Meet new people over dinner in Toronto
**Meet new people over dinner in The Greater Toronto Area (GTA)**
You'll join a small table of 4–8 people, meet over dinner, and the conversation unfolds naturally.
Everyone coming is in a similar stage of life — open to meeting new people, having a real night out, and seeing where the evening goes.
HOW IT WORKS
1. **You reserve your seat**
Join a table already starting to come together.
2. **The table fills**
Once the table is full, the evening is set.
3. **The introductions begin**
Two hours before dinner, you'll see who's coming. By the time you arrive, no one's a stranger.
AT YOUR TABLE
* People in your age group
* Similar stage of life
* Easy to connect with
GOOD TO KNOW
* You only pay for what you order
* You'll see who's coming 2 hours before
* Exact venue shared once the table is full
**IMPORTANT**

Stop Prompting. Start Orchestrating. Java + Agents: Context, Tokens, Workflows
Most of us are already using agentic coding in some form: Claude, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or whatever new thing shipped this week.
This talk is about the next layer: where the industry is heading as agents take on larger chunks of software work, and what Java developers need to learn to stay ahead. We’ll focus on context management, token strategy, orchestration, Codex-style workflows, cost optimization, and the practical judgment required to use these systems without losing the plot.
The goal is to move beyond intro demos and into the real skill stack: knowing what to delegate, how to frame goals, how to keep agents grounded in larger codebases, how to get more value from fewer tokens, how to catch drift before it becomes damage, and how to verify output in a way that actually protects quality.
This is also a career talk, because the tools are improving too quickly for casual awareness to be enough. The developers who stay valuable will not just be the ones who “use AI”; they’ll be the ones who can direct, constrain, evaluate, and compound with agentic systems.
P.S. Due to popular demand, the slick Keynote animations are coming back.
**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.

**There is a non-refundable / non-transferable $5.00 cover fee** to attend this group event. This charge will reserve your spot, help with group costs and hopefully minimize no shows. **Payment of the $5 cover charge is due by FRIDAY, JUNE 19th, 2026.** After this date, non payment of the cover fee will result in the Member's name being moved to the "not going" list so that those "waitlisted" have an opportunity to attend the Lunch.
In consideration of others, if you are not able to attend, please advise 48 hours prior to the event to allow other people on the waitlist to have your spot. No shows and less than 48 hours notice of non-attendance will be noted. 2 or more such occurrences will unfortunately lead to removal from the group. Thank you all for your understanding and consideration. Looking forward to connecting soon!
Here are the details for the $5.00 e-transfer - E-mail - [weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com](http://weekendbrunchover50@hotmail.com/), Security Question - What is the time of the event? **Twelve**
