All must register on this page. **Only members on the RSVP list are permitted**. **Why is no guest allowed?** **ALL MUST READ & AGREE TO OUR DISCLAIMERS BELOW.** **Reason: Bad experience from past events: Guests often don't read our disclaimer & follow our rules, as they are not required to RSVP,** which is typically done by friends who are members of our group. => **Guest**, *please sign up as our member - it is free anyway.* Organiser: "*It has been a very long time since we hiked this before COVID times. Pipeline sections are now all fenced up, and we are no longer able to walk on them physically. Let's go check them out*". We don't know how much the trails have changed, any new obstacles or challenges, any section blocked, etc. **Do be prepared for some exhilarating scrambling, wrong way, U-turn or change of route. In a few sections, you will be under the sun. But don't expect to hold an umbrella and walk. The pipeline trail is not a walk**. If you're not sure you're up for such uncertain challenges, don't RSVP. Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ●Ⱶ● **What's the plan**? The "Marsiling Pipeline Trek" is a hiking trail that follows the route of a buried water pipeline from Marsiling to the Bukit Panjang area, offering moderate difficulty with steep grassy slopes and varied landscapes, including open grasslands and forested patches. We will cover at least 10-13 km of different trails of varied terrains. Some difficult sections where hands are needed besides your legs. **Part 1: Scenic walk through Chestnut Park.** **Part 2: is the pipeline trail, a 7 KM trail** full of unpaved paths, mini hills, and of course, the titular pipes themselves. Gloves will be needed. There will be muddy trails, some bashing, U-turns, or going the wrong way etc. This is not a walk in the park. Don't join if you are not in for these.

For regular walkers/hikers who are not afraid of the sun/rain. Pipeline trek is not a walk; it involves some difficult sections as it's not a straightforward trail. Be prepared for the long distance of walking. There will not be any sweepers, so you are to keep pace with the group or find your way out. 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀! Hiking attire & Gloves.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Session Abstract ### Data Cleansing using Data Bricks Machine Learning is highly dependent on adequate data. Not only does quantity matter, but more importantly quality. In this session we’ll cover how to build a custom automated process using Data Bricks. This will provide methods for cleaning data in a data lake using functions in Azure. \*Please note, that we will be using Microsoft Teams for the online portion of this meeting. You may want to join a few minutes early to ensure you do not have any issues. If you are attending in person, there are large TVs at the office, and you do not need to bring a laptop or use Teams.
