Can your agents scale without bankrupting your API quota or your compute budget? Join this session to explore a production-ready architecture that uses the LLM Council pattern, Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) for Java and Spring AI, all deployed on Cloud Run. And discover how replacing probabilistic reason-and-act (ReAct) loops with LLM Council enable goal-oriented action planning (GOAP) creates agents that are not only smarter but also significantly lighter and faster – making them the perfect workload for serverless execution. **About the venue** Free Times Cafe has bistro-style seating and a full food and drink menu. Please consider helping to support the venue by planning to have supper during the talk. **Speaker Bio** Dan Dobrin is an App Architect in Google Cloud, helping customer teams adopt modern AI technologies, cloud-native patterns, practices and technologies in GCP.

Prior to joining Google Cloud, he has built highly scalable, low-latency, frameworks for technology, security and financial services organizations.

**Moving from Conversation to Implementation** Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping workplaces, products, services, and decision-making systems across sectors. As organizations accelerate AI adoption, many teams are being asked to make high-impact decisions without clear governance structures, shared implementation standards, or practical guidance for assessing risk, accountability, accessibility, and long-term impact. Across workforce, technical, and community contexts, organizations are grappling with how to ensure AI is implemented in ways that are inclusive, responsible, and grounded in real-world realities. HR professionals, AI practitioners, nonprofit leaders, governance stakeholders, and community advocates each hold critical perspectives on how AI systems can either reinforce existing inequities or help build more equitable futures. This in-person QT Inclusive AI Roundtable brings together professionals across sectors for a facilitated cross-sector working session focused on one core question: **What do organizations actually need in order to implement inclusive AI responsibly in practice?** This session is designed as a collaborative implementation lab where leaders and professionals can explore the real-world challenges of implementing AI responsibly, share practical insights across sectors, and help shape the tools, frameworks, and approaches organizations need to move from theory into action. Through guided dialogue, peer exchange, implementation exercises, and collaborative activities, participants will explore: * where AI is already influencing organizational decisions and systems * the governance, operational, and accountability tensions organizations are navigating * how different sectors experience and define AI risks differently * where misalignments and gaps currently exist * what practical tools, frameworks, and supports are needed to move from theory into implementation Grounded in queer-informed approaches to systems, safety, accessibility, and community-centred accountability, this session centers lived experience as a critical source of implementation insight. Participants will examine how AI systems can unintentionally reproduce invisibility, exclusion, surveillance, or harm when deployed without meaningful community grounding or governance structures. This session is part of QueerTech’s broader initiative to move from conversation into practical implementation. Insights gathered through this roundtable will directly contribute to the development of community-informed toolkits, frameworks, case studies, and practical resources designed to support organizations implementing inclusive AI across sectors. The session will include both implementation perspective-based discussions and cross-sector exchange, creating space for participants to deepen within their own organizational realities while learning from different approaches, constraints, and experiences across the ecosystem. Participants are encouraged to bring: * real organizational scenarios * current implementation challenges * governance questions * operational tensions * decision points they are actively navigating **Following this roundtable, there is a QT Connect for the broader community at the same location in the evening.** **Participants will Leave With:** ✨ A clearer understanding of the governance, operational, and accountability challenges organizations are currently facing in AI implementation ✨ Cross-sector perspectives on how AI risks, tensions, and opportunities are experienced differently across workforce, technical, governance, and community contexts ✨ Greater insight into the practical tools, frameworks, and supports organizations need to move from intention into responsible implementation ✨ New ways of thinking about inclusion, safety, visibility, and accountability through queer-informed and lived-experience perspectives ✨ Practical ideas, questions, and next steps to bring back into their organization, team, or community ✨ Connections with peers across sectors navigating similar implementation realities and decision-making challenges ✨ The opportunity to contribute to the development of future QT Inclusive AI resources, frameworks, and toolkits This roundtable is supported by WAGE (Women and Gender Equality) Canada and by RBC’s approach to helping strengthen the capacity of Canada’s nonprofit sector. **Who Should Attend** This session welcomes professionals working across: * HR, workforce, and organizational leadership * AI, product, design, and technical systems * Nonprofit, public, and community-serving organizations * Governance, policy, accessibility, legal, and strategy roles * Research, advocacy, and ecosystem-building spaces No advanced technical expertise is required. **Event Details** 📅 May 28, 2026 🕑 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM ET 📍 Toronto \| In Person 🗣 Language: English **About QT Inclusive AI** QT Inclusive AI is a national initiative designed to support professionals across Canada in understanding, assessing, and applying inclusive AI practices within real organizational contexts. Through curriculum, assessment tools, facilitated dialogue, and community-informed resource development, participants examine how AI systems are being used in practice and where risks, tensions, and opportunities are emerging. The goal of QT Inclusive AI is to help translate responsible AI principles into practical implementation across technical and non-technical environments.

Building a company is one thing. Figuring out how to grow it is another. ​We are creating a room where founders think better, together. A curated gathering for founders who are working full-time on their business and already have something in the market. ​The format is simple: coffee, conversation, and real discussions around what it actually takes to sell, scale, and make better decisions as a founder. ​No panels. No pitches. No surface-level networking. ​Instead, expect a relaxed but focused space to share what you’re working on, what’s challenging right now, and what’s actually moving the needle. ​This is designed for founders who are actively building—not exploring ideas—so conversations stay relevant, practical, and high-signal. ​Space is limited to keep the room thoughtful and engaging.

From there, we’ll shift into nature and make our way toward Edwards Gardens, where things slow down with flowers, pathways, and a peaceful break in the middle of the walk. This is not a formal tour.

Tuesday, June 2nd, 5:00–8:30 PM Eastern Central Ohio Chapter Meeting IN PERSON IN COLUMBUS How I Get Private Lenders and Partners to Fund My Deals If you can’t fund it, you don’t have a deal.

You’ll hear how they’re finding money, structuring deals, and building relationships that lead to repeat funding. Here’s what you’ll learn: * Where they’re finding private lenders today * How they start conversations that lead to funding * What makes lenders and partners say YES * How they structure deals to be fundable * The biggest mistakes investors make when raising money * How to build repeat funding relationships **Early Session (6:00–7:00 PM Eastern):** **Having Trouble Finding Tenants?

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.
