That’s the challenge behind Techie Taboo, a fun and interactive card game created by ragTech. Inspired by the classic party game Taboo, Techie Taboo challenges players to explain technical concepts while avoiding a list of “forbidden” words that people normally rely on. The result is a hilarious and surprisingly insightful game where techies and non techies alike learn to communicate complex ideas in simpler, more human ways. Whether you're a developer, student, founder, or just curious about technology, Techie Taboo turns learning about tech into a collaborative and entertaining experience. It’s designed to spark conversations, improve how we explain technology, and make tech more approachable for everyone. Come join us for a round and see if you can explain tech without the usual jargon. https://ragtechdev.com/techie-taboo **About ragTech** We're three Singapore-based technologists who seek to demystify technology in human terms, so people can engage with it thoughtfully rather than passively. Through storytelling, playful learning, and applied research, we help people understand how tech works, how it affects society, and how to engage with it responsibly. https://ragtechdev.com \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Schedule:** 7:00 to 7:15 - Event Registration & Networking 7:15 to 7:20 - Introductory Remarks 7:30 to 8:00 - Topic 1 8:00 to 9:00 - Topic 2 9:00 - Supper **About JuniorDevSG:** JuniorDevSG is a developer interest group that focuses on providing a place for junior developers to learn and network with each other.

AU SG-TW: A Touch of Taiwan (Sharing Session)
AU SG-TW: A Touch of Taiwan (Sharing Session)
**The journey to Taiwan starts here.** They’ve hiked the rugged ridges of the Central Mountain Range, watched the sea of clouds from Yushan, and navigated the mystical forests of Alishan. Now, our **AU Taiwan (AUT)** Event Hosts are flying into Singapore to meet you! At Adventures Unlimited, we don’t believe in "outsourcing" your experience. We believe in family. That’s why we’ve brought our Taiwan team to our home base—so you can hear their stories, feel their passion, and get to know the people who will be leading you through the breathtaking landscapes of Taiwan. ### What to Expect: This isn't your typical travel slideshow. It’s an intimate evening of storytelling and insider tips from the people who live and breathe the Taiwanese trails. * **The "Secret" Taiwan:** Beyond the famous peaks, our EHs will share their favorite hidden gems and lesser-known trails. * **Life on the Trail:** What is it really like to hike in Taiwan? From mountain hut culture to the unique flora and fauna you’ll encounter. * **Meet the Faces of AUT:** A chance to chat 1-on-1 with our Taiwanese hosts and ask the questions that only a local can answer. ### Who should attend? * Anyone curious about hiking in Taiwan (from beginners to seasoned trekkers). * AU members who have already booked an upcoming Taiwan trip. * Anyone who wants to experience the "AU Difference" and meet our extended regional family. **Note:** This is a free community event, but space is limited to ensure everyone has a chance to interact with our guests. Come for the stories, stay for the community. We can't wait to see you there. **To a life of adventures,** Simon and Huilian

Register at [bit.ly/gdgsg-mar26am](https:bit.ly/gdgsg-mar26am) \-\-\- **⚡ From Architect to Orchestrator** Vibe-coding isn’t just a trend; it’s a superpower. The era of wrestling with boilerplate and getting stuck in syntax loops is over. This morning is about reclaiming your creativity by using Gemini 3.1 to handle the heavy lifting while you take your place as the Conductor of the Code. If you’ve ever wanted to build a complex, agent-led application just by talking to your machine, this is your morning. **🛠 Bring Your Laptop!** This isn't a "sit back and watch" session. We want you in the IDE (AI Studio and Antigravity), hands on the keys, experimenting with Gemini 3.1 Pro and/or Flash-Lite to see how far your vision can go when friction is removed. We’re stripping away the grunt work so you can focus on what actually matters: the build. ***Are you ready to orchestrate the future, or are you still debugging the past?*** #BuildwithAI #GoogleForDevelopers #GDGSingapore \-\-\- By attending this event, you acknowledge that you have [read and agreed to follow these security guidelines](https://bit.ly/devspace-security).

After a high-octane session of vibe-coding, it’s time to go under the hood. Join us for an immersive workshop focused on the Gemini 3 series, the multimodal powerhouse driving the next generation of Agentic AI. Whether you’re looking to optimise Function Calling, master 1M+ long-context windows, or integrate Gemini’s reasoning capabilities into your production tech stack, this is where theory meets the road. **🛠 Bring Your Laptop!** This is a collaborative, live-demo breakdown. We’ll share real-world use cases, Agentic architectural patterns, and the "aha!" moments discovered during the morning build. It’s an open forum for developers, by developers, to discuss what’s actually working at the bleeding edge of AI in 2026. Leave the session not just with a project, but with the blueprint to keep building long after the day ends. ***Are you ready to stop using AI and start mastering it?*** #BuildwithAI #GoogleForDevelopers #GDGSingapore \-\-\- By attending this event, you acknowledge that you have [read and agreed to follow these security guidelines](https://bit.ly/devspace-security).

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you. We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform. Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live. So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent. Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new. Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with: • A demo • A real-world business solution • A bold idea • A UX transformation • Or a creative use of the platform Judging Criteria: 🏆 Business Value 🚀 Innovation ✨ User Experience This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value. Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired. Refreshments and bites will be provided. And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
