AI and Beers - Athens #6 @ Panathenea 2026
🤖 AI agents aren't chatbots! They decide, they act, they call APIs, they handle data and when something goes wrong, you find out days later, if at all. Over the past twelve months, production agents have leaked credentials, executed unauthorized transactions, and exfiltrated confidential data through prompt injection. Classical security and QA playbooks don't catch these attack surfaces, because the trust boundary just moved, and most teams haven't caught up yet.
We're gathering for an honest conversation - no theory, no vendor pitches. On the panel, practitioners who work on agent security every day, from people leading international open-source security frameworks to QA veterans who know first-hand why deterministic testing collapses in the face of non-deterministic AI. We'll talk about the new attack surfaces, real production incidents, and what every builder needs to know before shipping agents.
Most AI security conversations happen behind closed doors. This one happens under the open Athens sky — accessible to all levels, beer in hand, in the city that invented public discourse.🍻
📅 **Thursday, May 28, 2026, 19:00**, we'll discuss the security of Agentic AI systems, real-world incidents, emerging attack surfaces, and what every builder needs to know before they ship.
📍 Where? **In the back courtyard of New York College, 38 Vasilissis Amalias Avenue, Athens 105 58** — a relaxed, open-air space in the heart of the city, ideal for conversation and networking.
🚌 Getting there: Right across from the National Garden:
Metro: "Syntagma" Station (Lines 2 & 3) — 3 minutes on foot
Tram: "Syntagma" Stop
Buses: 040, 550, X14, 5, 15 (Stops "Amalias" or "Syntagma")
Trolleybuses: 2, 4, 5, 11 (Stop "Syntagma")
👉 **Panel Discussion: Securing the Agentic Web**
An honest conversation about the security challenges of agentic AI — what actually goes wrong in practice, what the new attack surfaces look like, and how you build AI agents that won't betray you when incidents hit. Accessible to all levels — no prior security background required.
👉 **Fireside Chat: Success Stories**
Honest, first-hand accounts from teams inside Greek enterprises who deployed agentic AI into production and lived through what came next. They'll walk us through the risks they actually faced.
📋 **Program**
**18:45 – 19:00: 🚪 Arrival & welcome**
**19:00 – 19:30: 🎙️ Panel Discussion — Securing the Agentic Web (30')**
* *John Sotiropoulos*
**19:30 – 20:00: 🔥 Fireside Chat — Success Stories (30')**
* *Romanos Matthaiasos*
**20:00 – 20:15: 🙋♂️🙋♀️ Q&A — open questions from the audience (15')**
**20:15 – 21:30: 🍻 Networking & Drinks (75')**
🎯 **Why you should come**
1. You'll understand how agentic AI systems fail in real scenarios — not theory, but what has actually happened
2. You'll get practical insights from people working actively in AI security
3. You'll meet builders and founders facing the same challenges as you
4. You'll connect with the Greek AI community at the largest tech gathering of the year
5. And you'll have an unforgettable evening — with a beer in hand, under the Athenian sky
🍻 **Seats are running out faster than the first beer. Book now!** 🚨
🚀 **Supporters**
Thanks to New York College for hosting us and to the Panathenea 2026 team for the framework.
This event is supported by HumanBound — an AI agent security testing platform that helps teams find vulnerabilities in their agents before attackers do.
🎤 **Speakers**
* **John Sotiropoulos** — Leader of the global OWASP Agentic AI Top 10 initiative, one of the most important open-source frameworks for AI agent security worldwide.
* **Romanos Matthaiasos** — Software QA Manager at Eurolife FFH & ISTQB Instructor. Evangelist of the shift-left mentality with 17+ years in test automation, who'll explain why classic QA playbooks fall apart in the face of non-deterministic AI.
*By registering, you accept that AIandBeers and HumanBound will use your information (first name, last name, email) to organize the event and create networking opportunities. Photos and videos taken during the event may be used for promotion on social media and other channels.*

Ping pong #71 🏓- Wednesday - Renti
\*\*Same stuff, always fun! \*\*
ℹ️ **General info:**
Bats (rackets) & balls are provided by the venue (are included in the price).
The ping-pong tables have an hourly cost of 8€/hour, per table. Usually we pay 5-6€/person for the whole 1.5 hours. PLEASE, bring some cash on you, unless you have Revolut or IRIS (nope, a 50€ euro bill does not count).
**Location**:
The venue cannot be reached by metro, so you have to either take a bus or **carpool** with any attending member that will arrive via car.
ℹ️ Bus options should be fairly good, since the venue is next to a big amusement park & a mall.
ℹ️ Personally, I'll always be coming via car, so I'll have 4 available spots in my car. I can pick you from:
* **Egaleo** metro station, blue line,
* **Pallini** metro/train station
❗️ If you plan to attend via car and are willing to carpool people, please let me/us know in a PM or event discussion!
❗️ People getting carpooled should be in the agreed location **on time!**
⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.

NAMI Family-to-Family Summer Session
Summer Session, Thursdays, June 4 - July 23, 2026, from 6 to 8:30pm ET
**NAMI Family-to-Family** is a free, eight-week program for family members, caregivers, and partners of individuals living with mental illness. NAMI Family-to-Family provides information about anxiety, depressive disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. Other topics covered include communication, problem solving, treatment, and recovery.
Want to Truly Heal from Emotional Trauma?
Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few.
How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again.
So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that.
Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

Free in Person Meeting - Get Over Losses and Betrayls
Do you want more motivation and confidence to build Lasting Relationships?
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Are you burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival, while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
