You are warmly invited to share reflections with the group if you wish. Light conversation is welcome, though you are equally free to work quietly and focus in your own space.

There is no printer on site. This class is perfect for beginners - no prior experience is needed. This class is great for individuals and couples alike, as well as for a date idea, a birthday, a gift, or a hen do. **The venue has step-free access.** I can’t wait to see you, create together, and share good vibes! **Trinity Buoy Wharf** The workshop takes place at *Trinity Buoy Wharf* — a historic 19th-century site on the Thames, once home to the craftspeople who kept Britain's coastal waters safe, now reborn as one of London's most vibrant creative communities, home to artists' studios, a sculpture park, and London's only lighthouse. Arrive early or linger after — there is always something to discover. At weekends, you can visit the lighthouse, free of charge. Inside it, you can hear Longplayer, a thousand-year musical composition for singing bowls. Step inside, close your eyes, and let the resonance wash over you. An unexpected sound bath, and the perfect way to begin — or continue — the inner journey.

At Volary we are building the missing memory layer for AI agents. This talk explores how we think about the problem, what we've learned from building memory systems, and how better memory can take agents from stateless tools to workers that improve through experience. Peter is an engineering leader with two decades of experience. After several years working on text-to-speech at Google, he joined Thought Machine as a founding engineer. He later served as CIO on the executive team, leading Infrastructure as the company scaled to over 500 employees, achieving unicorn status along the way, and went on to lead development of Vault Payments, a universal payments platform for retail banks. He is now CEO of Volary, where he is applying that experience to building foundational infrastructure for AI agents. **[Artur Vartanyan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/artur-vartanyan/) @ [Canonical](https://canonical.com/)** **How Global Technology Alliances enable AI success** Artur will dive into how modern advances in artificial intelligence have been driven by major improvements in how customers experience and interact with AI. These advancements are largely enabled by strategic technological alliances. Instead of competing, leading tech companies are joining forces to make AI more accessible and impactful. This talk will explore the programs and tools that enable collaboration among technology companies in developing AI solutions, supported by real-world examples of successful alliances. Bio: Artur has 20+ years of business development experience in the IT industry across EMEA. Since January 2024 Artur has been working as Dell Alliance Manager at Canonical in London, UK to drive joint Canonical/Dell efforts in the AI, Cloud and Open Source. Prior to joining Canonical, he spent over 10 years at Dell Technologies (EMC) in various sales and leadership roles. Since 2016, Artur has been working as a visiting university professor and developed 12 educational programs on Big Data, IT Infrastructure and Digital Transformation for the leading universities in the CIS. He also authored 15 scientific publications on digital technologies, including SCOPUS. Holding a Phd in Economics, as well as honours degrees in Business Management and International Law, Artur was also certified in digital technologies by top universities (Oxford, Harvard, Stanford, INSEAD, Wharton, NYU) and global companies (Dell, IBM, Linux Foundation).

When hundreds of engineers rely on shared platforms, standards, guardrails, auditability, and developer experience can’t be afterthoughts. They must be embedded. Becoming AI‑native demands a new mindset: one where engineering systems govern themselves, teams move faster with trust, and AI becomes the multiplier across the entire technology organisation. Bio: Ezhil Suresh Chockalingham is a cross‑functional technology leader in UK Public Sector , specialising in transforming engineering organisations into AI‑native, autonomous delivery ecosystems. With a background spanning cloud, data platform engineering, developer experience, and large‑scale governance, Ezhil focuses on building high‑trust, self‑governing engineering systems that accelerate value creation across complex enterprises. Ezhil serves as a strategic bridge across engineering, product, and governance functions — championing adaptive standards, AI‑driven guardrails, and scalable platform capabilities that enable hundreds of engineers to deliver securely and autonomously. Their work is centred on moving organisations from static governance to dynamic, AI‑powered control planes that reshape how modern technology gets built.

That they’re “for later.”That you can’t touch them. That real estate and retirement money don’t mix. They’re wrong. This meetup is about how investors use **Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s** to put retirement capital to work…**buying real estate, funding deals, and even raising private money** (the right way). ### **Featured Guest Speaker: Amanda Holbrook** We’re excited to welcome **Amanda Holbrook of Specialized Trust Company** to break this down clearly and practically…so you understand what’s allowed, how it works, and what to avoid. ### **What You’ll Learn** Amanda will walk through: **Flip inside a Self-Directed IRA or Solo-401(k)** * How to structure the deal correctly * How expenses must be handled * When UBIT may apply **Wholesale within a retirement account** * How assignments work * What type of income it creates **Use OPM (Other People’s Money) to scale** * How investors raise private money from Self-Directed IRAs * How to structure notes properly * How to fund deals inside **and** outside your own retirement account ### **The Core Idea** There is a lot of capital sitting in retirement accounts. This session shows you how real estate investors unlock it **without guessing, winging it, or accidentally creating a compliance mess.** ### **Who This Event Is For** * Investors flipping or wholesaling who want to understand self-directed rules * Anyone raising private money (or wanting more capital sources) * People with retirement funds who want them working harder than stocks/mutual funds ### **Event Details** **Location:** Ohio Brewing Company – 421 E 2nd Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 **Date & Time:** Thursday, March 26th, 6–8 PM *(Doors open at 5:30)* **Cost:** Free *(Seats are limited — RSVP required)* **Food:** Free food included **FREE meetup.
