Survive the Future – money & insurance
Bitcoin goes to the moon! -now what? You need insurance, because once you’ve made it, you need to protect it. Protect your private keys. Protect your people.
We talk about risk in crypto all the time and there are many. But there’s one risk many of us ignore: what happens to your stack if something happens to you?
Tonight we talk about insurance. An off-chain hedge for your on-chain wealth because some risks do not happen on the blockchain. Life is unpredictable, financial peace of mind is important.
Rebecca Abela has a background in marketing and works with [LifeStar](https://www.lifestarinsurance.com/about) as Tied Insurance Intermediary. For over 60 years LifeStar protected generations of wealth builders.
Also presenting, Cameron Innes is heading [vc.fun ](http://www.vc.fun/)for internet capital markets for the next generation of startups.
Stay safe – not only on-chain but also in real-life.

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.
