Let’s chat in a café.
Maybe for people aged 20–30, it’s a time of uncertainty—or a time full of opportunities. Why not share with friends or peers about what different industries and professions look like, and also talk about career planning?

### What can we talk about?
For example:
- Whether what you’re currently doing has prospects
- If you want to switch careers, where you would go next
- Whether you’re hoping to meet like-minded new people
- Or simply just chat casually
- Or you can just sit quietly and listen—no pressure
No formalities. If you feel it’s useful, stay longer. If you have things to attend to, feel free to leave anytime.
### Target audience
- Graduating students
- Young people who have just entered the workforce
- Friends who are considering a career change

Her Voice in Tech: Build a Bigger Table
**NOTICE: Space is Limited**
Please RSVP here, only if you are able to actually attend this *IN-PERSON opportunity* to network with other women at the **Ohio Valley DynamicsCon Regional event in Dublin, OH.** All times are Eastern.
Many women have experienced moments in their careers when asking for help felt uncomfortable, speaking up felt risky, or admitting they didn't have all the answers felt like a sign of weakness.
Yet the most successful leaders rarely succeed alone.
This interactive roundtable explores the confidence challenges many women face throughout their careers, the isolation that can come from believing you're the only one experiencing them, and the power of community in changing that narrative. Through candid discussion and shared experiences, participants will explore how to advocate for themselves, build trusted support networks, seek mentorship, navigate professional challenges, and support other women along the way.
At its core, this conversation is rooted in a simple belief: there is room for all of us. Success is not a limited resource, and leadership is not about earning one of a few available seats. It is about building bigger tables, pulling up more chairs, and creating opportunities for others as we grow.
This is not a lecture. It is a conversation.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies, new perspectives, meaningful connections, and renewed confidence to ask for help, offer support, and help create workplaces where more women can thrive together.
***Reminder, All times are Eastern for this In-Person Event!***
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.
**About Our Speaker:**
[Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

Our Site Building with Etch class provides detailed instructions on the philosophy of the Etch development framework, as well as in-depth, hands-on instruction on using the Etch environment and associated tools. Anyone familiar with Kevin Geary and the Digital Gravy set of products will tell you that they offer ground-breaking approaches to professional WordPress site development.
As we write this, the Etch toolset and environment are rapidly taking shape, with weekly quantum leaps forward in WordPress development methodologies. As early investors in the Etch product offering and its development process, we are actively testing and evaluating the toolset as it takes shape. We are beyond excited to see how WordPress site development is being modernized, and can't wait to bring this course set to you. It will be a paradigm shift in page and site development within WordPress, as well as moving your development mindset light-years forward.
Join us as we explore Etch and dive deep into development approaches that will genuinely elevate your craft as a website developer and agency provider. Scalable, responsive, compliant websites are now within easy reach, and Etch provides both the platform and toolset to take you there.
**The breakdown of the 10-class series is as follows:**

The series aims to equip participants with the skills to efficiently build, customize, and maintain WordPress websites using Etch, catering to both beginners and experienced web developers alike.
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
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.
