Most serious players will play and review their games until 10PM and you are encouraged to do so. If you require a review of your game, you may politely request it from your opponent. We are all here to socialise and build a community around this game. There may be instances where there is a low visitor count. In such a case, Shaun will play a game with your personally or arrange an AI opponent so not to worry about a wasted trip. Please note that this is not a class for learning how to play. You may find our classes on our website @ https://thegoacademy.com.sg. Most importantly, enjoy and have fun. You may contact us at 9199 0946.

[https://t.me/+NoKWGVYyUgllNzY9](https://t.me/+NoKWGVYyUgllNzY9) GETTING THERE Nearest MRT station: Promenade *@ Downtown (blue) Line or Circle (yellow) Line* Other MRT stations: Esplanade *@ Circle (yellow) Line*; City Hall *@ North-East (red) Line* LOCATING US INSIDE THE FOOD COURT We are seated at the far end of the food court where the wall is, away from the stalls. Look for groups that look like they are studying rather than merely eating. You can drop the Event Host a message if you are lost. NO COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES We welcome anyone who is keen to learn a language or help others learn the language. However, this is NOT the platform for individuals who have other intentions, such as recruiting members for their business or organization or selling products or services. We will not hesitate to ask such individuals to stop attending our meetups.

**The right conversation, with the right people, at the right time —** **can quietly change everything.** **I’ve experienced that firsthand.** **Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to sit in rooms where people spoke openly about money — not in the way they teach you in school, but in the real, honest, this is what actually works kind of way. People who were generous with what they knew. People who made me see that a life of financial freedom and security wasn’t some distant dream reserved for a certain few.** **It was closer than I ever imagined.** **And somewhere along the way, a quiet thought became a conviction —** **more people deserve to be in that room.** **So I’m building it.** **A small, intentional gathering in a private setting — for curious, open-hearted people who are ready to think differently about their future. People who are done leaving money to chance and want to start making it work with purpose. People who believe, like I do, that the most powerful thing we can do is learn from each other.** **There’s no stage here. No performance.** **Just a circle of real people — some who know a lot, some who are just beginning — coming together to share, to spark ideas, and to remind each other that we don’t have to figure this out alone.** **This space is for you if:** **🤍 You’re curious about your financial future but don’t know where to start** **🤍 You’ve been quietly figuring things out and want to be around others doing the same** **🤍 You believe in the power of good people and honest conversation** **🤍 You’re ready to listen, share, and grow — with zero ego** **This space is not for:** **🚫 Salespeople or anyone with something to sell** **🚫 Insurance agents or MLM representatives** **🚫 Anyone who comes to pitch, recruit, or promote** **🚫 Aggressive personalities who talk over others** **We protect this room carefully — because the quality of the conversation depends on the quality of the people in it.** **No pressure. Nothing to prove.** **Just the kind of conversation that lingers — and the kind of community that stays.** **Come as you are.** **There’s a seat here with your name on it. 🤍** **📍 Private Office, Central Singapore** **👥 Intentionally intimate — seats are limited** **To confirm your seat:** **A quick note on RSVPs — like many of you know, our Meetup events tend to get a lot of sign-ups and not everyone makes it eventually. Because this room has limited seats and I want every chair filled with someone who genuinely wants to be here, I’m doing this one a little differently.** **Please message me directly to receive my contact number and confirm your attendance. Your spot is only reserved once you’ve confirmed with me personally. It wouldn’t feel right to hold a seat for someone who isn’t coming when there may be someone else who wants this far more.** **The door is open — but only for the right people — and I genuinely hope that’s you. 🤍** *********** **Out of respect for the openness and safety of this space — and based on feedback from our community — I’d also ask that you share your occupation when you message me to confirm. This session is a genuine, pressure-free conversation and to keep it that way, I’m unable to accommodate those working in sales, insurance, investments, MLM, or similar fields. I hope you understand and appreciate that this boundary exists to protect the experience for everyone in the room. 🙏*********

This month, we return to the crowd-favourite topic of Agentic Systems & Harnesses! Talks: **"Patterns of Successful Agent Harnesses" - Sam Witteveen** In a talk he previously delivered at Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas, Sam will focus on the core patterns and components of successful agents and harnesses, covering patterns from coding agents like Claude Code & Codex through personal agents like OpenClaw & Hermes. These patterns clearly show what is working in building modern agents. **"Local Models & Self-Evolving Harnesses" - Martin Andrews** In his talk, Martin will first explain how a number of the recently announced self-updating harness systems work. Then, in light of the recent turbulence in the world of Foundation Models, he'll talk about Local Models, and how to increase business robustness. **FOOD UPDATE :** Google has told us that **there WILL BE** pizza at the event \-\-\- Talks will start at 7:10pm (entry at 6:45pm) and end at around 9:00pm, at which point attendees can come up to the front for a bit of a chat with each other, and the speakers. Due to some recent security incidents at the venue please take note of the new DevSpace security procedures [https://bit.ly/devspace-security](https://bit.ly/devspace-security) Attendees will not be admitted later than 15min after the talks have started. As always, we're actively looking for more speakers - both '30 minutes long-form', and lightning talks. For the lightning talks, we welcome folks to come and talk about something cool they've done with keras, PyTorch, JAX and/or Deep Learning for 5-10mins (so, if you have slides, then #max=10). We believe that the key ingredient for the success of a Lightning Talk is simply the cool/interesting factor. It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or an enthusiastic beginner: Given the responses we have had to previous talks, we're sure there are lots of people who would love to hear what you've been playing with. If you're interested in talking, please just introduce yourself to Martin at one of the events.

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

If you enjoy knitting, crocheting, working with yarn, this is the group for you. Meet new friends, bring your projects, learn from others.

Want to learn pickleball in a fun, low-pressure setting? I’m hosting a free beginner-friendly meetup at Olentangy Parklands to help new players learn the basics and get comfortable on the court.

We’ll meet on the upper courts. Bring a pickleball paddle if you have one. If not, no problem, I’ll have some extras available for people to use. This event is meant for beginners and anyone curious about trying pickleball for the first time. Come ready to move, learn, and have fun.

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join.
