Your survival depends on knowing who you can rely on. But how can you tell who your real friends are? How can you determine if a person will help make a joint venture successful? Is there a way to predict behavior? Yes. There are fundamental elements to human behavior. When you know them you have insight into your fellow man, and just by observing how people act, you will know *everything* about them. #### On this lecture you will learn: * The important role of trust in human relationships. * The Hubbard Chart of Human Evaluation—the tool to know true character and predict what people will do. * How to evaluate others accurately and guarantee a more certain future for yourself and those you care about. With the knowledge you learn on this course, you will have tools to know who you can trust and who you can depend on. *“Trustworthiness is a highly esteemed commodity. When one has it, one is considered valuable. When one has lost it, one may be considered worthless.”* *—L. Ron Hubbard*

THIS IS A PAID EVENT, BUY TICKETS HERE - [https://www.girlywinenight.com/events/p/fri-29-may-girly-games-night-play-chat-mix](https://www.girlywinenight.com/events/p/fri-29-may-girly-games-night-play-chat-mix) Remember when hanging out just meant sitting on the floor, playing games, and eating snacks? We’re bringing that exact energy back - but upgrading it with better drinks and a gorgeous venue. Making friends as an adult in London can feel like hard work. You can go to a crowded bar and still leave feeling totally unanchored. Networking events feel stiff, and small talk can be exhausting. But bonding over a fiercely competitive round of Uno? That’s instant. This May, we are swapping the small talk for a little friendly chaos. We’ve packed the room with easy, nostalgic games that do all the heavy lifting for you. No four-hour strategy games with complicated rules—just fast, fun icebreakers designed to get you laughing and chatting immediately. **What’s on the games menu?** * **The Classics:** Uno, Dobble, Monopoly Deal, other easy to learn games (because nothing bonds people faster than the betrayal of a +4 card). * **Quiz Bits:** Casual, low-stakes table trivia to spark fun debates. * **The Wildcard:** Yes, we’re rolling out the Twister mat. Tangled limbs are strictly optional, but highly encouraged if you're feeling brave! **Drinks in parity ✨** We serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in full parity - same moment, same beautiful glass, same vibe. No awkward “different drink” energy and absolutely no assumptions. Whether you're drinking or taking the night off, you get the exact same premium experience. **What your ticket includes:** * 🥂 **The Welcome Toast:** A glass of Wednesday’s Domaine Welcome Sparkling (served to everyone as you walk in). * 🍷 **Your Drink of Choice:** Choose one drink from our curated menu on the night — alcoholic or non-alcoholic. * 🃏 **Unlimited Gameplay:** Free rein over our curated station of party games. * 🥨 **Sharing Snack Boards:** Focaccia, olives, and picky bits to fuel your winning streak. *Other food and drinks will be available to purchase at the bar if you fancy another round.* Come entirely solo (most people do!) or drag a friend along - either way, you’ll be welcomed with open arms and a hand of cards 💛 **Photos & content** We’ll be taking a few photos and short videos on the night to capture the fun for our website and socials. If you’d rather not be on camera, just let me know when you arrive (or DM me beforehand) and I’ll make sure you stay out of the frame 💛 **Drinking responsibly** We’re all about a feel-good night — please drink responsibly and look after yourself (and each other). With our drinks in parity, you can absolutely keep it no/low-alc and still have the exact same fabulous vibe. If you need water at any point, just ask.

If you want to watch the live streaming, please RSVP to our [Online Event](https://www.meetup.com/producttank-london/events/314766823).** **\-\-\-\-\-\-\-** Product Managers are uniquely positioned to become founders. Years spent living in customer problems, making prioritisation calls under uncertainty, and shipping products across competing constraints is excellent preparation for building a company from scratch. The question remains which skills to activate first and which to actively develop before making the leap. This event convenes a panel of Product Managers who have successfully made the transition into founding — and are building companies today. Drawing on first-hand experience, they will cover what most founder talks omit: the PM skills that translate into a genuine competitive advantage, the capability gaps that require deliberate development, and a grounded, month-by-month account of what the first year of building demands. The result is a practical, unvarnished briefing designed to help you make an informed decision about the leap — and, should you choose to make it, to make it well-prepared. **Our speakers:** [Emma Burrows](https://www.linkedin.com/in/emma-burrows/) \- Founder @ Rezonant\, Ex\-CTO @ Stripe UK [Sean Jayakrishna](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-jayakrishna/) \- Product Manager @ Checkout\, Former Founder As always we will close our meet-up with a candid discussion and Q&A.

Exciting event from comrades at Compass and the Progressive Economy Forum! [Tickets here.](https://actionnetwork.org/ticketed_events/may_30_2026?source=cmpswebsite&) Last year, Compass brought together 450+ progressive pioneers at ‘Change:HOW? A Decade of Radical Renewal’ to re-orient the current Labour government’s promise of a ‘decade of national renewal’. This was an amazingly successful day and a springboard for our work in the Labour Party to get organised, energised and mobilised through Mainstream. But the past year has proven one thing above all else: the need for an organised progressive agenda **across** parties and movements, the **relationships** to make that agenda happen, and the **urgency** of making change. That’s why Compass is thrilled to be working with [Progressive Economic Forum](https://progressiveeconomyforum.com/) to host **‘Change:NOW! Mobilising the Progressive Majority’**, a day of debate, disagreement and deliberation between progressives of all parties (and none!) on **Saturday 30th May 2026.** The conference will feature speakers from across the progressive parties and movements, including keynote speeches from **Mayor Andy Burnham, Caroline Lucas,** and **Gary Stevenson.** Please find a full speaker list below. We’ll also be joined by partners including **Friends of the Earth, UCL Policy Lab, New Economics Foundation, Make Votes Matter, Unlock Democracy,** and **Migrant Democracy Project.** We are splitting the day between focusing on what policies we need to deliver the change to reset our economy, and the political and cultural changes we need to bring about those policies. Through establishing consensus on political strategy and economic direction - and highlighting the important differences in detail across progressive parties and the wider movement - this event will be the catalyst for the change our country so desperately needs. So whether you’re a Labourite, a Green, a Lib Dem, otherwise spoken for or unaligned, get your ticket today and join us for what promises to be an inspiring and imaginative day of ideas and political debate! The event will take place on **Saturday 30th May** at **Rich Mix**, 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London, E1 6LA.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge. **Abstract** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** TBD

Most people use AI like a search box: they type one sentence, hope for the best, and get frustrated when the answer is generic, wrong, or useless. But getting better results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and other AI systems is not about memorizing magic prompts. It is about learning how to give the AI better context. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll break down how to make AI dramatically more useful by improving the way you communicate with it. You’ll learn how to give clearer instructions, provide examples, set constraints, ask for better output formats, and use follow-up questions to turn a mediocre answer into a genuinely useful one. We’ll cover practical techniques you can use immediately for work, learning, writing, coding, planning, research, and everyday problem solving. We’ll also touch on why these same ideas show up in more advanced AI systems, including RAG, agents, evaluations, and AI workflows. No technical background required. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe one real task you wish AI was better at helping you with. **What you’ll learn:** * Why “better prompting” is really about better context * How to structure requests so AI gives more useful answers * How to use examples, constraints, and output formats * How to iterate when the first answer is not good enough * How these skills connect to more advanced AI workflows This meetup is for anyone who wants to move beyond basic ChatGPT usage and start getting more practical value out of AI. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
