**Complementary lessons from internal productivity to customer-facing AI** AI is transforming the travel industry, but turning ideas into reliable, measurable systems in production remains hard. In this meetup, engineers and leaders from BlaBlaCar and AMEX GBT Egencia will share practical lessons on how they structure AI efforts, ship real systems, and operationalize agentic workflows—from internal platforms to customer-facing travel products. While both companies tackle similar challenges, they’ll share perspectives from different starting points: * **BlaBlaCar** will discuss its focus on **internal productivity and developer enablement**. * **AMEX GBT Egencia** will share learnings from building **customer-facing, knowledge-grounded GenAI agents**. Together, we’ll cover: * how AI initiatives are structured and measured for impact, * how agentic AI is used for both internal productivity and external user experiences, * what it takes to evaluate, orchestrate, and operate agents reliably in production. Expect concrete examples, honest trade-offs, and shared lessons from teams approaching similar problems from different angles. **Format (Hybrid)** This will be a **hybrid meetup**. If you’re around the Paris area, we strongly encourage you to join in person for discussions, networking, and pizza. Remote attendance is also possible—**RSVP to receive the Zoom link.** **Practical Information** **Date**: March 31st, 2026 🕕 **Schedule**: * 6:00 pm – Welcome & networking * 6:30 pm – Talks start * ± 9:00 pm – Pizza & drinks **📍 Location:** AMEX GBT Egencia, 11 Chemin de Bretagne, 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux (Agora conference room) **🎯 Audience:** (ML) engineers, data scientists, AI enthusiasts, AI practitioners, leaders **🗣️ Language:** English (questions welcome in English, French, and a few other languages) 👉 RSVP early — **in-person spots are limited.** **Agenda & Talks** **Part 1 — AI Strategy: Organizing for Impact** **BlaBlaCar — Yannick HOFFSESS** In the race to “AI-everything”, a lot of companies are burning cash on demos that never leave the lab. At BlaBlaCar, we took a different route: we are treating AI integration like our carpooling model — focused on efficiency and shared resources. In this talk I will go under the hood of BlaBlaCar AI strategy. This isn't about theoretical models. It is a blueprint of how we integrated AI in our practices. I’ll share our reality: the mindset that actually matters, the projects that delivered good ROI and the hurdles that are slowing down our journey. **AMEX GBT Egencia — Bernard CHEA, Véronique BLIN-ROYER** Great AI products don’t start with a model — they start with the fundamentals that make them reliable. We’ll share how we structured and evolved our AI initiatives to move from experimentation to sustained impact: building strong data and AI platform foundations, adapting our approach for GenAI without reinventing everything, and partnering closely with Product to define success criteria upfront. We’ll also cover the governance and prioritization choices that helped us — and the lessons from what slowed us down. **Part 2 — Agentic AI: Internal and Customer-Facing Use Cases** **BlaBlaCar — Mike BENOIT, Valentin FRIES** In this talk, we’ll first break down our journey in enabling engineering teams with a tailor-made multi-agent ecosystem. How to create an orchestrator agent? Are they good at introspection? How to get the most out of your trusty IDE plugin? We’ll share how we moved beyond standard Copilot usage to significantly increase developer experience. We’ll then demonstrate how agentic tools can be leveraged internally to lift operational bottlenecks, like solving the flakiness of external test systems, assisting customer support in investigating escalations, or optimizing the cost of profile picture moderation. We’ll showcase real-world implementations that directly improve our teams’ quality of life and share how we track the tools’ efficiency to provide measurable business value. **AMEX GBT Egencia — Mohamed HAMHOUM, Riham MANSRI** We’ll share a production-grounded journey of building customer-facing GenAI support, starting with a multilingual RAG-based FAQ system deployed in 10 languages. We’ll do a candid retro on what it really takes to keep a RAG experience healthy once it’s live: defining success criteria, putting the right guardrails in place, building an evaluation approach that works across languages, and maintaining quality over time through monitoring and iterative improvements—not just one-off demos. We’ll then show how those learnings informed our move from Q&A to our first Flight Exchange AI agent in production. Using insights from real chat and live-agent sessions, we’ll explain why flight changes were the right next step, what changed when we introduced an agentic workflow, and how we scoped an initial v1 to deliver value safely while creating a feedback loop to expand capabilities. **Speakers:** **Bernard CHEA** is initially a full-stack software developer since 2005 and joined Egencia back in 2012, building the booking platform, then led the data platform and lastly the AI engineering and AI platform teams. His objective has always been to have a full end-to-end view on all aspects of the business to better serve our customers, asking the same to the teams he’s managing. Outside of work, he likes spending time with friends, a former bachata dancer – connecting to humans and not only computers. **Mika BENOIT** works as a Software Engineer at BlaBlaCar since 2021. He joined the Booking squad, creating since then the backend serving the booking flow for all the buses and trains on the platform. During his free time, Mika likes to learn new maker skill, maintain a too complicated home automation setup and play Dungeon & Dragon. **Mohamed HAMHOUM** is a Machine Learning Engineer at Amex GBT since 2024 passioned by GenAI. He has worked on turning structured search systems into intelligent, agent-driven assistants using RAG and Agentic architectures. He has also led efforts in evaluating and strengthening these systems, ensuring performance, stability, and reliability in high-stakes enterprise settings. Outside of AI, he's a big fan of board games and traveling, though he ironically forgets the names of most of the games he plays, despite being able to design agentic ai systems cross teams. **Riham MANSRI** is a Machine Learning Engineer at Amex GBT, where she develops AI solutions and machine learning models across a range of use cases since her final year R&D internship back in 2022 at Egencia. She enjoys working with advanced ML technologies and applying them to real-world problems. Most recently, her work has centred on Generative AI, spanning the design and evaluation of RAG systems, agentic AI, and the use of A2A to improve agent-to-agent communication and coordination. Outside of work, Riham enjoys movies, especially horror and thrillers, has grown into an F1 fan over the past few years, and is an enthusiastic bootcamp workout devotee. **Valentin FRIES** joined BlaBlaCar as a Senior Software Engineer in 2022 and worked since then on bootstrapping and evolving the Global Distribution System enabling train sales on the platform. Prior to that, he worked for multiple years as Software Engineer in the travel industry, in education, and infrastructure. During his free time, Valentin practices Taï Chi Chuan and likes to start new hobbies — woodworking, bass guitar — that he won't be able to invest in since he has a newborn child. **Véronique BLIN-ROYER** has been working in product management for over 15 years. She started her journey when agile practices were beginning to take root — around 2012, when agile was becoming mainstream. Since then, she had the opportunity to work across different product development teams, from front-end to back-end, always refining her craft as a product leader. Product management has always been a passion for her: “not only do I practice it daily, but I also teach it in a business school and create internal training programs to help others grow in this discipline”. This background has shaped how I approach AI Product Management today — blending rigor, agility, and a deep curiosity for how AI can transform products. **Yannick HOFFSESS** is the Head of Bus and Train Engineering at BlaBlaCar, a company he joined 4 years ago, bringing over 15 years of tech leadership experience from roles in the travel industry at Amadeus. Yannick balances his professional life with a passion for sports, van-life adventures with his family and needles.

**📘 Soirée de lancement** du livre *« **10X ORG: A manager's guide to elevate business performance with people and AI** ».* Écrit par Alexey Krivitsky, Craig Larman et **Roland Flemm** **Format :** 🗣️ français 🎤 présentation · ❓ Q/R · 💬 discussion ouverte · 🤝 networking **❓ Pourquoi cette soirée ?** Dans beaucoup d’organisations, on cherche à améliorer la performance en **“poussant plus fort”** : plus d’outils, plus de reporting, plus de pression… sans pour autant changer le système lui-même. Le livre **10X ORG** propose une autre voie : s’appuyer sur le **design organisationnel** et **Org Topologies** pour créer des organisations réellement **10X**, où **les personnes et l’IA se complètent** au lieu de se heurter. **✨ Ce qui vous attend** Rejoignez-nous pour une soirée exceptionnelle autour de **10X ORG**, en présence de son co-auteur **[Roland Flemm](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rolandflemm)** (*Org Topologies, LeSS, design d’organisation*). Au cours de cette rencontre, Roland présentera l’essentiel du livre : * **pourquoi** il a été écrit, et dans quel contexte ; * **quel problème** il cherche à résoudre dans les organisations modernes ; * **ce que les leaders sous-estiment souvent** lorsqu’ils essaient d’améliorer la performance en demandant *“plus vite, plus fort”* plutôt qu’en repensant le système. Il partagera également **l’envers du décor** : * les défis rencontrés pendant l’écriture ; * les choix assumés ; * les idées qui ont le plus évolué au fil du projet. **🎯 Ce que vous en retirerez** Vous repartirez avec : * 🧠 des **repères concrets** pour comprendre pourquoi l’IA ne suffit pas à “sauver” une organisation mal conçue ; * 🏗️ une **première compréhension** de ce que proposent **10X ORG** et **Org Topologies** pour penser **flux de valeur, structure et apprentissage** ; * 🚀 des **pistes d’action** à tester dans votre propre contexte : transformation agile, produit, IA, RH, management… **🍷 Un moment convivial** La soirée se terminera autour d’un verre, pour : * échanger de manière informelle ; * rencontrer d’autres praticiens ; * prolonger la discussion dans une ambiance conviviale. **🔎 Pour aller plus loin** Pour celles et ceux qui souhaitent approfondir, un **atelier exclusif 10X ORG** animé par **Roland Flemm** et **[Laetitia Thernier](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laetitia-thernier)** aura lieu à **Paris** le **lundi 13 avril après-midi**. **Infos pratiques et inscription : [ici](https://www.orgtopologies.com/event-details-registration/atelier)** 📍 Infos pratiques Les participant·es recevront par e-mail, via Meetup, toutes les informations d’accès à **Agile Tribu** *(adresse précise, code d’entrée, étage, etc.)* **environ 2 heures avant le début de l’événement**.

If you are interested in selecting investment choices for your 401(k) or other workplace savings plan, minimizing your income tax liability, or identifying the most effective investments for your brokerage account, we are the group for you.

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.
