Leadership

**Hosted by Intercom’s Paul Vickers and Patrick Lindstrom** Join us at the Intercom Dublin office for an evening focused on the "Last Mile" of data engineering—turning solid infrastructure into immediate business value. Over the last two years, Intercom migrated to Snowflake and rebuilt our data foundations from the ground up, creating a trusted, high-quality layer of core data models. But we realized that great data is only useful if people can actually use it. In this session, the Intercom Data team will share how we are moving up the value chain—going beyond static dashboards to build intelligent, interactive tools that empower our GTM teams. **The Agenda:** **Breaking the SQL Barrier: Scaling Insights with Claude & Snowflake** Even with perfect data models, the "SQL Wall" often forces business leaders to wait in a queue for answers. We’ll demonstrate how we used Claude Code and Snowflake MCPs to remove this bottleneck, allowing non-technical users to query our Data Warehouse directly and create sharable artifacts of their analysis. See how we combined strict governance with an AI interface to turn "data tickets" into instant, self-serve answers. **From Insight to Action: Building 'Cockpit' on Snowflake Container Services** While chat enables exploration, some workflows require action. We will pull back the curtain on Cockpit, a full-stack application built by our Data Science team to help Relationship Managers optimize customer outcomes. Learn how we used AI-assisted coding ("vibe coding") to build the app and Snowpark Container Services to deploy it—proving that Data teams can build powerful software, not just reports. **From Idea to Real-Time Fraud Detection in Snowflake ML** In this session we’ll build a real-time fraud detection service end-to-end inside Snowflake. Starting from a natural language idea, we’ll use AI-assisted development to generate synthetic transaction data, explore patterns, and train an ML fraud model with Snowflake ML. We’ll then deploy it to Snowpark Container Services and expose a low-latency REST endpoint for live transaction scoring. You’ll leave with a practical pattern you can reuse for other real-time ML use cases such as credit risk scoring, real-time recommendations, or anomaly detection on operational data in Snowflake. **Location** Intercom office (near Stephens Green) **Event Schedule** * 6:00 PM: Networking with pizza and drinks * 6:30 PM: Breaking the SQL Barrier: Scaling Insights with Claude & Snowflake, Intercom * 7 pm From Insight to Action: Building 'Cockpit' on Snowflake Container Services, Intercom * 7.30 pm 10 minute break * 7.40 pm From Idea to Real-Time Fraud Detection in Snowflake ML, Max Zito, Snowflake * 8.10 pm Chats with drinks * From 9 pm More chats in a nearby pub

## Details The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-) Since the weather is expected to be sunny, let's meet in the Stephen's green near Band Stand or James Joyce Statue facing MoLI, [https://maps.app.goo.gl/DX2AX2xYNTkU88Vq7?g_st=ic](https://maps.app.goo.gl/DX2AX2xYNTkU88Vq7?g_st=ic) at 7, do silent reading for an hour. Then head to Bartley's. If you're unable to find us, message me in the meetup. If you prefer indoors, you can ask Bartley's staff and read. We will join at 8:15 PM. 📝 **How does this work?** We will meet in the Bartley's Restaurant area from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM for silent reading and followed up by discussion. **During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read.** Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area. 👥 **Socialising** After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! Feel free to join at any point during the event. The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter! **📌 Helpful Tips and Notes** * Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise * I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us * If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me. Looking forward to meeting you all 😊

The next Dub\|Sec meetup will take place in the Wexford Room of the Camden Court Hotel on May 27\, 2026\. We'll be there from 6.30pm. Our first speaker will start at around 7pm. **19:00 - Talk 1: The Invisible Thread: From Retail Data Breaches to Phone Scams.** by Vadym Melnychenko How “Zombie Systems” in local shops become digital back-doors, why this is happening, and what a more secure “Retail Fortress” approach looks like. **19:30 - Talk 2: Securing Originality - how do we protect the quality and authenticity of human thinking** by Kalyani Korpe As universities are scrambling to respond to GenAI use and students pushing back, how are organisations protecting human thinking. Original thinking is an asset that needs governance, the same way we govern systems and data. If you would like to speak at this event or at any future Dub\|Sec\, please email us at [info@dubsec.ie](http://info@dubsec.ie/)! Join us for some drinks, food and general chat about infosec. Everyone is welcome whether you’re a pro, an amateur or just curious about the field!

This will be our first meeting. The idea is, for a peer support group. To talk about improving our ongoing health issues. Such as. Diabetes Type 1&2. Heart Health/Attack . Blood Pressure. Cholesterol. Preventing And Recovering from Stroke/s. And general well-being. There doesn't seem to be a place to have a coffee and a chat, with other people that have been through a significant event. In particular dealing with Chronic Pain from certain conditions. So the idea is just to have a suportive coffee chat, to talk about what it's like to have a lived experience and dealing with different types of difacult health issues. If the group takes off we will definitely do more of them. It'll be be nice to sit down and have a chat with other people who have been through similar stuff. To maybe support each other, and to help each other with the isolation that sometimes people can feel, that unless you've been through it, it's hard to understand. As the group progresses we will try and adapt to what comes up. And occasionally asked professionals to give advice on various help topics. As long as they're free or at the very least very-low and affordable cost. I personally myself I'm paying a small fortune in the chemist. They wouldn't give me a medical card. For having Diabetes. Just a long-term illness card.

**An evening for over-givers** I asked the people who follow my work: "What's harder for you: giving or receiving?" The answers came back almost identical. Giving is easy. Receiving doesn't always come naturally. People described it as a burden, a debt, an awkwardness, a thing they'd been taught they had to earn first. One person said, "It's safer not to want." Most of us were trained to be *over-developed givers* and under-developed receivers, and we live the rest of our lives slightly off-balance because of it. The Relating Lab is a 105-minute group session to explore this topic, guided by a psychologist. **Who this is for** * You can give for hours. Receiving for five minutes feels strange. * When someone gives you something, you feel like you owe them something back. * You don't always know what you actually want. * You notice yourself trying to be worthy of the good things in your life. * You wish for more affection in your friendships without awkwardness. * You suspect that the way you were taught about love and worth in childhood is still running quietly in the background. **What we'll do** * A guided meditation on a recent moment when receiving felt hard * Paired work with a simple exercise that can change how you understand every interaction in your life. * A closing sound bath where you receive together. * A closing circle. **What this is not** This is not therapy. Not a workshop you'll have to perform at. Not a "share your trauma" circle. Just come as you are and give this topic the time it deserves. *Your only task is to **receive**. Not to deserve it. Not to repay it. Not to make anything happen. Just let it land.* **The practical bits** Sunday 31 May, 4–5:45 pm. Calm Rooms, Monkstown. €27. Up to 15 seats. RSVP through this Meetup. Wear something comfortable that you can sit on the floor in. Bring a water bottle. **About me** I'm Olena. I'm a psychologist (PSI graduate member), doing a PhD in organisational psychology, with somatic and consent-based training on top. I run cacao ceremonies and cuddle therapy sessions in Dublin. The Relating Lab is a series of four events that I'll be running monthly through the summer. Each event is focused on a different quadrant of the Wheel of Consent. This is the entry point. Come and share this space with like-minded people. **Everything is opt-in.** You can pass on any exercise without explaining why. This event is an introduction to future workshops about giving, receiving, taking, and allowing. It's a safe space; the exercises might include some platonic touch (if you opt in). Every participant is invited to come with reverence for others in the group.

How to be a Better Communicator Communication is everything in life Sunday, 23 February at 2pm. You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.

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.

Attend a free seminar on how to have successful and lasting relationships. At this seminar you will learn: How to spot and handle negative and toxic relationships. How to get through the "rough patches" in a relationship. How to choose the right people to work with. The three things that make or break any relationship. How to make a good relationship great. All are welcome. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.** How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently? Then we will go into a topic discussion. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS** \*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\* 1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group. 2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another. 3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up. 4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space. 5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable. 6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
