It's a fun new twist on speed dating! Let's face it, we're all tired of the endless online swiping on dating apps and this event is the perfect way to meet other singles in real life. **HOW THE EVENT WORKS...** \- At each Dating Games Singles Event event we book a reserved area with some tables at a cool bar with a great vibe \- After you get your ticket we give you the event reservation name\.\.\. When you arrive you just tell the venue host the reservation name and you'll be directed to the event area where you'll get to meet the other fun singles who are also looking to meet new people\. \- You'll be playing fun and easy icebreaker games to get to know everyone\. \- After the event you'll be a able to login to our app where you'll be able to select the people you'd like to stay in touch with \(scroll down for more details about how that works\)\. \- We usually have between 12 and 20 people at each event\. The amount of people varies from event to event but you'll definitely get to meet a good amount of people without being overwhelmed by a huge crowd\. We keep the events fairly small and intimate so you really get to know everyone and make real connections\. \- Our host will walk you through the event via video on your phone \(so there's no awkward check in process or silly name tags\) \- The coolest part about the event is that no one else at the venue will even know you're at a singles event\. It will just look like a group of friends having fun around a table\! \- During the fun icebreaker games you can order cocktails \(or non\-alcoholic mocktails\) to get everyone talking and then move into the games \(feel free to order food/appetizers if you'd like to as well\. Everyone pays for their own tab at the venue\) *\*\* QUICK NOTE: WE WILL BE RAISING THE TICKET PRICE EVERY FEW DAYS AND BECAUSE WE LIMIT THE SPOTS AVAILABLE, THE EVENT WILL VERY LIKELY SELL OUT BEFORE THE EVENT TIME GRAB YOUR TICKET ASAP TO MAKE SURE YOU GET A SPOT. \*\** **WHAT ARE THE ICEBREAKER GAMES ALL ABOUT?** You'll be playing fun games like "Friendly Feud" which is similar to the popular prime time TV show we all know. In this game you and the other singles at the table will be asked fun questions like, "Name a gift that women love men to give them". You will try to come up with the most popular answer and then you'll find out if you got the top answer. Another popular game we sometimes play is Blank Slate where you have to try to guess the most popular fill in the blank answer to questions like, _________ TIME . You'd have to try to come up with the most popular answer... is it PARTY TIME? Is it NIGHT TIME? Or maybe it's SHOWTIME. **HERE'S THE REALLY COOL PART!** This event has led to countless relationships and new friendships formed because after the event you'll be able to stay in touch with the people you met at the event by reaching out and contacting them on our app. After the event is over we allow you to login to the app and **swipe on the people you'd like to stay in touch with!** It's similar to a dating app but you'll have actually met and mingled with the people in person before deciding if you want to match and stay in touch with them! After you get your ticket you'll be able to upload a photo of yourself on our webpage (only viewable by the other event attendees). After you sign up you will get an email from us with instructions on how to upload your photo to our app/webpage. It's the perfect way to meet someone, merging new technology and good old fashioned meeting in real life! *A message we received about one of our recent events: "I had a great time at the event. The people were really friendly and the games were a lot of fun. It was a refreshing change of pace from the dating apps" - Leah* ...................................... FAQ: CAN I PAY AT THE VENUE DOOR? We do not accept payment at the venue. You must pre-pay and get your ticket online. DOES MY TICKET INCLUDE DRINKS? Your ticket doesn't cover drinks. There is a great selection of drinks (and/or food you can order at the venue). Your ticket covers the cost of us organizing and marketing the event. HOW MANY WILL BE ATTENDING? We usually have between 12 and 20 people in attendance (It varies from event to event). We find the smaller crowd a way better way to meet someone than being overwhelmed by a giant crowd. The smaller crowd allows you to really get to know everyone and it's a much easier way to make real connections. IS THE EVENT GENDER BALANCED? We do our best to keep the ratios close to even but sometimes there may be one or two more women and sometimes there may be one or two more men. CAN I ARRIVE LATE? Try to arrive on time or even a few minutes early. CAN I COME ALONE? Yes, about 85% come on their own. ARE THERE DRINKS? Yes, there's a full menu of great drinks you can order at the bar. IS THERE FOOD AVAILABLE? Yes you can order food. The venue has a food menu and great appetizers available to order. IF I ATTENDED A PAST DATING GAMES EVENT CAN I ATTEND ANOTHER ONE? Absolutely!

But for Quality Engineering leaders, the real opportunity is much bigger. AI is not just a tool for execution - it’s a force multiplier for decision-making. It can synthesize fragmented data, reveal hidden patterns, connect siloed systems, and elevate quality from reporting metrics to driving strategy. At the 12th Toronto Meetup, we shift the conversation from tactical AI usage to strategic quality intelligence - and what that means for modern QE leadership. **Event Details** * Date: March 25th, 2026 * Time: 06:00 PM – 09:00 PM EST * Venue: 688 Richmond St. W. (3rd floor) Session: AI as a Force Multiplier for QE Leaders Speaker: Puneet Randhawa, Director of Quality Engineering, StackAdapt About the Session While AI can generate tests and automation scripts, its greatest value for QE leaders lies in connecting the dots. In this session, Puneet shares practical, real-world ways QE leaders can use AI to: * Connect data from Jira, CI pipelines, Slack, monitoring tools, and more through MCP servers * Build custom GPTs for defect trend analysis and regression intelligence * Transform raw dashboards into actionable, forward-looking insights This talk focuses on operating at a higher strategic altitude - shifting from tracking metrics to building systems that generate clarity, alignment, and informed decision-making. If you’re leading QE in a fast-moving organization, this session will help you rethink how AI can amplify your impact. **Key Takeaways** * How QE leaders can use AI to connect siloed quality data into meaningful insights * Practical examples of MCP servers and custom GPTs in QE workflows * How to transition from reactive reporting to proactive, insight-driven leadership * Ways to elevate quality from operational support to strategic advantage **About the Speaker** Puneet Randhawa is the Director of Quality Engineering at StackAdapt, with over 15 years of experience building and scaling QE teams in high-growth tech environments. She is passionate about transforming quality from a support function into a strategic differentiator - leveraging data, automation, and now AI to enable smarter decisions and stronger outcomes. Puneet actively mentors emerging QE leaders and shares practical insights from the field, focusing on how modern quality engineering can influence business strategy and organizational impact. **Why You Should Attend** * Gain a leadership-level perspective on AI in quality engineering * Learn how to leverage AI beyond automation use cases * Discover practical methods to turn metrics into intelligence * Connect with Toronto’s QE and technology leaders * Be part of The Test Tribe’s 12th Toronto Meetup **About The Test Tribe** The Test Tribe is the world’s largest software testing community, empowering testers globally since 2018.

Whether you’re a professional sound designer or you just bought your first MIDI controller yesterday, if you have ideas, we want them in the mix. ### **The Vibe** * **Genre Agnostic:** From lo-fi beats and cinematic soundscapes to heavy techno or glitch—if it sounds good, it stays. * **DAW Agnostic:** Logic, Ableton, FL Studio, Bitwig? It doesn't matter. Use the tools that help you speak. * **Creation Over Teaching:** We believe the best way to learn is by doing. You’ll pick up tricks by osmosis, but our primary mission is the "Export" button. * ### **How It Works** We’re keeping the workflow lean so we can stay in the flow state: 1. **Bring Your Setup:** Laptop + DAW + Headphones. Ensure you’re ready to make noise the moment you plug in. 2. **The Master Mix:** We’ll have a central project running. 3. **The Drop:** We’ll use a shared Dropbox folder to swap stems, loops, and one-shots in real-time. You create a part, drop it in, and watch the track evolve. ### **The Essentials** * **Who:** Creatives, noisemakers, and rhythmic thinkers of all skill levels. * **The Goal:** Ensure every person in the room makes a tangible contribution to the final piece. * **The Energy:** High vibes, zero ego, and a shared love for digital alchemy. **Ready to plug in?** We’re keeping these sessions intimate to ensure the best workflow.

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
