Snowflake Startup Program Showcase: Building the Future of Enterprise AI
How do you scale an AI startup from an initial idea to an enterprise-grade solution? Hear from the Snowflake Startup Program team and a cohort of founders who are leveraging Snowflake to transform complex data into intelligent, scalable products
**Snowflake for Startups Program**
**Ryan Lieber**
Ryan Lieber will introduce the Snowflake for Startups Program, which provides several initiatives (e.g.,Startup Package, Startup Program & Cortex REST API) focused on supporting early-stage companies from a financial, technical and co-marketing perspective as they look to build their businesses on top of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
Learn how the program supports startups with technical enablement, go-to-market guidance, and direct access to Snowflake’s ecosystem to help scale innovative AI and data-driven products.
**From Program to Agentic AI: Building Enterprise Context**
**Ekai**
How do startups move from the Snowflake Startup Program to delivering high-impact AI solutions for major industries?
In this session, the leadership team at Ekai will share their journey of building enterprise AI products powered by Snowflake. They will explore how they tackle one of the biggest challenges in AI: Enterprise Context.
You’ll learn how Ekai developed an AI Backbone that transforms fragmented enterprise data into intelligent, agentic AI systems, along with the technical and commercial strategy required to scale across industries such as manufacturing and media.
**Unlocking the 80%: Turning Unstructured Data into Governed AI Intelligence**
**EmergeGen**
Enterprise AI doesn’t fail because of the models. It fails because 80% of critical enterprise data - including contracts, PDFs, and emails - remains unstructured, ungoverned, and inaccessible to decision-making systems.
In this session, EmergeGen, a Snowflake Native App, will demonstrate how organisations can unlock this hidden intelligence. Using ontology-based reasoning, EmergeGen converts messy unstructured data into governed, analysis-ready intelligence without data leaving the Snowflake environment.
**Key Highlights**
* Native Integration - Build a governed intelligence layer directly inside the Snowflake Data Cloud
* Beyond the LLM - Use ontologies to make AI systems explainable and trustworthy
* Real-World Impact - Case studies from MSD Partners (Private Credit) and 101 Logistics
**Speakers**
Ryan Lieber - Snowflake Startup Program EMEA & AJP
Tero - Chief Commercial Officer, Ekai
Hussnain - AI Architect, Ekai
Allan Beechinor - EmergeGen
**Event Schedule**
📍 26 March
18:30 - Ryan Lieber, Snowflake - Introduction to the Snowflake Startup Program
18:45 - Ekai - From Program to Agentic AI
19:10 - EmergeGen - Unlocking the 80%: Unstructured Data to Governed AI
**Food & Drinks**
Food and drinks will be provided during the event.
Survival Analysis: From Basic Concepts to Bayesian Models
**Speaker:** Mick Cooney
Survival analysis is a statistical method for analyzing the expected duration of time until an event occurs. In this one-hour talk, we will walk through the application of survival analysis to life insurance policy lapses, starting from foundational concepts and moving toward Bayesian modeling approaches using Stan.
We will begin by setting the scene with a practical example: the impact of the 2008-2011 credit crisis on Irish life insurance. This provides a backdrop to introduce core survival analysis concepts, including censoring, truncation, survival functions, and hazard functions.
Next, we will review classic approaches to modeling survival data. We will cover the non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimator, discuss standard parametric models, and examine semi-parametric methods like the Cox Proportional Hazards model.
The second half of the talk will focus on Bayesian survival analysis. Using R and Stan, we will demonstrate how to construct Bayesian models for time-to-event data. We will step through the process of assessing model fit and discuss strategies for improving model performance, focusing on handling right-censored data and quantifying uncertainty.
This session provides an overview for practitioners interested in applying both traditional and Bayesian survival analysis techniques to their own data problems.
Code Apps & Fabric
**Code Apps**: Leveraging AI to build code-first custom web apps that live natively within the Power Platform
**Malachy Keaveny:** Malachy is a D365 Senior Technical Consultant at Codec, where he leads a team of consultants on large scale Power Platform implementations.
**Microsoft Fabric:** From ingest-to-insight: End-to-end data engineering, including AI-assisted Power BI reporting.
**Sara Boukob:** Sara is a senior Data Engineer at Codec, currently leading the delivery of a data and analytics platform through an Azure Landing Zone and Microsoft Fabric

DubJUG 264: GONG & Agentic AI Tools
This month, we're venturing over to GONG HQ to her two talks from staffers SDE Vanja Tesin, and Senior Engineering Manager Anthony Brady.
DETAILS & OFFICIAL BOOKING >>>>>
https://ti.to/dublin-java-user-group/264-gong-hq
Check your schedule first (it's not cool to not show!)
## **Talk 1:** GONG & Agentic AI Tools
Gong built an agentic AI solution called Claude Code to help developers work more effectively across its complex microservice architecture of over 100+ repositories. Using a multi-agent system with specialised rules, skills, and subagents, it automates development tasks and reduces time spent on research and context switching. The result is faster development and better pattern compliance, reducing complex tasks from days to hours. Join Vanja Tesin to discover how.
## **Talk 1:** **Resilience in Microservices**
In the distributed landscape of modern backend architecture, the question isn’t if a service will fail, but when.
Without robust fault tolerance, a single latent dependency can trigger a cascading failure across an entire ecosystem.
Anthony's talk will focus on how Gong overcame some of those challenges and how they are implementing resilience utilising patterns such as Circuit Breakers, Rate Limiters and others to maintain stability and provide graceful degradation even when downstream services are under duress.
Agentic-Coding - Practitioners Day (II)
Hi All,
The feedback was: More best practices! More code! Less slides!
And here we go ...
Building on the success and momentum of the first meetup this year (in/with ServiceNow), we are doing our second Practitioners Day!
Brian Kelleher (CEO @ MicroDoc) is back and will talk about agents which iterate and check their own work in the cloud when certain conditions are met (e.g. new sentry issue, new user email, new PR).
I will do another no-slides/just-code session and will probably demo
Github speckit (an opinionated Spec-Driven Design framework).
This time we are hosted by UCD. We will be in the brand new O'Connor Centre for Learning (Room L1.03).
The agenda for the evening will be ...
* 18:00 - Doors open. Pizza and Drinks - All
* 18:30 - Welcome - Roland
* 18:45 - Making Agents work for you - Brian
* 19:30 - No slides. Just code - Roland
* 20:00 - Wrap up. More mingling - All

Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
🚀 A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes
Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it.
A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable.
Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds.
That changes what is possible.
**Registeration required on [luma page](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring).**
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems.
***
# 🧠 What You Will Build
**Design AI agents that demonstrate**
* Sharp reasoning
* Independent decision making
* Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments
* Real world impact
A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly.
This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production.
*If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.*
✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits.
🏆 Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute.
***
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## **Project Ideas:**
* **Self-Evolving Agent**
Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems.
* **Parallel coding agents** with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast.
* **Research pipelines** that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another.
* **Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab**
Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes.
Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models.
***
## What the day looks like
🕚 11:00 AM Doors open
⚙️ 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives
🚀 12:00 PM Hacking begins
🍕 1:00 PM Lunch
🛠️ 1:30 PM Back to building
🖥️ 4:45 PM Demos and judging
🏆 5:30 PM Awards and close
Bring your laptop, an idea, and something you’ve been wanting to automate.
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## About Daytona
**[Daytona](https://daytona.io)**: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution.
Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today.
## Venue Partner
\*\*[Baseline](https://baseline.community/)\*\*: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write €100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with.

Tutorial 9 – Object Detection using DETR (Meta AI) with Hugging Face & PyTorch
My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick.
I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people.
\*\*In this tutorial, we will build an end‑to‑end object detection workflow using the **DETR** model from Meta AI, powered by **Hugging Face Transformers** and **PyTorch** based on a Hugging Face tutorial. We will use a small public dataset, walk through data preprocessing, fine‑tuning the model, evaluating performance, and finally running inference on a **new, unseen image** containing a similar object that was not part of the training set. You will receive a Jupyter notebook with clean, reusable code covering every step. No setup required beyond a laptop and a Google account to run everything in Google Colab.
**The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.**
**For more information about the tutorials:**
* The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around €10 which can last several months depending on your usage.
Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace.
* The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours.
* During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way.
* The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects
* We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets.
* Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications.
This tutorial take place at the **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** (We will be sitting in the lobby in the corner or on the right handside). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**.
**Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2**
* The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part!
* *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*

Please buy your own ticket here: [https://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/rusalka/](https://www.bordgaisenergytheatre.ie/show/rusalka/)
Driven by her consuming love for a human prince, water nymph **RUSALKA** abandons her realm to navigate his mortal world. A tale of longing, transformation and the high cost of desire, Dvořák’s rich, lyrical score brings this darkly poetic fairy tale to life with the iconic *Song to the Moon* at its heart.
Irish National Opera’s new production features a world-class cast, with Irish soprano **Jennifer Davis** in the title role. A rising star on the international stage, her performance in INO’s *Faust* (2023) was praised as “exquisite and vibrantly emotional” (Sunday Independent).
New York tenor **Ryan Capozzo** is the Prince, with American mezzo-soprano **Michelle DeYoung** as the witch Ježibaba and Croatian bass **Ante Jerkunica** as Rusalka’s father, Vodník. Soprano **Giselle Allen** is the Foreign Princess with baritone **Benjamin Russell** as the Gamekeeper. Completing the ensemble are sopranos **Rachel Croash** and **Sarah Richmond** and mezzo-soprano **Alexandra Urquiola** as the Wood Nymphs.
Direction and design are by the visionary **Netia Jones**, who co-created and directed INO’s Olivier award nominated *Least Like The Other, Searching for Rosemary Kennedy.* INO’s Artistic Director **Fergus Sheil** conducts the INO orchestra and chorus.
*Rusalka* is sung in Czech with English surtitles.

**Unlocking Retirement Capital: Flips, Wholesales & Private Money Strategies in Self-Directed Accounts**
**Featuring Guest Speaker:** Amanda Holbrook (Specialized Trust Company)
**Hosted by:** Columbus Investors Club
### **Event Description**
Most people think retirement accounts are passive.
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**

From Web Forms to Web Components - Burton Smith

**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.
