Join us for a community-driven re:Cap session where [Thanasis Daglis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tdaglis/) and [Konstantinos Siaterlis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/siaterliskonstantinos/) will break down the most important launches and updates from AWS re:Invent 2025 — focusing on practical impact, real-world use cases, and what you should pay attention to in 2026. **Format** Short focused presentations + interactive discussion + networking. Bring your questions, insights, and opinions — this is a community event, not a marketing session. **What We’ll Cover** • The most interesting and impactful releases • AI & Generative AI highlights • Data, security & platform engineering updates • Cost & strategic considerations **Who Should Attend** * Cloud Engineers & Architects * DevOps & Platform Teams * Data Engineers * Security Practitioners * Tech Leads & CTOs * Anyone building on AWS Whether you attended re:Invent, watched the keynotes remotely, or missed everything — this session will help you quickly understand what’s new and what’s worth exploring.

Register for free **ONLY** here: https://friends.figma.com/events/details/figma-athens-presents-ai-curiosity-amp-a-bit-of-chaos-with-workable/ 🚀 **Τhree designers, three short talks, and one shared obsession.👀** Avra, Margarita, and Stefania from Workable are pulling back the curtain on what happens when AI enters the design process, and doesn't leave quietly. Through three case studies — an AI agent, a UX game built from data, and Workable Reporting — they'll uncover how AI can expand creativity, speed up prototyping, and introduce a fair bit of chaos along the way. *No hype. No magic tricks. Just real experiments, a few failures, and lessons learned the hard way.* Come find out. 🗓️ **Thursday, 5th of March 2026, at 19:00** **📍 Zone01 Athens, Kidonion 136, Nea Ionia.** **And one more thing:** we're excited to announce a new collaboration with **Mobbin**, a curated library of real app UI screenshots and flows, built for designers who want fast, quality inspiration.

Stop accepting things just because “that’s how they’ve always been done.” This is the moment to disrupt outdated biases, to step into spaces where we were never expected to belong, and to rewrite the rules about who gets to shape the future of technology. #WTMGreece #WTMIWD #WTMBreakThePattern #IWD2026 #GDGAthens 💬 Agenda ◾ 11:30 - 11:55 Registration & Welcome ◾ 11:55 - 12:00 Opening remarks 🎤 Magy Kontou/Eleni Antonopoulou/Vasiliki Dalakiari Women Techmakers Ambassadors ◾ 12:00 - 12:40 🎤 Hara Ledaki - Principal Product UX/UI Designer @Persado & Co-founder @Choose Your Fate 💬 From Vision to Decision: Acting as the CEO of Your Own Life ◾ 12:40 - 13:20 🎤 Vasso Kalaitzidou - Head of Category Management & Merchandising at Skroutz 💬 Can AI do your job?

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Our monthly PHP meetup. A virtual shindig courtesy of Zoom. Check back here for the details around 6:15 pm

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. 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. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
