AI Meetup (June): Secure AI Agents
AI Meetup (June): Secure AI Agents
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.

Bikelane Brewery to Meadowlark Botanical Garden- (Rating: C/B)
**You must read the following NVHC Sign-in Sheet Statement/Liability Disclaimer,** [https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf](https://nvhc.com/signin.pdf) **and then answer the question that you will see when you RSVP with "I accept" to be permitted on the hike.** **This will be an "out and back" hike covering 9.2 miles with 469 feet of elevation gain. We'll start at the Bike Lane Bike Shop and Brewery and hike on the W&OD , the Twin Branch Trail and the Meadowlark Connector Trail. At the end of the hike we can gather for a beer or other cold beverage at the brewery.** **Meadowlark Botanical Garden is one of the true gems of Northern Virginia and features a Korean Bell Garden.** **To quote from the** ***Washington Post***\*\*:\*\* **"The only Korean Bell Garden in the Western Hemisphere is the place to start: The centerpiece is a natural wooden pavilion — built entirely without nails — holding a three-ton bell, handmade in South Korea and decorated with flora and fauna. The garden also contains a mix of plants native to Korea and Virginia, protective figures carved from volcanic rock called dol hareubangs, walls decorated with images of flowers and symbols of longevity, and a koi pond with a fountain. "** **To quote from the Meadowlark Garden website:** **" Koi swim in Lake Caroline as if parading their gem-like scales among the snapping turtles with decades of filamentous algae streaming from arching shells. October highlights are: False aster (Boltonia asteroides), azure monkshood (Acontium carmichaelii), Canadian burnet (Sanguisorba minor)."** **We'll stop at the Meadowlark Visitor Center where you can relax, browse the exhibits or take a stroll in the Gardens (General Admission $9 with $5 for those over 60).** **We hike at a pace of approximately 2.5 mph while moving.** **You must be experienced with hikes of this length and elevation gain.** **Dogs are permitted on this hike in accordance with the NVHC Dog Policy.** **https://tinyurl.com/nvhcdogpolicy** **Please note only service animals are allowed in the Garden and Visitor Center so canine hikers will have to wait outside during our stop.** **Leader: Steve Frith cell 703-629-0174** **Park Entry Fee: see above description for optional stroll through the Garden** **Map for hike:** **https://www.alltrails.com/explore/custom-routes/custom-route-1b24bc3?u=i&sh=iypgzx**

Transforming Ingested Data into Voice-Driven Discovery and Reporting with AI
Transforming Ingested Data into Voice-Driven Discovery and Reporting with AI
Organizations today are collecting more data than ever before, yet much of that information remains difficult to access, understand, and act upon. Dashboards are often fragmented, reports require specialized knowledge, and valuable insights remain trapped inside disconnected systems. At the same time, advances in AI, speech technologies, and intelligent workflows are changing how people interact with information. Instead of navigating complex interfaces or manually building reports, users can increasingly ask questions naturally using voice and receive intelligent, contextual responses in real time. In this meetup, we will explore how modern AI systems are transforming raw ingested data into conversational, voice-driven experiences that enable discovery, analytics, reporting, and operational insight. We will examine how enterprise data from documents, APIs, databases, business applications, and event streams can be processed, structured, indexed, and exposed through AI-powered interfaces that support natural language interaction. The session will cover the end-to-end architecture behind intelligent voice-enabled reporting systems, including data ingestion pipelines, semantic indexing, retrieval strategies, AI orchestration, speech-to-text processing, large language models, and response generation. We will discuss how AI agents can reason over enterprise information, dynamically generate reports, summarize findings, identify anomalies, and provide conversational access to operational knowledge. You will also see how voice interfaces are evolving beyond simple assistants into intelligent workflow companions capable of interacting with business systems, coordinating actions, and supporting decision-making across departments such as sales, operations, customer service, finance, and executive leadership. Topics we will explore include: * AI-powered data ingestion and transformation pipelines * Semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) * Voice interfaces for enterprise analytics and reporting * Real-time conversational querying of structured and unstructured data * AI agents and workflow orchestration * Intelligent summarization and automated report generation * Integrating speech technologies with enterprise systems * Security, governance, and responsible AI considerations * Practical architectures and implementation strategies Whether you are a developer, architect, analyst, technology leader, entrepreneur, or AI enthusiast, this session will provide practical insight into how conversational AI and voice-driven systems are reshaping the future of enterprise intelligence and human-computer interaction. Join us for an engaging discussion, live demonstrations, architecture walkthroughs, and real-world examples showing how organizations can move from static reporting to dynamic, conversational discovery powered by AI.
The End of Human-Scale AppSec
The End of Human-Scale AppSec
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.
