Join us at the Microsoft Malta office for another evening of technical learning and networking around the Microsoft Data Platform. Two sessions. One foundational. One deep. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧠 Session 1 — From ML to AI Agents: The Journey That Changed Everything ◆ The Data Introduction Session Before we talk about SQL Server 2025, we need to speak the same language. This session tells the story of AI from the beginning: → From ML and its narrow, task-specific roots → To large language models and the generative AI explosion that followed → To the agent landscape everyone is navigating but few have clearly mapped Models, agents, assistants, copilots, skills, tools — and the very different types of agents hiding behind the same word. You will leave with a mental model that makes every AI conversation, and every vendor pitch, easier to evaluate. ◆ No prior AI experience required. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🗄️ Session 2 — SQL Server 2025 News: AI Integration and More ◆ The Main Session SQL Server 2025 marks a turning point for Microsoft's flagship database engine. This is the honest version of the story. → The vector journey from Azure SQL to what SQL Server 2025 delivers in RTM → What is GA, what is still in preview, and what that means for production → DiskANN vector indexes, AI_GENERATE_EMBEDDINGS, AI_GENERATE_CHUNKS → CREATE EXTERNAL MODEL — calling LLMs without leaving SQL Server → Fuzzy string functions: EDIT_DISTANCE, Jaro, and when NOT to use vectors Build semantic search and RAG pipelines inside the database. No separate vector store required. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🤝 Networking The evening includes time to connect before and after the sessions. Whether you are deep in the Microsoft Data Platform or just getting started, this is your space to ask questions and exchange ideas with the community. 📍 Microsoft Malta Office

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. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier 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. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

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.
