Découvrez l'art de l'improvisation théâtrale dans une ambiance bienveillante et créative. La volonté de la Katapulte compagnie et de son équipe pédagogique est d'offrir un cursus d'apprentissage solide pour ses élèves. C'est pour cette raison que nous organisons nos cours en niveaux pour apporter un maximum de bienveillance mais aussi de rigueur pour que chaque élève puisse s'épanouir efficacement dans la pratique du théâtre d'improvisation. Le cours débutant du mardi de 20h avec Bertrand en est l'occasion et nous serons ravi de vous initier à cet art. Contactez nous pour faire votre cours d' essai à katapulte.contact@gmail.com

**Attention, nous testons une soirée à deux villages, et nous ne serons pas dans notre lieu habituel.** Si les inscriptions sont pleines, nous ferons deux villages de 12. Soirée Trouble Brewing, une valeure sûre, qui **convient aux joueur(se)s de tous niveaux**. Si c'est votre toute première partie de Blood on the Clocktower (quelle chance !), je recommande de tout de même plutôt rejoindre une de nos sessions pour joueur(se)s débutant(e)s, nous y expliquons les règles en détail. **Soirée enquête, bluff et intrigues au Five.** Venez (re)découvrir cette petite pépite du jeu d'intrigue qu'est Blood on the Clocktower, à mi-chemin entre un loup-garou et une murder mystery : incarnez le temps d'un soir un des habitants du village de Ravenswood Bluff, et enquêtez, bluffez, collaborez avec les autres joueurs pour faire la lumière sur la malédiction qui ronge le village de l'intérieur. Ou jouez pour le camp du mal, et avancez dans l'ombre pour semer le doute et la discorde parmi vos concitoyens. * Soirée Trouble Brewing, une valeure sûre, qui **convient aux joueur(se)s de tous niveaux**. * Nous serons accueillis au bar "le Five", qui nous met à disposition un espace de jeu. * Participation gratuite, par contre nous serons dans un bar, donc pensez à consommer.

Venez échangez sur vos usages et challenges Atlassian dans une ambiance conviviale ! Plus d'info à venir mais le thème sera l'agilité avec Atlassian et l'événement se tiendra à Levallois-Perret. Agenda --- Hosted By JG Meillaud, Community Leader Hello, I’m an independent Atlassian consultant working full-time for France Télévisions (French public broadcast organisation). I love running this little in-house Jira shop. I’ve been managing projects and implementing collaboration tools since in 2012 and the Atlassian products and events have been instrumental in my career. I think the job has evolved a lot in this time, from implementing pretty much anything following exotic requirements, to the art of challenging needs and crafting smart and simple solutions while continuously cleaning up our mistakes of the past! Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about that :) Outside of work, I’m quite outdoorsy, I love hiking, sailing and rock climbing, but also quite into board games. Walid SALHI, Expert Atlassian ACE Paris --- Global Partner Atlassian (http://atlassian.com) Millions of users globally rely on Atlassian products every day for improving software development, project management, collaboration, and code quality. For over a decade, Atlassian customers have come together to network, share ideas, solve problems, and find new ways to use Atlassian products. Today, more than 15,000 people take part in Atlassian community events in more than 30 countries. --- Complete your event RSVP here: https://ace.atlassian.com/events/details/atlassian-paris-presents-ace-paris-lagilite-avec-atlassian/.

**MUG Paris Workshop** : Créer des Agents IA autonomes avec MongoDB Atlas , Amazon Bedrock & AWS Salut à tous ! ✨ Pour cette nouvelle session technique, nous avons le plaisir de vous inviter à explorer la prochaine frontière de l'IA Générative ! Le RAG n'était qu'une première étape : l'industrie évolue désormais vers les **Agents IA autonomes**. Rejoignez-nous pour un workshop complet alliant théorie et pratique, où nous dépasserons le simple chatbot pour construire des agents capables d'agir concrètement sur vos données. 🤝 📅 **Au programme :** * **18h15 – 18h45 :** 📝 Accueil, Check-in, warm-up snacks & Networking. * **18h45 - 20:40 ☁️ Workshop : De la Théorie à la Pratique** Cette session débutera par une exploration approfondie des fondations nécessaires aux architectures IA modernes. Nous plongerons dans le fonctionnement des bases de données vectorielles (**Vector DB Deep Dive**) et analyserons les meilleures stratégies de chunking ainsi que le choix des modèles d'embedding. Nous aborderons ensuite le concept des Agents IA autonomes, en mettant un accent particulier sur les défis actuels ("pain points") liés à la sécurité et à l'évaluation des solutions de type **Agentic RAG**. La seconde partie sera consacrée à la mise en pratique via un **Hands-On Lab** interactif. Nous connecterons la puissance de **MongoDB Atlas** aux Knowledge Bases d'**Amazon Bedrock** pour construire une application robuste. Vous apprendrez à mettre en œuvre une indexation vectorielle **multi-modale** (texte et image) et à orchestrer une architecture agentique complexe en utilisant **AWS, LangChain et LangGraph**, permettant ainsi de créer des solutions capables de raisonner et d'agir dynamiquement. * **20h40 – fin :** 🍕 Clôture, Apéro & Networking. Avec nos experts invités : **Mariem Jabloun** (AI & Cloud Architect : De-Risking AI Solutions) & **El-Fadel BONFOH** (Architect DevOps) . ⚠️ **Prérequis : N'oubliez pas votre ordinateur portable pour pouvoir suivre la partie pratique !** 💻 📍 **Lieu :** *[AWS France,](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Jek5EE9hLY4moPb7) Tour Carpe Diem, 31 Pl. des Corolles, 92400 Courbevoie* ⏰ **Horaires :** 18h15 - 21h00 💡 **Pourquoi venir ?** Pour maîtriser l'architecture Serverless sur AWS, créer votre propre agent, découvrir comment passer du RAG aux Agents actifs, et échanger avec des experts Data & DevOps dans une ambiance conviviale. On vous attend nombreux ! 🙌

Salut les TypeScripters, c'est parti pour le 46ème Paris TypeScript ! Un grand merci à notre hébergeur pour cet event : Yomeva (🌐 [Web](https://yomeva.com/)). N'hésitez pas à proposer vos talks via notre **[repository Github](https://github.typescript.paris)**. Le programme : **Talk #1** *Titre* : Créer un projet multi agent IA en Typescript *Auteur* : Mohamed GUEDDOURI ([LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohamed-gueddouri-a0765838/)) *Durée* : 20 min *Description* : L’IA ne se limite pas forcément à un simple prompt à un LLM: aujourd’hui, on parle d’agents intelligents capables de collaborer entre eux. Dans ce talk, nous verrons comment concevoir un projet Multi-Agent IA en TypeScript, en nous appuyant sur LangChain, depuis la théorie jusqu’à une implémentation concrète. **Talk #2** *Titre* : Écrire moins de tests avec l'analyse statique *Auteur* : Arnaud Barré ([Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/arnaud-barre.bsky.social)) - Software engineer @Carbometrix *Durée* : 20 min *Description* : Dans ce talk, je vais vous expliquer comment, chez Carbometrix, nous maintenons une application métier en TypeScript depuis plus de trois ans en nous appuyant principalement sur l’analyse statique — et comment certains bugs ont été éliminés grâce à de la codegen ou des règles de lint, plutôt que par des tests. **Talk #3** *Titre* : Building native Node.js Application in 2026 *Auteur* : Jean Burellier ([LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanburellier)) *Durée* : 20 min *Description* : Node.js has quietly evolved into a fully-fledged native application platform. In 2026, building production-grade Node.js applications no longer means stacking layers of frameworks and dependencies. It means embracing what the runtime already provides. This talk explores how modern Node.js enables native-first development through built-in tooling (test runner, permissions, loaders, watcher), Web-standard APIs, improved performance, and tighter alignment with system capabilities. We’ll look at how to design simpler, faster, and more secure applications by relying on core features instead of third-party abstractions, and how this shift changes the way we architect, test, and deploy Node.js systems. The goal: fewer dependencies, clearer mental models, and Node.js applications that feel native, by design.

It's cinema... without a script. Each night, the audience's ideas inspire four brand-new "films," performed live on stage. From epic fantasy to wacky westerns and painfully awkward rom-coms... you suggest it, the actors bring it to life! After every round, the audience votes one story off the reel until only one survives... the blockbuster of the night! Fast, funny, and unpredictable, this improv show turns movie magic into comedy mayhem. The chaos is brought to you by Foreign Exchanged, a motley crew of international improvisers from all over the world — India, the US, Russia, Colombia, Lebanon, Moldova, France and beyond — making their way through Paris, one English faux pas at a time. Come for the accents, stay for the laughter. please book here https://www.billetreduc.com/spectacle/spectacle-d-improvisation-en-anglais-381367

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters. It's time to explore! With the Society coming off of their recent victory in finally defeating an old enemy, they choose to turn to refocus on the goals of the Pathfinder Society: Explore! Report! Cooperate! As a celebration for such a successful year, there's a party being hosted with all sorts of friends both new and old in attendance. However, when one of Fola Barun's dear friends needs to be entertained in order to prepare a surprise, it's up to the Pathfinders to show him around the famous Maze of the Open Road. When he starts to encourage exploration, new doors appear and new adventures await! *Intro: Year of Unfettered Exploration* is the introduction to the plot of the Year of Unfettered Exploration. This scenario presents characters and themes that will feature in Year 5's metaplot, and so it is is a natural starting point for players looking to jump into the action. Written by Sen H.H.S. **Scenario tags**: Metaplot (Unfettered Exploration), Faction (Envoy's Alliance), Repeatable
