Small Business Technology Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
China Over Lunch: What's the Opportunity, and How Do You Actually Get There?
A relaxed lunch conversation for Dubai people with China somewhere on their mind — business ideas, supply chain, trade fairs, or just genuine curiosity.
Join us for a proper sit-down lunch at **Ming Dynasty** — the restaurant is putting together a tailored menu for the group, which gives us great value and means we can focus on the conversation.
Come with questions. Leave with a clearer picture.
**Some of what we might cover:**
* What China looks like for a first-time business visitor
* Trade fairs, factory visits, supplier meetings — what's realistic
* Why the trip is easier to pull off than most people expect
* What a small-group guided trip could look like, and whether that's something you'd want to do
**Who this is for:** Business owners, entrepreneurs, and curious professionals in Dubai who have China somewhere on their radar. No specific deal needed — just genuine interest.
**Format:** Lunch at Ming Dynasty — set menu provided, 2 hours, capped at 20 people
**What to bring:** Nothing. Just show up hungry and curious. (Price already includes food)
Tech Entrepreneurs Casual Hangout
Hi tech entrepreneurs!
Let's meet up over morning coffee at Cafiene Club, Cluster R, Lake level, JLT.
There's plenty of parking nearby.
You are welcome whether you are an established entrepreneur, a beginner or an entrepreneur-in-waiting. Join in, bring your learnings and see what you can learn from others.
The mission of these events is to help create a community of entrepreneurs. To share information, advice, fresh ideas, tips and tricks, solutions and to build connections with like-minded entrepreneurs.
This is a casual, pitch-free hangout. Please, no sales pitches.
The event starts from 9.30 and goes on till 12. You are welcome to join at your comfortable time.
+++
As an entrepreneur one of the biggest challenges we have is to build connections with others in the game. To freely share the problems and ideas and get the perspective of our peers. To connect and build long-term friendships and partnerships with people who truly get what we are doing and why we are doing it.
This is the group that hopes to give you that.
COMMUNITY: Please join this WhatsApp Community and introduce yourself if you have never attended our event before.

AWS Columbus: Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey
Title: Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Register at the Columbus AWS meetup: [https://www.meetup.com/columbus-aws-amazon-web-services-meetup/events/313426379/](https://www.meetup.com/columbus-aws-amazon-web-services-meetup/events/313426379/)
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.
We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans.
Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
