Join us for an evening focused on how AI agents are moving from experiments to real production work! **Agenda:** **18:00** Gathering, food & drinks **18:30** Sherlock: monday.com’s tickets investigator - The story of an agentic workflow, from POC to production **19:00** First AId Kit **Talk Abstracts:** **Sherlock: monday.com’s tickets investigator - The story of an agentic workflow, from POC to production** What does an agent that actually works on real production tickets look like? In this talk, I’ll share the story behind Sherlock, a supervisor agent that started as a personal initiative, born from identifying a recurring pattern in ticket investigations: data collection, analysis, synthesis, and drawing conclusions. We’ll walk through the journey from a POC built during an internal hackathon, through designing an agentic workflow based on LangChain and LangGraph, writing prompts that embody a way of thinking and an understanding of the product and business context, and integrating with organizational analytics and observability systems. We’ll also cover the real challenges of moving to production: splitting agents by responsibility, context limits, guardrails, human-in-the-loop, architectural changes, and measuring impact. **First AId Kit** What if we could move a big chunk of bug fixing and solving production issues to agentic AI? That would be so cool. In this talk we will go through the end to end process of setting up a background agentic workflow that detects production errors, finds their root causes, assesses the right solution and opens a PR - so you wake up in the morning to tasks almost fully completed for you by your loyal agent. Together We will go over the entire process - the infra challenges, the agentic accuracy issues, and the final result used nowadays in real, massive production environments. Production issues still slow teams down. Finding the root cause is noisy, fixing it is manual, and the cycle continues. But how do you break that loop? In this session, you’ll see how you can wire production context into an AI agent that not only detects failing endpoints, but also traces the root cause, proposes a fix, and opens a pull request automatically. **Bios** **Kamie Shami-Schnitzer - Senior Full Stack Developer** Kamie is an engineering team lead at [monday.com](http://monday.com/) with 5+ years of experience as a software developer, with a degree both in Computer science and Biology from Tel-Aviv university.

As data ecosystems evolve, the transition to a Lakehouse architecture has become the standard for organizations seeking flexibility and scalability. But how do you manage it correctly without being tethered to unpredictable cloud costs or getting lost in file management? In this meetup, we’ll explore the practical side of managing an Iceberg Lakehouse – from building a 100% open-source stack to achieving optimal compaction in Apache Spark. We’ll dive into how to maintain high performance, keep your data organized, and stay in full control of your metadata. 18:00–18:30 → 🍕 Welcome Drinks & Networking 18:30–19:15 → Escape the Clouds: Building a Pure Open Source Lakehouse// Yoav Nordmann, Backend Architect, Tech & Group Lead @ Tikal Are you tired of vendor lock-in and the unpredictable costs of proprietary data warehouses? Join us for a deep dive into building a 100% open-source data stack that doesn't compromise on performance. We will start by constructing a high-performance warehouse including compute, storage, and observability, then expand into a full-scale Lakehouse. Learn how to integrate Apache Iceberg and manage it with cutting-edge tools, ensuring you own your data, metadata, and compute-without the "cloud tax." 19:15–20:00 → Getting Compaction Right in Apache Spark // Ehud Eliaz, Chief Architect and Co-Founder @ DualBird Compaction is a fundamental operation in Spark-based data lakes, yet getting it right is far from trivial. This talk breaks down how compaction is actually performed in Apache Spark and how it is used with open table formats like Apache Iceberg. We’ll focus on the practical side of running compaction at scale: critical configuration choices, Spark's behavior during runtime, and where performance issues tend to appear. Walk away with a clear picture of what “good” compaction looks like in real-world systems. **Important Note:** To help us prepare for seating, please complete your registration on Luma.

Confidence can be cultivated in many ways—through reflection, conversation, creativity, and practice. In this Confidence Lab session, we’ll explore one powerful pathway: **building confidence from the inside out through physical expression and movement**. This experience is designed to help you reconnect with your body as a source of insight, self-trust, and presence. We’ll begin by grounding into what’s bringing you here, creating space to notice how your body is showing up and what it’s holding. From there, you’ll be guided through accessible movement exercises that invite awareness and choice—isolating different parts of the body, experimenting with movement, and practicing what it feels like to take up space intentionally. Next, you’ll participate in a small-group dance lesson led in a supportive, low-pressure environment. No dance experience is needed. The focus is not on performance or perfection, but on expression, curiosity, and allowing yourself to move with confidence as you are. We’ll close with a reflective group discussion, exploring what emerged during the experience and how these insights can be applied beyond the studio—how you inhabit your body, how you carry yourself, and how you show up in everyday life. **What to know:** * Wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you feel good moving in * No dance experience required * Light snacks and beverages will be provided This session is for anyone interested in deepening their relationship with confidence by listening to their body, expanding their capacity for self-expression, and practicing self-love as an embodied experience. **Featured Speaker: Mary Grace** Mary Grace, the dynamic force behind MG Choreography & Boutique, has been transforming special occasions with her unique blend of artistry and passion for over seven years. As a proud Latina, with Venezuelan and Mexican heritage, Mary brings a rich cultural perspective to every choreography she creates. Her dedication to dance is matched only by her commitment to empowering others through the joy and elegance of movement. Mary’s journey began with a simple passion for dancing, which quickly grew into a thriving business. She specializes in crafting personalized choreography for weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens, ensuring each event is unforgettable. Determined to make a significant impact in Ohio, Mary established the first-of-its-kind brick-and-mortar location that not only offers a space to practice these beautiful dances but also provides a boutique experience for purchasing or renting exquisite dresses and tuxedos for these special moments. Mary Grace is more than just a business owner; she is a trailblazer for Latina women in the community, dedicated to bringing elegance, joy, and a touch of her vibrant heritage to every event she touches. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome!
