LDNUG June 2026 with Chris Simon + Tiago Sousa
This June we're at FundApps offices in HYLO, Bunhill Row. Chris Simon's back in town, and will be joining us to talk about streams and queues; plus Tiago Sousa from SteelEye will be talking about the work they're doing around using AI in comms surveillance.
Our hosts at FundApps will be providing drinks and snacks, and there will be plenty of time to chat beforehand and in the pub afterwards.
**Chris Simon: It's like 10,000 streams when what you need is a queue**
*🎶🎵 A new dev team adopted E-D-A*
*Got head of line blocking, on their very first day*
*Isn't it ironic, don't you think 🎶🎵*
The last few years have seen widespread adoption of Event-Driven Architecture, supported by DDD practices such as event storming. But what does that orange sticky note become when we start implementing our design? Common implementation choices include event sourcing, streaming platforms like Kafka and queuing systems like RabbitMQ.
Unfortunately not every orange sticky note has the same operational needs, and many teams remain confused about the differences between these options, resulting in the selection of the wrong paradigm for their needs.
This can lead to unnecessary complexity & operational challenges such as head of line blocking, dropped messages, challenges dealing with failed messages, difficulty with adaptive scaling and inadvertently increasing coupling between services.
In this talk we'll bring that orange sticky note into the runtime of our system. We’ll start with a deep dive into the similarities and differences between event streaming platforms such as Kafka and queueing systems such as RabbitMq, Azure Service Bus & AWS SNS/SQS.
We’ll then look at ways to assess your orange sticky notes to work out which messaging and persistence paradigms suit each one, helping you build more resilient, scalable and loosely coupled event-driven architectures.
**Tiago Sousa: AI in Comms Surveillance**
In this talk, Tiago shares what it's actually like to build AI for communications surveillance at SteelEye. Financial firms are required to monitor and flag communications for compliance, but making AI work reliably in that context is harder than it sounds. He'll walk through real examples from the trenches: what worked, what didn't, and what he'd do differently.
**Tiago Sousa** is a Staff Data Engineer and AI Lead at SteelEye - a platform that helps financial firms monitor and flag communications and trades to stay compliant with regulations. He's spent the last five years building the data and AI systems that make that work. Before that, he did research in bioinformatics, which means he came into fintech from an unusual angle and has the scars to prove it. He's based in Braga, Portugal.

Agentic Engineering with Alibaba Cloud (Luma Only)
**Agentic Engineering with Alibaba Cloud**
***Models, Memory, Tooling & Deployment for Production AI Systems***
🙏 Please note Thant we only taking registrations from the [LUMA](https://luma.com/hdygxmyx) for this event. If you are RSVP on meetup, you also need to register on [LUMA](https://luma.com/hdygxmyx)
LUMA LINK: https://luma.com/hdygxmyx
Agentic AI is rapidly moving from experimentation to production. Building successful AI systems today requires much more than selecting a foundation model. Teams must make decisions around model strategy, RAG, memory architecture, enterprise integrations, deployment infrastructure, governance, performance, cost, reliability, and long-term scalability.
Join **[London Agentic AI](https://londonagenticai.com/?utm_source=luma)** and **[Alibaba Cloud](https://www.alibabacloud.com/?utm_source=luma)** for an evening dedicated to the engineering behind modern AI systems along with talks from leadership of [Tomoro AI](https://tomoro.ai/?utm_source=luma) and [Recombine AI](https://recombine.ai/?utm_source=luma).
This event brings together AI engineers, founders, technical leaders, and practitioners, CEO/CTOs who are actively building and deploying production AI systems across startups and entprises.
If you are building AI-native products, deploying enterprise AI solutions, evaluating open-weight models, or scaling agentic systems into production, this event will provide practical knowledge from people solving these challenges every day.
**Speakers**
Talk 1:
[Alex McLeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmcleman/?utm_source=luma) :**Strategic Solutions Architect, Alibaba Cloud**
Alibaba Cloud Strategic Solutions Architect, will walking the model portfolio behind Alibaba Cloud Model Studio, one of the broadest open-weight catalogues in production today. You'll leave with a clear view of which model fits which workload (RAG, agents, fine-tuning, multimodal pipelines, on-prem inference economics), and where Apache 2.0 licensing reshapes your build vs. buy math. Engineering-led conversation. Bring questions.
Talk: 2
[Rishabh Sagar](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rish-sagar/?utm_source=luma): **Co-founder, Tomoro AI**
**AI Systems That Remember: Memory's Role within the Agent Architecture**
Memory is what separates a stateless model call from a genuinely useful AI system. In this session, we'll explore why persistent memory is becoming a foundational layer of the harness around modern agentic systems, the infrastructure that shapes how a model behaves without ever touching its weights. Get this right, and you build experiences that compound in value over time.
Talk 3:
[Stas Bichenko](https://www.linkedin.com/in/stas-bichenko/?utm_source=luma) : **CEO, Recombine AI**
**Auto-generating SDKs for conversational AI**
Conversational AI agents are only as good as the data they can access. How do you connect your voice AI to complex enterprise-grade systems? How do you let the non-technical people control the agents that can make API calls? How do you keep conversations natural with high-latency API calls. It's easier than you might think. I'll go through the approach we've chosen at Recombine: generating the AI agent's SDKs automatically from API docs.
**Panel Discussion & Audience Q&A**
Deploying Agentic AI in Production: What Actually Works?Following the talks, join an interactive panel discussion featuring all speakers, followed by audience Q&A. Bring your questions and engage directly with leaders building and deploying AI systems today.
**What You'll Learn**
🧠 How memory architectures are becoming a foundational layer of modern AI systems
📦 How to evaluate and deploy models for agentic applications, RAG systems, multimodal workloads, and enterprise use cases

Saturday 27th June · Tottenham Hale
Self-Discovery, Share, Discuss - Gay/Bi/Queer Men's Workshop and Peer Support
**The theme for this our next meeting is:**
*'Embarrassing feelings and thoughts you don't dare or want to share with people in your life and the world around you'*
Welcome to our friendly and supportive Community.
Where do we meet and really connect with other gay men in London?
We do in Covent Garden. We are at the City Lit College in Room 113 (First floor)
**Our discussion themes would always be advertised in advance.**
We advertise the topic we’ll be discussing before each meeting, so that you know exactly what to expect before signing up for each particular meeting. Please see the list on our MeetUp profile for potential universal themes relevant to gay/bisexual men, to be covered in our sessions. Ideas are always welcome!
*We offer workshops unlike most other gay/bisexual men's therapeutic discussion groups.*
**A Speaker**
We will at times provide a Speaker for our meetings kickstarting interesting and stimulating discussions. The Speaker can be an expert in their field such as for example an author, a therapist or a philosopher but we are welcoming any of our members to be a Speaker or a demonstrator of exercises such as massage, pilates or yoga. Or perhaps you would want to talk about your profession, if you feel it has relevance to our group. You would just have to contact Dan first for a discussion and planning.
**Frequency of meetings / fee**
In 2026 we’ll only have one meeting per month in person at the City Lit College in Covent Garden and one meeting online. If there is a demand for more in person meetings we’ll consider having more. We are happy to confirm that our entry prices won’t be raised and that in person meetings remain at £10. Online meetings will be FREE in January and February after which it will be £5 to attend.
**Walks / museum visits**
We will continue offering our occasional walking trips and also now include gay/bisexual themed history walks and visits to Museums.
WHAT WE ARE:
We are a group of supportive and insightful great men and we are looking forward to including you - this is what we do:
CONNECTING - It is a place where you will be able to connect with other gay and bi-sexual men and where you can exchange your life experiences with them and your everyday feelings, no matter what those feelings may be - and also a place where you will be able to just be with others who live similar lives to you.
EXPLORING SAFELY WITH SUPPORT - It is a place where you will experience support and growth and where you can feel safe enough to explore and reflect your feelings and life stories. Sharing is at the heart of the group but you share however much you are comfortable with - you're in charge.
CREATIVE STATE REGISTERED THERAPY - It is a therapeutic discussion group which at times offers workshops and borrows elements from Creative Arts Psychotherapies. The group is based on the Creative Arts Psychotherapy/Dramatherapy and counselling work I provided ongoing for the charity Positive East in London.
WHO IS IT FOR: This group is for men over 18 years old who either identifies as gay or bi-sexual or men who has sex with men - or feel emotionally connected to other men.
SOCIAL OPPORTUNITY: We offer a social opportunity in the local pub after the meetings.
New members are always welcome as as well as our much appreciated familiar faces!
Address:
City Lit, 1-10 Keeley St, London WC2B 4BA
Time:
6:30 - 8:00 PM
The social part:
There is certainly an opportunity for social drinks after each meeting.
Cost: £10.00

Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/menusofconversation/
and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/New-Conversation-104308482323373
**Event Description**
This is a social event where people have the chance to have a one-to-one conversation with someone they may or may not have met before using a 'conversation menu' (picture attached). A conversation menu is a list of pre-written conversation starter questions which participants use to have a conversation by discussing the different questions. The questions are generally about some of life's big questions and lead to some interesting conversations about important, fundamental topics which we certainly don't get the opportunity to discuss every day. Some might consider our events to be 'small-talk free zones'.
The event brings people together and invites people to discuss topics and answer questions they don't get to discuss on a daily basis, especially with people they don't know. The idea is that the more we talk about topics we don't normally talk about, to people we don't normally talk to in our habitual social circles, the more opportunities, connections and possibilities we create for ourselves. If we discuss different topics with different people, then we achieve different results.
Testimonials for the events held so far include:
'For me it was a brilliant success and hopefully it will be for many others.
It is a simple idea simply executed, asking people to pair up and discuss a number of questions on a list. And it works! Although I vaguely knew my partner, the questions allowed us time to touch on areas that I think we would have been otherwise unlikely to ever discuss e.g. which parts of your life have been a waste of time?'
'Surprisingly good and thoroughly worthwhile. Suggested questions excellent.'
‘I can heartily recommend coming along to a conversation event. The questions were really thought provoking and led to some fascinating conversations. I really enjoyed the evening and I came away with feeling I’d learned a lot from my conversation partner.”
‘I thought it was a very interesting meeting. I thought it was interesting to try to answer personal questions and listen to the other person.’
London daytime testing at Waterloo
We playtest all sorts of tabletop games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever (but not video games). Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes.
You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters!
Please let us know in the comments when you plan to arrive/leave and whether you are bringing a game or not. This helps us to plan the day better.
The schedule is:
10am onwards - gathering, chatting
11am sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 1')
12:30ish - break for food/chat
1pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 2')
2:30ish - break for food/chat
3pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 3')
4:30ish - finish up
Often, we might hang around afterwards, to play some already-published games.
We are strict on timings, so please try to arrive a few minutes before the session to limit disruption.
You can just come for part of the day if you wish. The reason we have fixed timings for the 3 'slots' is to make it easier for folk to do so.
Designers of all levels of experience are welcome! But if it's your first time, we ask that you don't bring a game and just spend some time learning how the group works.
The group works based on reciprocation. If you expect to test your own game, make sure stay for long enough to play other games. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to play one of your own games every third 90-minute session. So if you stay a whole day (3 sessions), you can expect to have one session to play your game(s). A good rule of thumb is that if you come all day, you will have one 90 minute session with two other playtesters in which to test your own games. It is sometimes possible to test games with more players. If your game requires 4 or more, please note that as standard you will be allocated half of a session (45 minutes).
Pre-covid, we were getting unmanageable. As a result, we may have to limit attendees. This is a free-to-use venue, and we have to be mindful that other folk want to use the same space.
Please note: This is an adults only event.
We look forward to seeing you!

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.
