We are back with a new AWS User Group Athens meetup, and this time we are going deep into serverless, long-running workflows and the new possibilities unlocked by AWS Lambda Durable Functions. Modern applications often need to coordinate retries, state, delays, callbacks, human-in-the-loop steps, and distributed business logic. Traditionally, that usually meant external orchestration, explicit state machines, or custom persistence logic. In this meetup, we will explore how AWS Lambda Durable Functions can simplify that model by letting developers express reliable, long-running workflows directly in familiar programming languages. We will have two technical sessions: first, a deep dive into the core concepts of AWS Lambda Durable Functions and how they compare with AWS Step Functions; then, a practical session on building resilient conversational AI workflows with Amazon Bedrock agents and the Sinch Conversation API. A big thank you to **Epignosis** for hosting us at their HQ for this meetup. **Important venue information** This meetup will take place at **Epignosis HQ**. Please check the map and venue instructions carefully before arriving. The venue’s security team will be checking IDs at the entrance. For this reason: * You must provide your **full name** when RSVPing. * You must bring a **valid ID** for entry. * RSVP will close **2 days before the event** so that the attendee list can be shared with the venue. Please make sure the name on your RSVP matches your ID. *** **Agenda** **18:00 – 18:30:** Entry & networking **18:30 – 19:20:** Deep Dive on AWS Lambda Durable Functions Speaker: [Lefteris Karageorgiou](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lefteriskarageorgiou) **19:30 – 20:20:** Building Conversational Agents in Code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions Speaker: [Gunnar Grosch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gunnargrosch/) **20:30 – open end:** Networking, 🍕🍻 *** **Session 1: Deep Dive on AWS Lambda Durable Functions** AWS Lambda Durable Functions makes it easier to build reliable, fault-tolerant applications using familiar programming languages like JavaScript, Python, and Java. In this session, we will explore how durable functions simplify retries, state management, and human-in-the-loop workflows for long-running processes, and how they compare with AWS Step Functions for orchestrating distributed applications. Through a live demo, you will learn how to use features like “steps” and “waits” directly in your IDE to handle failures, track progress, and orchestrate business logic with less complexity. **About the speaker** [Lefteris](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lefteriskarageorgiou/) is a Senior Solutions Architect at AWS with 20 years of experience in software engineering, specializing in serverless architectures. He is the author of the book **“Mastering Event-Driven Microservices in AWS”** and runs a weekly newsletter, **“The Cloud Engineers,”** where he shares insightful articles on cloud computing. Passionate about sharing his knowledge, Lefteris is a public speaker and frequently speaks at technical conferences such as AWS re:Invent, AWS Summits, and Devoxx. *** **Session 2: Building Conversational Agents in Code with AWS Lambda Durable Functions** Building multi-agent AI workflows usually requires complex state machines to handle unpredictable human delays. Building on the core concepts of AWS Lambda Durable Functions, this session dives into applied agent orchestration. We will coordinate Amazon Bedrock conversational agents using the Sinch Conversation API to handle inbound interactions. You will learn how to dispatch specialized AI agents, use callbacks to handle asynchronous human input natively, and build resilient, long-running chat architectures entirely in code. **About the speaker** [Gunnar Grosch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gunnargrosch/) is a Developer Advocate at Sinch and an engineer with over 25 years of experience building software, scaling developer communities, and making complex technology accessible. He started as a community member, became an AWS User Group Leader, was named an AWS Serverless Hero, and spent more than five years as a Developer Advocate at AWS, rising to Principal. Gunnar sits between the people who build the tools and the people who use them, making both sides better by bringing community feedback back to product teams. *** Whether you are building serverless applications, distributed workflows, AI agents, event-driven systems, or just want to understand where Lambda Durable Functions fit in the AWS ecosystem, this meetup is for you. Join us for deep technical content, practical demos, great speakers, and the usual AWS community networking.

When was the last time you really talked to a stranger? How often do you talk with people you don’t know? Do you sometimes struggle with how to start a conversation? Inspired by encounters across different countries, we're hosting a workshop built around one question: how do you connect with someone you don't know? The workshop draws from a toolkit we're developing throughout this residency, a practical, experimental and playful guide to building connections, talking to strangers, and feeling a little less alone in the world. We'll explore games, small experiments, and the underrated power of small talk. Whether you're a natural at meeting new people or working up the courage: Bring your curiosity and experiences and who knows, maybe we befriend someone who we did not know yet. Participant Numbers: 10

🇬🇷 **Athens, we're getting together — and this one's going to make you think differently.** The QA community in Athens is coming together on **June 4th** for an evening of bold ideas, sharp conversation, and the kind of networking that actually sticks. This edition explores two fascinating intersections that don't get talked about enough — what does linguistics have to do with Black Box Testing? And what happens when quality engineering meets SEO? More than you'd think on both counts. **AGENDA** **\- Welcome & Introductions** - **Featured Sessions:** **Knowing the Next Big Thing: Black Box Testing and Linguistics** *by Apostolos Moutiakas* When we test a system without knowing its internals, we're essentially decoding behaviour through inputs and outputs — not unlike how we interpret language. This session digs into that connection and what it means for how we approach quality. **The Engineering Side of SEO: Diagnosing Technical Website Failures** *by Anatoliy Molodechkin* SEO isn't just a marketing problem — it's an engineering one. This session explores how QA thinking applies to diagnosing and fixing the technical failures that silently hurt your website's performance. -**🍕F&B, Networking & Fun** Whether you're a seasoned QA engineer, a curious developer, or someone exploring the craft of software quality — this is an evening worth clearing your calendar for. Expect great conversation, good company, and networking with Athens' finest QA minds. **Spots are limited — RSVP now to secure yours!** 📍 Zone01, Athens 🗓️ Thursday, 4 June 2026 🕡 6:30 PM \| 3 Hours **A Few Notes:** ✅ This is an in-person event ✅ RSVP does not guarantee a seat — A confirmation email will be sent one day before the event.

Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships? This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? 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: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in 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 class is held at the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center.
