From inconsistent datasets to scenarios where structured data barely exists, this session dives into what it takes to build AI beyond ideal conditions.

Hiking on our selected section rewards you with the best views of both legendary mountain ranges in China. **HIGHLIGHT** # 2️⃣️ **老药山** **Laoyao Mountain Hike** ***3 km, 3-hour easy hike for all levels.*** Located between Lijiang & Shangri-La, the short hike offers a peaceful and scenic experience ideal for those seeking nature without a demanding climb.

Along the way, hikers are treated to expansive views of highland meadows, distant snow-capped peaks, and quiet solitude far from tourist crowds. One of the highlights is a lone tree near the summit — a popular photo spot with panoramic views. The path is not technically challenging, but the altitude can make it feel more demanding, especially for those who are not yet acclimatised. 老药山 remains relatively undiscovered, making it a perfect choice for a short, serene escape in Yunnan’s highlands. **HIGHLIGHT** # 3️⃣ **Haba Snow Mountain 哈巴雪山 - 小环线** ***5 km, 5-hour short hike*** The **short version of the Haba Loop** is a day hike near Haba Snow Mountain, offering stunning alpine scenery without the need for a multi-day trek or summit attempt.

⚠️ **REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED VIA [LUMA](https://luma.com/7adqd4e9)** ⚠️ **ABSTRACT** SHELLgym is the regular cybersecurity workout you have been looking for! Whether you're just starting out and need some exercises, studying for a cert (hint: OSCP), looking at CTF challenges, or developing something cybersecurity-related (maybe your own automated tools?), SHELLgym aims to help you progress in picking up practical cybersecurity knowledge and skills. Come and go as you please, work on your own stuff with like-minded individuals, or just have fun during the workout! **AGENDA** Getting and using shells. Finally, a topic in SHELLgym that covers shells! For this session, we'll talk about remote access, from exploits versus payloads, to simple persistency. Then, we'll do some triaging and threat hunting to detect such shells in our environment. The session will roughly follow this sequence: 1\. Remote access: bind/reverse shells 2\. A simple\, traditional killchain from exploit to payload to persistency 3\. Getting inspired by MITRE TTPs 4\. Threat hunting **⚠️ NOTE** Requirements: a computer, so that you can connect to the network, administer your shells, and enjoy a more interactive hands-on experience. **VIRTUAL SHELLgyms in APRIL** (by request) Hosted on Discord, do approach KK or the Div0 Crew for access ! **TRAINER** **KK "Jim" Tan — Founder, counterShell** As a mid-careerist convert to cybersecurity, **Jim** picked up his practical skills through getting OSCP certified and by participating in a variety of CTFs. In his career at CSIT, he performed a variety of red-teaming and vulnerability research roles and established the Cyber Training School at CSIT as the Lead Instructor. Besides the OSCP certification, Jim is also OSCE and OSEE certified, and has a Bachelor's degree in Social Science (Psychology). He now sees psychology as a field of study where you fuzz humans until they produce unexpected behaviour. **SPONSORS** * VENUE SPONSOR: [CyberSG TIG Collaboration Centre](https://www.linkedin.com/company/cybersg-tig-collaboration-centre) **IMPORTANT NOTICES** * Code of Conduct: [https://www.div0.sg/code-of-conduct](https://www.div0.sg/code-of-conduct) * Terms of Use & Disclaimer Notice: [https://www.div0.sg/terms-of-use-disclaimer-notice](https://www.div0.sg/terms-of-use-disclaimer-notice)

The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again. We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all. Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
