🗓 **Agenda:**
* 6:00pm – 6:30pm: Welcome, Food/Drinks & Networking

**💡 Speaker Details:**
Sandon Jacobs, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent
**From Chaos to Contract: Governing Data Streams**
So you’re committed to this path of data streaming with Apache Kafka. But, here’s a question: would you build a REST API and make users guess the request and response formats? Doing so opens a Pandora’s Box…
* What’s the domain model?
* Name the operation… POST? GET? PUT? PATCH?
* What does this error code even mean?
* Is the documentation - if it even exists - accurate and relevant?
*
Imagine the complex, repetitive logic every consuming system would need to implement to make sense of it all.
In a distributed, asynchronous system, these problems are magnified. Apache Kafka's flexibility—messages as simple bytes—is a huge strength, but it's also a major risk. While your event streams likely consist of some structured data (maybe JSON strings), enforcing structure, managing evolution, and basic validations aren’t a hard requirement. This leaves consumer applications to perform this preprocessing of every event - even if that event has no business value.
In this session, we'll define data contracts and how to enforce them at the source - the applications that produce events. We’ll cover the practice of using a schema registry - supporting popular serialization formats like Apache Avro and Google Protobuf - to design events in the terminology of our business domain. Because data structures change over time, let’s discuss safe schema evolution practices. Then we’ll utilize these contracts with schema registry-aware producer and consumer code. We’ll end our time by looking at how smart CI/CD pipelines and build-time checks can add an extra layer of defense against the costly problem of poison data.
It’s time to stop guessing and start governing. Join us to learn how to move validation upstream and transform your event streams into high-quality, discoverable data products. You’ll walk away with a practical blueprint for enforcing schema integrity and automating evolution—ensuring your data streams are a trusted asset.

Dare to ‘Re-Treat’: The Leadership Reset Experience
### An Invitation For You
A 6.5 Hour, clinically designed reset for high-responsibility professionals — with guided practices, meaningful dialogue, and a full multi-course meal.
For executives, clinicians, educators, managers, HR leaders, and high-responsibility professionals who carry visible and invisible load — and need more than another wellness webinar.
##### **Individual Ticket: $349 + tax**
https://daretoretreat.co/product/leadershipreset2026/
#### What Happens During the 6.5 Hour Leadership Reset
This is not a panel you sit through and forget the next day.
The experience moves intentionally between learning, embodied reset, nourishment, and integration — so participants don’t leave emotionally spun out.
**The experience includes:**
* **Arrival and Grounding Welcome**
A guided transition from workplace pace into psychological space.
* **Opening Reflection**
Structured time to slow down, settle, and reconnect with internal cues.
* **The Mental Beauty Framework**
A clear, professional approach to sustainable self-leadership rooted in clinical practice and real workplace realities.
* **Guided Nervous-System Reset Practices**
Breathwork, visualization, or sensory grounding designed to reduce overload and restore emotional steadiness.
* **Insight Session: The Psychology of Burnout**
Exploring patterns such as over-responsibility, perfectionism, emotional labour, compassion fatigue, and the pressure to “stay strong.”
* **Applied Reset Practice**
A practical ritual or tool participants can repeat in daily life and at work.
* **Full Multi-Course Meal**
A curated dining experience woven into the reset, reinforcing slowing down, receiving, and replenishing.
* **Integration Circle and Closing**
Reflection and anchoring so insights land — not just intellectually, but emotionally.
#### What This Experience Is
Workplace demands are rising, burnout is accelerating, and leaders across Canada are carrying more emotional, cognitive, and relational responsibility than ever before.
Traditional wellness initiatives — short talks, apps, and one-off perks — are no longer enough.
**Dare to ‘*Re-Treat*’: The Leadership Reset Experience** is a **clinically grounded, psychologically safe, in-person experience** designed to help high-responsibility professionals **pause, regulate, and recalibrate** — without checking out of real life or pretending one night fixes systemic pressure.
This is not a traditional conference or wellness workshop.
It is a **structured leadership reset** that blends evidence-informed teaching, guided nervous-system practices, shared reflection, and intentional nourishment.
Participants don’t just feel better for a moment.
They leave **more grounded, clearer, and steadier** — with tools they can actually use.
Plan before you build: Deterministic planning patterns for AI agents
Can your agents scale without bankrupting your API quota or your compute budget? Join this session to explore a production-ready architecture that uses the LLM Council pattern, Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Java and Spring AI, all deployed on Cloud Run. And discover how replacing probabilistic reason-and-act (ReAct) loops with LLM Council enable goal-oriented action planning (GOAP) creates agents that are not only smarter but also significantly lighter and faster – making them the perfect workload for serverless execution.
**About the venue**
Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk.

Columbus Code & Coffee 87 @ Improving
Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you!
**What to Expect at the Intro Circle**
\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~
Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup:
* Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics
Round 1 - (7 secs max):
* Your name
* What you're working on
* What you can help others with
Round 2:
* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
