M2M Machine-to-Machine

This meetup is reserved for attendees who: 1. Sign up on Luma to secure your spot – [https://luma.com/z4y4pkwe](https://luma.com/z4y4pkwe) 2. Have had their request accepted 3. Can show ID for entry If you haven't received an invitation yet, you won't be able to join, but we'd love to have you at future events. ​We called this event **AI Under Control** because the question is no longer whether AI can be used in production. It’s whether the systems around it are strong enough to keep working when real-world pressure hits. ​That’s especially true in databases and enterprise operations, where mistakes do not roll back cleanly and “mostly works” is not good enough. The real challenge is not just deploying AI, but keeping control of the operational foundations it depends on. ​On **18 June**, Innovators Guild brings together two people looking at that problem from different angles. ​**Richard Conway**, Group CTO at Acora, will open with **Slow Down to Speed Up: The Operational Reality of Enterprise AI**. He’ll look at what happens when AI-assisted changes meet real enterprise environments, and why the safest way to move faster is often to first tighten the systems, process, and controls around them. ​**Huxley Kendell**, Solution Engineer at Redgate, will give the main technical talk, **AI Done Safely: Lessons from Database Deployments**. He’ll walk through where AI actually helps in production systems, where it doesn’t, and how to structure things so it doesn’t quietly become a liability. Drawing on real deployments, this is a practical look at agentic and AI-assisted approaches, with honest takes on what works and what blows up. ​**Agenda** 18:00 Doors open. Come early, grab a drink and pizza, and talk to people. 18:45 Talks begin. After the talks, beer and pizza, and the conversations that usually turn out to be the most useful part of the evening. ​This is an Innovators Guild event. We keep the room to around 70 people, mostly mid-senior engineers, scientists, and technical founders who have actually shipped the kind of systems being discussed. ​Registration on Luma is required and subject to host approval, and you will need valid photo ID to access the building on the night. ​**Redgate** is sponsoring the guest experience. **Fresha** is the venue sponsor. ​**Speakers** Richard Conway on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardelastacloud?utm_source=luma) Huxley Kendell on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/huxleykendell?utm_source=luma) ​Innovators Guild, a curated London tech community, [https://innovators.london](https://innovators.london/?utm_source=luma).

The discotheque gets disco-technical at **Rock The Docs**! This double headline bill sees **[Marco Spinello](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marco-spinello/)**, Technical Writer at [Booking.com](http://booking.com/) showing us how music theory can be applied to documentation, using examples from both his professional and creative life. Following this act, **[Jerry Bartlett](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-bartlett-content-pro-tech/)**, founder and principal at [Content Pro Tech](https://www.contentprotech.com/) will demonstrate how the fundamentals of technical writing can be applied to gathering and organising metadata for digital music libraries. These presentations will cover: *Why Git is like a metronome - Why managing stakeholders is not unlike managing band members *Why recording an album is not unlike delivering an MVP - How metadata underpins the algorithms of streaming services *How curating metadata is a key aspect of technical writing work - The difference between descriptive metadata and management metadata **Marco Spinello** tells the story of a disco band that shrank from eight members to a power trio, not unlike a company reorganisation with a built-in product pivot. Music and technical writing have more in common than meets the eye; music theory maps the territory like information architecture, a metronome enforces discipline like git, and song dynamics prevent the "wall of text" effect of very long, very dense docs. **Jerry Bartlett** discusses how uploading his music collection to a NAS drive found him drawing on skills honed during his day job as a technical communicator, and working on striking a balance between the right level of granularity, while making sure to not have ‘too much’ metadata. This event is kindly hosted by [Wise](https://wise.com/). **📅Agenda** **When:** Thursday, 18 June, from 6:30pm **Where:** Wise, 65 Clifton Street, London EC2A 4JE **What:** **18:30 - 19:00** Arrival **19:00 - 19:15** Welcome & Housekeeping **19:15 - 19:20** Short introduction to Wise **19:30 - 20:00** Rocks the Docs by Marco Spinello **20:00 - 20:30** Jerry's presentation **20:30 - 21:00** Networking **📍How to find us**: Please head to Wise, 65 Clifton Street, London EC2A 4JE, from 6:30pm onwards -- one of the friendly Write The Docs London team will be checking guests in. 🌎 **Google Maps**: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/r6zdmeDKhyAbLbaf7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/r6zdmeDKhyAbLbaf7) 📜 **What3Words**: [///lift.send.curiosity](https://what3words.com/lift.send.curiosity) 📷 **Photos:** Please note that the organisers may take some photos for the WTD group.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided! Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site. ###

This is an in-person meeting. Would you like to know the Real You, not just a shadow of yourself? Does your life energy feel somehow trapped within? Does your self-confidence get easily shaken? Do you get in the way of your own goals? We will discuss the real source of all this, what holds you back in life, and how to handle it so you can achieve more successful and happier living. Perhaps you get weighed down with negative emotions you can't seem to shrug off. Or find yourself doing strange and irrational things - not really being yourself. We will cover why that is and tools that work to help you unearth your self, your self-confidence and motivation. This meeting will help you learn about how to effectively overcome: -Out-of-control unwanted emotions -Low self-esteem -Anxiety -Negativity -Stress -Irrational fears -Traumatic or painfully emotional incidents -Breakups -Betrayals -Feeling like you're not really yourself -Self-doubt... We will discuss how to unleash the inner you and tap into your true potential. So come to this online meetup! This meeting is sponsored by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
