**✨ Engineering Guardrailed AI in Constrained Environments & MCP: Principles & Practice ✨** Ready to dive into the next generation of practical, secure AI engineering? Join us at Talent Garden Calabiana for a deep-dive technical night, co-hosted by Scops.ai and **TAG**. We'll tackle two major frontiers in the modern AI landscape: the complex realities of engineering guardrailed AI in highly constrained environments, and the hands-on mechanics of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Whether you're building rock-solid enterprise safeguards or giving your AI agents powerful new tools, this meetup is for you. **Agenda** * **18:30** Doors Open * **19:00** Introduction * **19:10** Talk: Engineering Guardrailed AI for Constrained Environments with Daniele Zonca * **19:50** Talk: Model Context Protocol: Principles and Practice with Luca Baggi * After the meetup we will organize a dinner close to the venue, anybody who wants to join is welcome! **Venue**: Talent Garden, Via Arcivescovo Calabiana 6 (M3 Lodi or Brenta) The event will be **recorded and streamed** on Python Milano Youtube channel (links will appear [here](https://www.youtube.com/@pythonmilano/streams) close to the event) **Engineering Guardrailed AI for Constrained Environments** **Daniele Zonca, Senior Principal Software Engineer @ Red Hat** **Model Context Protocol: Principles and Practice** Large‑language‑model agents are only as useful as the context and tools they can reach. Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) proposes a universal, bidirectional interface that turns every external system—SQL databases, Slack, Git, web browsers, even your local file‑system—into first‑class “context providers.” In just 30 minutes we’ll step from high‑level buzzwords to hands‑on engineering details: How MCP’s JSON‑RPC message format, streaming channels, and version‑negotiation work under the hood. Why per‑tool sandboxing via isolated client processes hardens security (and what happens when an LLM tries rm ‑rf /). Techniques for hierarchical context retrieval that stretch a model’s effective window beyond token limits. Real‑world patterns for accessing multiple tools—Postgres, Slack, GitHub—and plugging MCP into GenAI applications. Expect code snippets and lessons from early adoption. You’ll leave ready to wire your own services into any MCP‑aware model and level‑up your GenAI applications—without the N×M integration nightmare. **Luca Baggi, AI Engineer @ xtream** Luca is an AI Engineer in xtream (now part of TeamSystem). He is a active member to the Python and PyData communities in Europe, and an open source contributor. ✋ **Please use your real Name and Surname to register, we cannot assure you will be able to access the venue if not.** \*\* If you have a last minute issue please remember to cancel the RSVP.\*\* \*\* Thanks for your cooperation\*\*

Che ne dite di un aperitivo insieme mercoledì 4 marzo da Panfè? È un forno bar davvero carino, con pizzette, focacce, brioche… sia dolce che salato, così ognuno trova quello che preferisce. L’idea è stare insieme, chiacchierare e goderci un paio d’ore leggere e piacevoli ✨ 🕕 Dalle 18:00 alle 20:00 📍 Per chi vuole ci vediamo alla fermata della metro Loreto, davanti ai tornelli della metro (poi andiamo insieme)

Il BookClub **The Reading Riot** si ritrova per parlare di *Il Signore delle Mosche* di **William Golding**, **Premio Nobel per la Letteratura**. Il romanzo racconta la storia di un gruppo di ragazzi rimasti isolati su un’isola deserta dopo un incidente aereo. Senza regole né adulti, il tentativo di autogestione lascia presto spazio a dinamiche di potere, paura e violenza, mettendo in discussione l’idea stessa di civiltà. Un classico che interroga ancora oggi sul rapporto tra individuo e gruppo, autorità, responsabilità e natura umana. L’incontro del BookClub è informale e basato sul **dibattito sui temi principali del libro**, partendo dalle impressioni personali di chi partecipa. Sarà una conversazione aperta, in cui ognuno potrà intervenire con il proprio punto di vista, in un clima intimo e rilassato. **Quando e dove** **Mercoledì 4 marzo** **Ore 19:00** **Viale Misurata 9, Milano** E' richiesta consumazione obbligatoria nel locale (no minimo di spesa). **Posti limitati** Per mantenere il gruppo piccolo e favorire lo scambio, i posti sono **limitati.** Una volta raggiunto il limite, verrà attivata una **lista d’attesa**. ⏳ **Importante** Se dopo l’iscrizione non riesci più a partecipare, ti chiediamo di cancellare la prenotazione entro il giorno prima, così da lasciare spazio a chi è in attesa. Porta il libro, il tuo entusiasmo e le tue impressioni — non vediamo l’ora di iniziare! Contatti IG: @thereadingriot_

🍻 **Join Us for Tech Startups in the Pub - Milan Edition!** 🍻 Hey there! 🌟 We'd love for you to join us for our next edition of *Tech Startups in the Pub,* this time in Milan, Italy! The event is scheduled for **6:30 PM local Italian time**. The platform does not allow us to change the time zone, so we can only create events with the GMT time, thus you will see the invitation for 7:30 PM, but you definitely want to come earlier. It's a relaxed evening at The O'Connell Irish Pub, and run by Volodymyr. We have been running for 3.5 years in London and we are excited to now run our monthly events in Milan as well, welcoming new folks to the community. Whether you're a tech founder, an enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, or simply curious about the tech scene, you'll fit right in. This isn't about panels or pitching, just good old-fashioned networking with like-minded people over a drink on a Thursday evening. Important information about the location and time. **It is in the ZTL zone**, so please do not come by car. Please use public transport or walk. **House Rules:** * Find Volodymyr to introduce yourself so we can welcome you properly. The pub knows we are coming, so you should be able to find us easily. * No hard selling or heavy pitching. This is a chill, friendly after-work get-together. * Not drinking? No worries! You're more than welcome to come hang out and enjoy the conversation. Mark your calendar and come down for some fun tech talk. See you there!

Ci troviamo per scrivere, condividere, conoscere, immaginare, scoprire. Costo dell’evento 25 euro. Per informazioni e prenotazioni contattatemi 🙂

Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, exploring new ideas, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. **New to electronics or curious about tinkering?** You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner and want to experiment, I’ll have a couple of starter kits available so you can try things out—whether that’s blinking your first LED, putting something on a display, or experimenting with simple sensors. No pressure and no experience required—just an interest in learning and building. While we continue to pursue a more permanent venue for this Meetup, we’ll be using public library facilities based on availability. This session will be at the Worthington Park Library in the Olentangy Meeting Room.

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here!

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.

We will show a variety of methods for building agents that run in Microsoft Foundry. This covers the different types of agents: Prompt, Multi, and Hosted, as well as the development lifecycle using evals and traces.
