Software Architecture Kata
Ready to hand over the code entirely to AI agents and just focus on system design? So are we.
Until we need to debug whatever hallucinated dependency the agent snuck into production, let's do an Architecture Kata.
**What is an Architecture Kata?**
An Architecture Kata is a structured group exercise where we tackle realistic design problems as peers by sketching, questioning, and iterating out loud. No single "right" answer. Just engineers working towards a solution together.
**How we'll spend the evening**
* **Scenario Drop** (15 min): We introduce a concrete business situation.
* **Small Group Sketching** (60 min): Break into groups of 3-5. Draw, argue, change your mind, start over. The goal isn't a perfect diagram, but the rationale behind it.
* **Walkthrough & Peer Review** (30 min): Groups share where they landed. The rest of us ask "what if?" and "have you considered?" We learn from each other's blind spots.
**Who This Is For**
* Engineers who want to practice designing out loud
* Anyone with interest/experience in software architecture
(Optional) Your laptop, though markers and whiteboards do most of the work
**Sponsors**
Our sponsors for this meetup are [Yodeck](https://www.yodeck.com/) \- who are not only kindly providing the venue\, free of charge\, but who will also treat us to some snacks / drinks for the networking session after the meetup\!

AI and Beers - Athens #6 @ Panathenea 2026
🤖 AI agents aren't chatbots! They decide, they act, they call APIs, they handle data and when something goes wrong, you find out days later, if at all. Over the past twelve months, production agents have leaked credentials, executed unauthorized transactions, and exfiltrated confidential data through prompt injection. Classical security and QA playbooks don't catch these attack surfaces, because the trust boundary just moved, and most teams haven't caught up yet.
We're gathering for an honest conversation - no theory, no vendor pitches. On the panel, practitioners who work on agent security every day, from people leading international open-source security frameworks to QA veterans who know first-hand why deterministic testing collapses in the face of non-deterministic AI. We'll talk about the new attack surfaces, real production incidents, and what every builder needs to know before shipping agents.
Most AI security conversations happen behind closed doors. This one happens under the open Athens sky — accessible to all levels, beer in hand, in the city that invented public discourse.🍻
📅 **Thursday, May 28, 2026, 19:00**, we'll discuss the security of Agentic AI systems, real-world incidents, emerging attack surfaces, and what every builder needs to know before they ship.
📍 Where? **In the back courtyard of New York College, 38 Vasilissis Amalias Avenue, Athens 105 58** — a relaxed, open-air space in the heart of the city, ideal for conversation and networking.
🚌 Getting there: Right across from the National Garden:
Metro: "Syntagma" Station (Lines 2 & 3) — 3 minutes on foot
Tram: "Syntagma" Stop
Buses: 040, 550, X14, 5, 15 (Stops "Amalias" or "Syntagma")
Trolleybuses: 2, 4, 5, 11 (Stop "Syntagma")
👉 **Panel Discussion: Securing the Agentic Web**
An honest conversation about the security challenges of agentic AI — what actually goes wrong in practice, what the new attack surfaces look like, and how you build AI agents that won't betray you when incidents hit. Accessible to all levels — no prior security background required.
👉 **Fireside Chat: Success Stories**
Honest, first-hand accounts from teams inside Greek enterprises who deployed agentic AI into production and lived through what came next. They'll walk us through the risks they actually faced.
📋 **Program**
**18:45 – 19:00: 🚪 Arrival & welcome**
**19:00 – 19:30: 🎙️ Panel Discussion — Securing the Agentic Web (30')**
* *John Sotiropoulos*
**19:30 – 20:00: 🔥 Fireside Chat — Success Stories (30')**
* *Romanos Matthaiasos*
**20:00 – 20:15: 🙋♂️🙋♀️ Q&A — open questions from the audience (15')**
**20:15 – 21:30: 🍻 Networking & Drinks (75')**
🎯 **Why you should come**
1. You'll understand how agentic AI systems fail in real scenarios — not theory, but what has actually happened
2. You'll get practical insights from people working actively in AI security
3. You'll meet builders and founders facing the same challenges as you
4. You'll connect with the Greek AI community at the largest tech gathering of the year
5. And you'll have an unforgettable evening — with a beer in hand, under the Athenian sky
🍻 **Seats are running out faster than the first beer. Book now!** 🚨
🚀 **Supporters**
Thanks to New York College for hosting us and to the Panathenea 2026 team for the framework.
This event is supported by HumanBound — an AI agent security testing platform that helps teams find vulnerabilities in their agents before attackers do.
🎤 **Speakers**
* **John Sotiropoulos** — Leader of the global OWASP Agentic AI Top 10 initiative, one of the most important open-source frameworks for AI agent security worldwide.
* **Romanos Matthaiasos** — Software QA Manager at Eurolife FFH & ISTQB Instructor. Evangelist of the shift-left mentality with 17+ years in test automation, who'll explain why classic QA playbooks fall apart in the face of non-deterministic AI.
*By registering, you accept that AIandBeers and HumanBound will use your information (first name, last name, email) to organize the event and create networking opportunities. Photos and videos taken during the event may be used for promotion on social media and other channels.*

Athens dbt Meetup #3 - Transformation at Scale & Data Discovery
Welcome back to the **dbt meetup Athens** -our third event and one last gathering before summer! We’re excited to bring the community together once again, this time hosted by **Agile Actors**.
After an inspiring second meetup with colleagues from dbt Labs, we’re keeping the momentum going. This time, we’re bringing you two real-world data stories: **Panagiotis Ntarzanos** (*Data Product Owner, Agile Actors*), **David Koeszegi** and **Matthias Oberleitner** (*Solutions Architects, Austrian Post*) will present: ***From Stored Procs to ref(): A Multi-Billion-Row Migration to dbt***, followed by **George Ntaskas** (*Data Engineering Manager, GWI*) with ***Data Discovery as a First-Class Citizen in the Modern Data Stack*** —but that’s not where it ends. The second half of the event will be a live **Q&A** session, giving the Greek dbt community a rare chance to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and get insights.
Come for the talks, stay for the community.
We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and continuing to grow the dbt community in Athens.
👀 See you there!
Can’t make it in person? We’ve got you covered 👀

Ensuring Software Quality in the world of AI Developers - Matt Eland
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.
