AI Exchange - Sky, Webuild & AWS
AI Exchange - Sky, Webuild & AWS
And we're back! We are excited to announce that on Wednesday, March 4th, we will host our first AI Exchange event of the year at AWS London. Join us for another night of insightful conversations, expert perspectives and real world examples exploring how AI is being built, scaled, and applied across industries. We have three brilliant talks to kick us off this year. Hope to see you there and please RSVP as soon as you can to secure your place. **Agenda:** **[Kaitlin Brabec](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaitlinbrabec/) @ [We Build AI](https://www.linkedin.com/company/webuild-ai/)** **Practical Tips For Using AI To Enhance And Accelerate Your Work (Without Compromising On Quality Or Learning) by an AI Engineer** As AI becomes embedded in how we work, the expectation to deliver quickly and correctly is higher than ever. But the real opportunity is how to use AI to genuinely grow, both personally and professionally, along the way. Kaitlin shares real examples from her work as an AI Engineer - from picking up software engineering best practices, to data engineering techniques, to project management tasks - and the simple habits she developed to use AI in a way that builds real knowledge you can reuse and lean on next time. Kaitlin also shares how she stays up to date with the latest AI learnings to keep refining her technique and growing over time. Whether you're technical or not, this session will provide practical tips to use AI whilst balancing quality output and self-development. Kaitlin is a Senior AI Engineer at WeBuild-AI. Kaitlin has 4 years of hands-on experience delivering GenAI and Agentic AI solutions to enterprise clients, with a focus on the energy and utilities sectors. Recent client feedback includes "I'm very impressed with the speed and quality of work that was delivered on this project". Kaitlin is passionate about using AI not just to build, but to keep growing her skills outside the norms and sharing best practices with both the WeBuild-AI team and beyond. Outside of work, Kaitlin is a keen athlete and is currently training for her next half Ironman race. **[Amit Dhingra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amitdhingra7/) @ AWS** **The Agentic Enterprise: How AI Agents Are Rebuilding Business in 2026** This session explores the transformative shift from AI assistants to autonomous AI agents in 2026, showcasing real-world production deployments across finance and retail that are fundamentally changing how businesses operate. The Paradigm Shift: We've moved from AI as chatbots (2023) and copilots (2025) to autonomous agents (2026) that plan, decide, and execute complete workflows independently. While 64% of professionals now use AI agents, only 25% use them regularly—creating a widening competitive gap. Amit will discuss how agentic AI differs fundamentally from current AI tools they useConcrete examples of agents operating in production today. The career implications for developers, technical professionals, and business leaders. Unlike the internet transition that took 20 years, the agentic AI shift is happening in 20 months. Organizations that master agent orchestration in 2026 will have significant competitive advantages, while those waiting risk falling permanently behind. **Lisa Smisson @** **[Sky](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sky/)** **AI Journey and Software Development Transformation Summary** Lisa's AI journey started with a simple need: creating illustrations for a story she’d written for her daughter. After her arty husband quoted a couple of weeks to create a few pictures to illustrate it, she decided to try ChatGPT's image generation capabilities. In just a few hours, she created all the illustrations needed, a moment that revealed AI's transformative potential. Lisa will take us through her journey of software development using AI coding assistants, without ever having written a line of code. Calling out key points to consider on AI transformation. Lisa is an AI Delivery Manager at NBCUniversal/Sky, on her 12-month AI journey and its implications for software development transformation. We look forward to seeing you all soon! All the best, Tony, Andrea and The AI Exchange team The AI Exchange is brought to you in partnership with[ LinuxRecruit](https://www.linuxrecruit.co.uk/) and[ AWS.](https://aws.amazon.com/) LinuxRecruit is building the next wave of Technology Unicorns in Europe.

Error-handling in C++26
Error-handling in C++26
This month we have a visiting speaker from think-cell, Sebastian Theophil, who will talk to us about error handling in C++26 (with sprinkles of C++23). We also have space for a shorter talk, or lightning talks. If you would like to speak - even for just five minutes, please drop something into cppldn.uk/speak. **think-cell** will also be supporting the group by providing pizza and drinks - thanks **think-cell**! Thanks, also, to **Maven Securities** for hosting us again, this month. **As usual we'll need your full name for the door list, so we'll be asking for this on registration** (as this may be different to your username). This data will only be used for the door list/ registration and not published anywhere or used for other purposes. If you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at [cppldn.uk/speak](http://cppldn.uk/speak). **Here's the approximate schedule:** **18:30** *Doors open* **19:00** "Intro and news" - *Phil Nash* **19:10** *"compile_assert - Compile time C++ assertions" - Jonathan Grant* I present compile_assert(expression, message), a new C++ keyword proposal for enforcing assertions at compile time within ordinary (non-constexpr) functions. compile_assert provides advanced asserts at compile time, not runtime. Used for bounds checking, parameter validation and data validation at compile time. All three major compilers (GCC, Clang, MSVC) are supported with a sample implementation. The example implementation does this by using GCC’s attribute error which works with Clang. **19:25** "Compile-Time Data Layout Transformation with C++26 Reflection" - *Arturs Kalnins* We’ll use C++26 static reflection and injection to convert an AoS into a SoA at compile time, live on the latest GCC, with zero macros and zero boilerplate. **19:40** *break* **20:00** "To Err is Human: Robust Error Handling in C++26" - *Sebastian Theophil* A walk through the new error handling features in C++26 — including \`std::expected\`, \`std::stacktrace\`, contracts, and more — and how they can help us write more robust, maintainable code. **21:00** *Conclusion, and moving on somewhere else* \-\-\- **About the speakers** *Sebastian* has been working at think-cell since it was founded in 2002. In the last few years, among many other things, he has ported think-cell to run on macOS. He also maintains the typescripten project, which lets programmers call JavaScript libraries from C++ code compiled to WebAssembly in a convenient and type-safe way. He enjoys leaving his desk from time to time to talk at international C++ conferences. *Jonathan* has been a Software Engineer since 2003, worked in the video games industry and also embedded space for a long time at Renesas in safety critical systems for the automotive sector in C and C++. He also develops bespoke machine learning software in C++. He has a BSc Computer Science and an MSc Software Engineering. *Arturs* is a C++ software engineer with a background in aerospace engineering, where he developed a strong foundation in mathematics and systems thinking. He builds reliable, high-performance systems across embedded software, networking, and distributed platforms, with a particular focus on modern C++ (23/26), Rust, and performance-critical design. He enjoys tackling complex engineering challenges, designing clean abstractions, and contributing to the standards and practices that help teams deliver robust systems effectively.
9th Anniversary Foundation Drinks & Dinner (06.03.26)
9th Anniversary Foundation Drinks & Dinner (06.03.26)
As required by M&P the venue, so that we can give them final numbers, this meetup is now 'closed.' But we look forward to seeing folks next month for drinks at Comptons Thurs 4th Apr (full details: [https://www.meetup.com/london-gay-dads-meetup/events/312391447/](https://www.meetup.com/london-gay-dads-meetup/events/312391447/)) *** **Join for the 9th Annual Dinner!** M&P serve sensibly-priced delicious authentic Italian meals. Usually nice service too. The group’s size means as usual it’ll be their Large Group Seasonal Set Menu; while that’s pretty comprehensive, obviously it won’t include everything a la carte at [https://www.meleepere.co.uk/menus](https://www.meleepere.co.uk/menus), but if interested you get the idea there. As always, LGDM meets are 'fam-friendly' and +1s are very welcome. This year instead of a deposit, we're asking that in addition to RSPV-ing here on Meetup, you make a note to 'consciously' reconfirm a week beforehand (or otherwise go back into Meetup and decline!) your RSVP, that'd be on Sat 28th Feb, IF YOU RSVP 'Yes' and then NO SHOW even after this 28th Feb 'reconfirm', WE WILL BE CHARGED for you & you will be found to be in the Bad Boy Books! (We will of course send a reminder by email and WA in good time.) This is how Mere e Pele describe themselves: *"We are three brothers ... on a journey to create a genuine neighbourhood Trattoria reminiscent of the fabulous family-run places of northern Italy where we all grew up... We cook our seasonal menu with British produce and exceptional Italian ingredients. All of our pasta, pizza, desserts and ice-creams are made in our kitchen fresh every day and we prove our pizza dough for over 48 hours. Gluten free pasta is also available and we have plenty of vegan options too."*

Vibe Coding the Enterprise: From Flow State to Focused Delivery
Vibe Coding the Enterprise: From Flow State to Focused Delivery
*📌Abstract* Vibe coding captures something real: momentum. The ability to move from an idea to a working prototype at surprising speed, guided by intent, context, and AI assistance. But in an enterprise environment, speed alone isn’t enough — software must also be secure, compliant, observable, and built to last. We'll see how teams can build applications in a single, end-to-end development flow — from business requirements and early prototypes to engineering, testing, delivery, and production — without breaking context or introducing late-stage rework. At the center of this flow is the software catalog: a living system of record that connects services, APIs, data, ownership, dependencies, and standards. More than documentation, the catalog becomes the shared interface for developers, platform teams, and AI agents to understand the system and act consistently, within enterprise rules and guardrails. The goal isn’t to limit creativity, but to make flow sustainable — turning AI-driven momentum into software that’s ready for production. 🔍 *Key topics* • From vibe-coding to ai-assisted delivery in production • Software catalog as the system of record for enterprise context • AI agents operating in context continuity within guardrails ⏲️ *Agenda* 18.30\* Welcoming 18.45 Talk 19:30 Q&A 19:45 Closing remarks & Networking and Pizzas! 🍕 See you at the next Meetup! \*To access the venue, a staff member will be at the building's front entrance.

Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
Quarterly Goals Reset for Product Professionals
One of the most valuable parts of this community is the opportunity to think out loud with other product professionals. This session is built for exactly that. As we wrap up the quarter, it’s a great time to pause and reflect. What’s on track? What needs adjustment? Where could a small shift create bigger impact? Join fellow product professionals for a focused, interactive conversation designed to help you recalibrate for the next quarter. You’ll have the opportunity to share where you are, hear how others are thinking through similar challenges, and gain fresh perspective you can bring back to your team and organization. We’ll gather at 8:00AM, with discussion starting promptly at 8:15AM. 📍 First Watch - 7227 N High St Located in: The Shops at Worthington Ample parking is available. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. Start your morning with clarity and connection — we hope to see you there! ☀️
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon
