Nella sede di **Radical HR**, **Matteo Fratesi** (CTO di Radical HR) e **Mario Carcota** (Lead Full Stack Engineer di Radical HR) ci racconteranno come hanno domato i superpoteri di AWS Bedrock e sono riusciti a incanalarli all'interno di un SaaS B2B; mentre **Andrea Saltarello** (founder di [Improove](https://www.improove.tech/)) ci spiegherà come puo essere l'ingrediente perfetto della ricetta per Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
A seguire l'aperitivo di networking, gentilmente offerto da **Radical HR.**

**TALK**
**Implementare un AI Agent con i superpoteri su AWS**
**Matteo Fratesi** \- CTO di Radical HR
**Mario Carcota** \- Lead Full Stack Engineer di Radical HR
Passare da un semplice bot no-code a un AI Agent capace di eseguire azioni complesse richiede scelte architetturali precise.
In questo talk vi porteremo alla scoperta di **come si costruisce un AI Agent all’interno di un SaaS B2B** come Skillsincloud, il nostro LMS proprietario che viene utilizzato da +100k utenti.
Analizzeremo l’integrazione dei modelli di **AWS Bedrock** all'interno della nostra infrastruttura esistente, affrontando le vere sfide di produzione:
* **Oltre la Chat**: Orchestrare il "Tool Use" per permettere all'AI di interagire con il database e non solo di conversare.
* **Sicurezza:** Pattern di design per il controllo dei permessi (RBAC) e flussi di conferma "Human-in-the-loop" per prevenire azioni non autorizzate.
* **Knowledge Base**: Strategie di RAG per rendere l'agente consapevole del contesto multi-tenant
Uno sguardo pratico sull'architettura che stiamo adottando per portare l'AI generativa nel cuore dei processi della piattaforma.
**Real world Retrieval-Augmented Generation**
**Andrea Saltarello -** Founder di Improove
Dalla ricerca vettoriale con Aurora PostgreSQL ai modelli LLM e di embedding con Amazon Bedrock (e suburbia), AWS mette a disposizione tutti gli ingredienti necessari per implementare Retrieval-Augmented Generation: a fare la differenza, però, è la ricetta, a partire dall'arricchimento dei metadati.
In questo talk, vedremo l'implementazione di uno scenario reale.

Remote Circle - Routine di lavoro e studio
Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance?
Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare?
Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa.
L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale.
Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli.
Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo.
Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking.
È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

## What we’re about
Buongiorno a tutti. Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille.
Antonio

🌸 Risveglio di Primavera - Cerchio al Femminile

Un incontro al femminile in un ambiente protetto e accogliente, pensato per farti sentire a casa nel tuo corpo e nella tua anima.
Se senti il bisogno di rallentare, prenderti una pausa sacra e onorare ciò che vuole sbocciare, questo cerchio ti aspetta. 🌺
🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃
Cosa faremo:
* Breve pratica di radicamento
* Meditazione guidata
* Scrittura riflessiva
* Condivisione in cerchio
Pratico:
* Vestiti comoda
* Porta il tuo diario
* Una bottiglietta d’acqua

WPMI Marzo | Accessibilità ed estetica: davvero sono incompatibili?
Ciao!
L'appuntamento di **marzo** è per **mercoledì 11 alle 19** con un altro interessante talk in presenza, sempre al [Politecnico di Milano](https://www.google.com/maps/place/45%C2%B028'41.3%22N+9%C2%B013'43.6%22E/@45.478127,9.228763,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d45.478127!4d9.228763?entry=ttu)!
Questo mese lo speaker sarà **Girolamo Giannatempo**, con il talk **Accessibilità ed estetica: davvero sono incompatibili?**
Nel mondo del design, l’accessibilità viene ancora troppo spesso vissuta come un insieme di regole da rispettare a malincuore, qualcosa che “rovina” l’estetica o limita la libertà progettuale.
Spoiler: non è così.
In questo talk parleremo di come progettare interfacce accessibili senza rinunciare alla qualità visiva, mostrando perché accessibilità ed estetica non solo possono convivere, ma possono rafforzarsi a vicenda.
Partendo da esempi concreti e scelte progettuali reali, vedremo cosa succede quando l’accessibilità viene integrata fin dalle prime fasi del progetto: meno compromessi, decisioni più consapevoli, soluzioni più solide e più facili da spiegare anche in azienda (sì, anche a quel collega scettico).
Ne parliamo insieme a Girolamo Giannatempo, designer di interfacce e certified web accessibility expert, che da anni aiuta aziende e team di design a rendere i loro siti web accessibili e inclusivi, senza sacrificare identità visiva e qualità dell’esperienza.
Una chiacchierata pensata per chiunque lavori su interfacce digitali e voglia portare l’accessibilità fuori dalla checklist e dentro il progetto

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups!

Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
Building Agents with Microsoft Foundry
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.
ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
