Event Driven AI Orchestrator [foobar.i/o #10]
We are rolling into the **10th** iteration of foobar.i/o
with **"Event Driven AI Orchestrator"**
**The case:** **AI agents** are powerful but unpredictable. The real challenge isn't making them smarter, it's keeping them under control.
In this session, [Eric Johnson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/singledigit/) builds an event-driven AI orchestrator using serverless on **AWS**, where deterministic infrastructure orchestrates non-deterministic AI agents. You'll see how *EventBridge,* *Step Functions*, and *Lambda* work together to coordinate agents that can reason freely while the system enforces guardrails, retries, and sequencing.
**The result**: AI that's useful without being dangerous. This is a live-build **session,** expect **working code,** **real demos,** and **practical patterns** you can take home.
Who would really want to miss that?
Join us Tuesday, **May 12** 𝗮𝘁 **6:30** 𝗽𝗺 for the pre-summer edition of [foobar io Greece](https://www.linkedin.com/company/foobar-io-greece/) meetup!
You will find us at **Michalakopoulou 80**,**Athens** (1st floor) hosted by [XM](https://www.linkedin.com/company/xm-global/) (again)!
**Bio**: **Eric Johnson** is a **Principal Developer Advocate** at Amazon Web Services and a father of five who believes technology should be fun. He specializes in serverless architectures and has built a reputation for making complex technical concepts genuinely understandable. A keynote speaker at conferences worldwide, Eric is most at home on stage, whether he's breaking down event-driven design for seasoned architects or encouraging students writing their first lines of code. He brings humor and energy to everything he does, because he's convinced that if you're not enjoying the work, you're doing it wrong.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Mapping and Dashboards
**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards**
In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these.
While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics.
