The Lineup for the evening
**Talk 1: Text2SQL in the Wild — Agentic Workflows & Semantic Models on Customer Data**
**Abstract**: Translating a business user's natural language question into a reliable SQL query has huge value for business analysts, but doing it accurately at scale, on messy enterprise data, for complex queries, is incredibly difficult. This talk walks through a production Text2SQL system built on four pillars: semantic models built on customer data, RAG-based semantic search, an agentic verification and correction loop for building the SQL, and an evaluation framework for the entire process.
Raw schema information is not enough for text2sql to work. Rather, thorough documentation including business metrics, synonyms, and qualified example queries, are required. We'll cover how to automate this documentation pipeline by mining query logs, generating descriptions with LLMs, and organizing everything into a knowledge graph and vector search index. From there, we'll dive into the agentic flow that takes a user question and iteratively generates, validates, and fixes SQL against a live database. The agentic framework analyses syntax errors and execution results to help it fix the SQL. Participants will leave with practical takeaways on RAG architecture for structured data, agentic retry patterns, and how to think about evaluation for Text2SQL systems in production.
**Speaker**: Oren Matar
**Bio**: Oren Matar is a principal data scientist and algorithms developer, with a background in social sciences and Bayesian methods. He specializes in NLP and time series forecasting, as well as agentic methods for data retrieval and processing.
**Talk 2: Interpreting and Communicating Statistical Models**
**Abstract**: Extracting actionable insights from complex statistical models remains a challenge, as raw coefficients are often uninterpretable due to nonlinearity, interactions, or hierarchical structures. This talk introduces a unified framework for model interpretation based on the principles of the Marginal Effects project ([https://marginaleffects.com/](https://marginaleffects.com/)). We move away from internal model parameters toward quantities of interest, such as marginal effects and adjusted predictions that translate statistical output into the "natural language" of the data.
We will demonstrate these concepts in Python using the Bambi interpret module, showcasing a seamless workflow for interpreting Bayesian models built on PyMC. The audience will learn how to use the four primary interpretative pillars: Predictions, Comparisons, Slopes, and Marginal Means to compute average marginal effects and visualize conditional relationships. By the end of this session, you will be equipped to turn sophisticated GLMs and multi-level models into clear, rigorous narratives that are easily communicated to stakeholders.
**Speaker**: Juan Orduz
**Bio**: Juan is a Mathematician (Ph.D. Humboldt Universität zu Berlin) and Principal Data Scientist at PyMC Labs. He is interested in interdisciplinary applications of mathematical methods. In particular, time series analysis, Bayesian methods, and causal inference.
**Lightning talks**
There will be slots for 2-3 Lightning Talks (3-5 Minutes for each) between the two main talks.
Kindly let us know if you would like to present something :)

Access Bars Class - English
There’s a peace and relaxation possible for everyone, that can occur with total ease, with a simple body process, called Access Bars ®

Best, everyone can learn this body process in a one day class. You can give the Bars® to your family and friends and to your clients. And of course you can let the Bars run also on yourself.
Access Bars ® and Bodyprocess classes in English take place once a month, classes in German twice a month. Just ask for your desired date.
Would this class be a contribution to your body, to your life, your business? Then I would like to have you in a one-day Access Bars.
Consider this your invitation to a totally different paradigm for healing, change and transformation in all aspects of your life.
The Access Bars class fee is 380 Euro, Practitioner License, Manual, Charts, food and drinks included.

Prompting Is Not Magic: How to Give AI Better Context
Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless.
But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one.
We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows.
No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with.
**What you’ll learn:**
* Why “better prompting” is really about better context
* How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers
* How to use examples, constraints, and output formats
* How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough
* How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows
This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI.
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.

Why Real Estate Investors Should Become Licensed Agents (And When Not To)
REGISTER HERE: [SIGN UP TODAY](https://link.elitereimm.com/widget/form/mUCJcb9LFDGoPqRg82jP?am_id=debbie4540)
Should a real estate investor get a real estate license? Sometimes it’s a massive advantage… and sometimes it can complicate your business if you don’t know what you’re walking into.
In this training, we’ll cut through the “agents vs investors” drama and focus on one thing: **what makes you more money and gives you more leverage**.
You’ll learn:
* **When being licensed helps investors win** (better access, better data, better terms, better deal flow)
* How investors use a license to **create extra profit centers** (commissions, referrals, listings, buyer rep, property management pathways)
* The truth about **MLS access, pocket listings, and being first to the good deals**
* How licensing impacts **wholesaling, double-closing, assignments, and disclosures**
* What brokerages don’t tell you: **fees, splits, compliance, and time requirements**
* When it’s smarter to **partner with an agent** instead of becoming one
* A simple decision framework: **licensed vs partnered vs hybrid model**
You’ll walk out knowing whether licensing fits your goals—and if it does, the cleanest path to do it without slowing down your investing.
