AI Governance for Developers: How to Use AI Agents Safely Without Slowing Down
**Quick heads up: RSVPing here helps us gauge interest, but you’ll need to complete your registration on AI Camp to save your spot and get event updates. It only takes a minute. Sign up [here](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026021910) and you’re all** **set**.
**[https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026021910](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026021910)**
AI is already part of how developers work: Coding assistants. Autonomous agents. Background tasks. PR reviews. But in most companies, AI usage is either completely ungoverned or quietly blocked.
This meetup is for developers who want to understand what AI governance actually means in practice, without turning their workflow into a compliance nightmare.
We’ll focus on how teams are introducing guardrails that protect source code, credentials, and infrastructure while still letting developers move fast. No policy decks. No buzzwords. Just real examples of how AI agents are being used safely inside modern dev environments.
**You’ll walk away with:**
\- A clear understanding of what AI governance actually means for developers\, not just security teams
\- Insight into why AI agents need different permissions than humans and where most teams get this wrong
\- Practical examples of how guardrails can speed teams up instead of slowing them down
\- A simple mental model you can apply whether you’re experimenting with AI locally or rolling it out across a team
**Who this is for:**
\- Beginner → intermediate software developers
\- Platform engineers and DevOps folks supporting dev teams
\- Anyone using \(or wanting to use\) AI tools beyond simple autocomplete
**Agenda:**
\* 6:00pm\~6:30pm: Checkin, Food and Networking
\* 6:30pm\~6:45pm: Welcome/community update
\* 6:45pm\~8:30pm: Tech talks and Q&A
\* 8:30pm\~9:30pm: Open discussion & Mixer
Swing Academy UK Thursdays - Dance class/ social - Holborn 2026
Check out what we do:
[https://youtu.be/HSf4QTQpLQ0](https://youtu.be/HSf4QTQpLQ0)
Dance West Coast Swing in Holborn on Thursdays. Learn the partner dance taking Europe by storm. Come and join our already well established class night. Danced to a range of music from contemporary to blues, you can find a class in many of the major cities in Europe or America - so it's a great way to combine dance, travel and socialising.
The first class is FREE if you've haven't danced West Coast Swing before.
No experience, no partner, no problem! Only one trial night allowed per person. After this it's pay per night.
It's best to wear flat shoes, other than that come as you are!
Doors open at 7.20pm, come early to register and so you don't miss the start of the class. Beginners class starts 7.30pm sharp! Don't be late otherwise you will miss the fundamentals of the dance.
Here is the Facebook event - [https://fb.me/e/3bdhSXHW7](https://fb.me/e/3bdhSXHW7)

BBS Ballet Workout – RSVP
Time to get back to fitness! Another opportunity to get the best benefits from the ballet workout!
Barre workout, Pilates, Stretching & Body Conditioning - a perfect combination to create the best body, posture & confidence!
A unique combination of ballet exercises, Pilates, stretching and motivational techniques. It’s a high energy class targeted at developing a great posture, sculpting a dancer like waistline, bottom and shaping slim legs. The exercise program is based on building deep, lean and flexible muscle strength, helping to overcome any joint pains, including knee, shoulder or back, as well as creating a great physique. For those that already have some knowledge of ballet, or dance and classes which require coordination.
To teach at out event we are inviting a former international ballet pro to show the elements of Ballet, Pilates, Stretching, to develop a core strength, flexibility and a great posture, as well as mentally linking muscle memory, so the gains on posture are immediate and easily remembered.
You will need to bring a smile, some water and wear comfortable exercise cloths. The class will be 60 minutes which should be more than enough to get those muscles worked & conditioned.
The fee for the event : £28.-

FREE GUIDED TOUR: Italian Painters (Part II: Cinquecento) + Social
Gentle people,
It is my pleasure to invite you to Part II of Italian artists of the National Gallery, and an inebriated evening of socialisation at a nearby bar afterwards.
I will be giving a guided tour of the National Gallery to the members of LGBT Culture Lovers group, throughout this year in multiple parts. **\*\*There's no need to have attended previous sessions as I always recap\*\***
***In the second event of the series, we will be looking at the turn of the century and the early years of cinquecento (1500s).*** Included are **Mantegna, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael**, & many others. I will recap trecento and quattrocento with new artists and paintings.
The tour will last around 60 minutes. **And here is the agenda:**
* 2pm: (optional) meet at the café inside the National Gallery (Bar Giorgio -- it's right across the Sainsbury Wing entrance) for coffee and croissant and friendly chat
* 2:45pm: Meet in the foyer of the National Gallery (Sainsbury Wing Entrance). We will wait for 15 minutes.
* 3pm: The tour starts right on the dot.
* 4pm-4:30pm: We will head to a bar nearby for socialising and drink the gift of Bacchus.
If you are running late, we will in rooms 51-61.
I also have included an **optional reading list** for those who might feel inspired by this series of talks and tours and wish to delve deeper into Italian art history and the artists I discuss in Part II.
I hope to see you all for any part of this event.

FREE BACHATA CLASS & FREE ENTRY AT BAILANDO SUNDAYS - Be at one Regent ST
Kick off your week with music, movement, and great vibes. Come solo or with friends—no partner needed!
**Schedule (This Sunday):**
• 6:00PM – Free Bachata Taster
• 6:30 PM – Bachata Classes (3 Levels)
• 7:30 PM – Salsa Classes (3 Levels)
• 8:30 PM–12:30 AM – FREE Social Dancing (Salsa, Bachata, a touch of Kiz)
**What to expect:**
• Friendly teachers, clear level splits, and lots of practice time
• Great music and a welcoming crowd for all levels—absolute beginners to improvers
• Central location, easy transport, and good vibes all night
**Why social dancing is good for you:**
Social dancing is a fun workout that boosts your cardio, coordination, and posture—without feeling like “exercise.” It reduces stress, fires up your brain with musical timing and footwork patterns, and improves confidence through gentle challenges and quick wins. Dancing with different partners builds connection, empathy, and communication skills (you literally learn to “listen” with your body). It’s also an incredible way to make friends and feel part of a community—one song at a time.
Good to know:
• No partner or experience required
• Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and arrive a bit early for level check-in
• Classes start right on time—don’t miss your warm-up!
Price: £10 one class £12 two classes
6:30 PM class is FREE intro to bachata
RSVP now so we can plan levels and floor space. See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺

**Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
