This is the first gathering of the Tallinn Disclosure & Hidden History Meetup. We will begin with introductions and discuss how each of us became interested in UFO disclosure, UAP developments, hidden history, intelligence conflicts, and related subjects. The goal of this meetup is not sensationalism, but thoughtful and open-minded discussion about how global disclosure movements could impact Estonia culturally, technologically, politically, and economically. Topics may include: * Current UFO/UAP disclosure developments * Public perception and media narratives * Estonia’s possible role in future aerospace, AI, defense, or consciousness-related industries * Business and startup opportunities emerging from disclosure-era technologies and social change * Information warfare and institutional trust * Future scenarios for society and geopolitics This event is English only. We welcome respectful skeptics, researchers, engineers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and curious people. Safe boundaries and respectful discussion are important to this group. Harassment, aggressive behavior, and disruptive conduct are not tolerated. CIA disinformation agents are not welcome. Members of the Estonian intelligence community are welcome. In-person attendance only. Location: Springhub Coworking Space, Tondi Access instructions: * The first-floor main entrance is open. * The second-floor door is locked. * Please wait in the first-floor sofa area. * Someone will come down at 3:00 PM to guide attendees to the second-floor meeting room.

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!

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
