Software QA and Testing

For decades, application security has been built around a simple assumption: humans are the primary producers of software. We train developers, review their pull requests, model threats in design meetings, and build controls around human decision-making. That assumption is rapidly breaking down. As AI coding assistants evolve into autonomous software agents, organizations will gain access to an effectively unlimited engineering workforce capable of producing software at a speed no human team can match. The pressure to adopt these systems will be driven not by curiosity, but by competition. Companies that successfully harness agentic development will ship faster, iterate faster, and potentially outpace those that do not. This shift forces a fundamental rethinking of application security. The future of AppSec is not securing developers—it is governing an agentic workforce. Threat modeling, code review, security testing, and change management will not disappear, but they will need to operate at machine speed and increasingly be performed by systems rather than people. In this talk, Ken Johnson, CTO of DryRun Security, explores what the next decade of application security may look like, the assumptions that will no longer hold, and why security professionals must understand these systems deeply if they hope to influence the future rather than react to it.

Please RSVP on luma: [http://luma.com/dc2-nwz3](http://luma.com/dc2-nwz3) A meetup for software engineers and IT professionals who use AI tools in their craft. ​**agentic engineering** describes the practice of developing software with the assistance of coding agents. What are **coding agents**? They're agents that can write and execute code. Popular examples include [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/?utm_source=luma), [OpenAI Codex](https://openai.com/codex/?utm_source=luma), [Gemini CLI](https://geminicli.com/?utm_source=luma), and [https://kilo.ai/](https://kilo.ai/?utm_source=luma) If you build software and want to learn and share effective practices for using agents to build real software, this is the meetup for you. Agenda: 6-6:30pm: Food and networking 6:30pm - Introductions 6:45pm - Agentic Engineering Demo /Tips 7:00pm - Agentic Software Engineering Failures 7:15pm - Presentation and interactive survey on Agentic Engineering 8:00pm - end

Important: Register on [AICamp website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026061814) is required for admission. **Description:** Welcome to the AI meetup in Washington DC. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. **Agenda:** \* 5:30pm\~6:00pm: Checkin, Food/drink and networking \* 6:00pm\~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A \* 8:00pm: Happy Hour at Courthouse Social (cross the street) **Tech Talk: Secure Developer Environments in the Age of AI Agents** **Speaker:** Patrick Brown (Coder) **Abstract:** Federal engineering teams are under pressure to ship faster while meeting some of the most demanding security and compliance requirements in the world. In this talk, Patrick Brown of Coder explores how cloud development environments (CDEs) give agencies a foundation to accelerate software delivery without sacrificing control — and why that foundation matters even more as AI-powered coding agents enter the workflow. He'll cover how CDEs keep source code off endpoints, enforce zero-trust access patterns, and provide the consistent, ephemeral infrastructure that both human developers and AI agents need to operate safely at scale. **Speakers:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 5,000+ AI developers in D.C and 500K+ worldwide.

**Register Here:** https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4102500/rhexpressregistrationapp/page/expressregistration?sc_cid=RHCTN1260000485001 **Automate at the speed of mission** Today’s landscape demands a shift in strategy. One where automation isn’t just a tool, but the engine driving modernization for your organization or agency. Join Red Hat experts and your peers at **[Ansible Automates in Washington, DC](https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4102500/rhexpressregistrationapp/page/expressregistration?sc_cid=RHCTN1260000485001)** for a full day of conversation on building an automation strategy that scales. We’re moving beyond isolated tasks to focus on the topics that define modern IT: * **Operational velocity and scale:** Deploy faster and eliminate manual bottlenecks by standardizing on Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform as the backbone of your IT estate. * **Continuous compliance and resilience:** Trade audit anxiety for automated governance, stay ahead of configuration drift, and minimize human error to ensure mission continuity. * **AI-driven operations:** Put data and intelligence into automated action with the latest advancements in Ansible Lightspeed and gen AI. **What you'll walk away with** You'll leave with real, applicable insight from technical experts, peer practitioners, and Red Hat product leadership, including a 1st-look at what's new in AAP 2.7. **Who should attend?** **#AnsibleAutomates2026** is for IT business leaders and their teams: * CIOs, CTOs, and IT Directors * Enterprise and Network Architects * IT Operations and DevOps Leads * Security and Compliance Professionals * Automation Architects shaping AI and modernization strategy * Anyone interested in Automation - no matter where you are in your journey **[Event Details](https://reg.experiences.redhat.com/flow/redhat/4102500/rhexpressregistrationapp/page/expressregistration?sc_cid=RHCTN1260000485001)** * **Location:** Marriott Marquis\, DC \| 901 Massachusetts Ave NW\, Washington\, DC 20001 * **Date:** Wednesday, June 24, 2026 * **Time:** 8:15 AM - 4:30 PM ET **Note:** Please register using your business email address.

Test your "Ninja Warrior" skills on this disjointed obstacle course, with challenges such as balancing on a wire to a see-saw scamper. Obstacle difficulty ranges from easy to hard so there is something for everyone to attempt! Other obstacles include various swings, a firemen's pole, & the infamous 'cargo- net climb'! This obstacle course is outdoors with a nearby Fort fit for Lunch- Enjoy a picnic from above while admiring the challenges from below! NOTES: 1\. This is for fun\, not a competition\. 2\. Attire= gym/ workout clothes\. 3\. A 'going/ attending' RSVP is your digital attestation & agreement that you are responsible of any risks/ injury that involve this physical activity\.

Join our new group’s fourth meeting. Meet fellow tech enthusiasts west of the beltway. ​Our meetings are a great place to work on and show off what you do. We are always welcoming. ​Our format is great for people who have started on but not finished one or several side projects. ​We will start off with basic introductions and what we are working on, along with what our goals are for the session. We’ll break the rest of the meeting into two working sessions. In between, we’ll do a quick check-in to see how folks are going. We also have some polls available which we use to shape our events: ​[https://submatrix.net/article/Meetups/e9ym4fr8Ca](https://submatrix.net/article/Meetups/e9ym4fr8Ca) If the meetup is full, we encourage you to come anyway.

Most AI meetups end up as just networking. **We’re different.** At **AI Tool Explorers Night \| Connect & Make New Friends**, you’ll: ✨ Walk away with a *real learning nugget* (a tool, workflow, or strategy you can use immediately) ✨ Connect with people who share your curiosity for AI, productivity, and automation ✨ Enjoy a fun, casual setting where new ideas and friendships spark naturally 👉 **Our promise:** every session delivers structure, substance, and takeaways you can use when you get home. ### 📅 Event Flow * **6:00–6:15 PM** → Arrivals & intros * **6:15–6:45 PM** → AI demo / learning nugget * **6:45–7:00 PM** → Q&A and group discussion * **7:00–8:00 PM** → Networking & contact sharing ⚡ Please hold networking until after the presentation so we can all learn together.
