DC Crypto at The Point
DC Crypto at The Point
https://www.thepointdc.com/ This beautiful bar and restaurant with delicious food and awesome happy hour will be the side of our first summer meetup. It's accessible through Waterfront Metro and Buzzards Point shuttle. Or a 15 minute walk Our crypto meet up is basically everyone. We are not officially connected with any group or government nothing like that so it's just a very chill place for OG crypto people and new people to have a drink and talk crypto . It will probably be pretty crowded if the weather is nice but it's a really big bar with a big outdoor deck. I will have a colored candle with me identification purpose identification purposes. It's a beautiful place where the Anacostia and the Potomac River's meet. !I hope to see you there!
We Built an AI Platform Using AI — Here's What We Learned
We Built an AI Platform Using AI — Here's What We Learned
A small team of AWS Solutions Architects not traditional software engineers, built AIRE Traffic Control (ATC), a production agentic AI platform now serving thousands of builders. We used AI at every stage: spec-driven development, AI-generated code, automated testing, and agentic workflows. In this talk, we'll share the real story, the architecture, the failures, the breakthroughs, and what we learned about driving adoption from 32% to 92% in 10 weeks. You'll walk away with practical patterns for building multi-agent systems, using AI-DLC methodology, and empowering non-traditional dev teams to ship production-grade applications.

We will be meeting at Starbucks to learn together. Come with an online class you're already going through or an interest and we will try to connect you with a course where you can learn it. Already have a skill you want to contribute to a Kaggle Datascience competition? We will work on these too! Laptop required :)
DevCommunity - DC/NY Meetup
DevCommunity - DC/NY Meetup
**Agenda:** • 5:00 PM - Doors Open (in-person attendees). • 5:30 PM - **Deep Dive into Claude Code** • 6:30 PM - Networking • 7:00 PM - Doors Close **Talk Overview:** **Deep Dive into Claude Code** Ever wondered what happens under the hood when Claude Code runs your next Android task? This talk dives into the internals of Anthropic's AI coding agent — its bootstrap pipeline and agent loop. You'll see how fork agents share prompt-cache prefixes to cut input token costs and how four-layer context compression keeps long conversations from exhausting the window. You'll leave with a mental model of how this production AI agent actually works. Whether you're building custom MCP integrations, orchestrating multi-agent tasks, or just trying to get more from the tool you use every day, you'll have a toolkit of patterns to apply to your own Android workflows. **Speaker**: Mohit Sarveiya **Speaker Bio:** Staff Android Engineer AirBnb & Google Developer Expert **How to find us:** 1680 Capital One Drive, McLean, VA 22102 We'll be located in C2 **100 D/E**.

Our events have been featured on CNN, CBS, Axios, Miami New Times, TLC's 90 Day Fiance - The Single Life, Tampa Bay Times, Southbend Times, Citylink Magazine, Essence, The Wall Street Journal, Best of Baltimore, AM New York, Chicago Tribune, WINK FM, Woman's World Magazine, and 100s more -- but come see for yourself! Join us for a night of fun, flirtation, and possible romance at our singles speed dating event! If you're tired of swiping left and right on dating apps, speed dating is a great way to meet new people in person, in a relaxed, safe, and comfortable environment. **HOW IT WORKS:** We'll introduce you to at least 5, and up to 12 - or more - single women or men. Spend a little time with each one, during a series of 6-minute Pre-Dates. Then tell us who you'd like to speak with again & we'll do the rest! It's the modern, civilized, effective, and fun way to meet other professional-level singles. If you're finished with the games and ineffectiveness of online dating and apps, join us to share a wonderful evening of enjoyable conversation with interesting people... and maybe something magical will happen! **GET TICKETS:** A **Meetup RSVP is not a ticket**, you must purchase on our website. [https://www.pre-dating.com/baltimore-speed-dating/?utm_source=Meetup&utm_medium=event_listing&utm_campaign=Meetup](https://www.pre-dating.com/baltimore-speed-dating/?utm_source=Meetup&utm_medium=event_listing&utm_campaign=Meetup) Use Code MATCH5 for $5 off! **DOES IT WORK?** Yes! According to the New York Times, at a speed dating event, people like 2-3 out of 10 people they meet. Online daters only match with 1 in 100 or fewer of the profiles they study. This is the best way to meet new people, and it works! Just ask the thousands of people that have met at our events and had successful relationships and marriages. **WHAT DOES IT COST?** We put a lot of time and effort into creating the best singles events possible, so we collect a fee for our hard work. Our events are an excellent value at about $3 per introduction. Get your ticket for the best singles event in town. **NOTE FOR NEWCOMERS:** We post our events on various platforms. Our events often sell out, so expect plenty of fellow singles, regardless of the numbers you see here :) So what are you waiting for? Join us for some fun conversation with great new people... and maybe something more!

If you're tired of endless swiping, ghosting, and conversations that never leave the app, you're not alone. Spark Vibe was created for singles who are ready to put down their phones and start making real connections. This is your excuse to get out, look your best, grab a drink, and meet local singles in a fun, relaxed environment designed to make connecting easy. No more endless texting. No more wondering if you'll ever actually meet. No more trying to figure out chemistry through a screen. Just real people, real conversations, genuine laughter, and the possibility of meeting someone special. Our events are everything you wish dating apps felt like—but in real life. Whether you're looking for a relationship, friendship, or simply want to meet new people, you'll be surrounded by local singles who are here for the same reason: to connect. ✨ About The Age Range The age range listed in the event title is intended as a general guideline to help create a compatible and well-balanced group of attendees. It's not a strict requirement. If you feel you'd connect well with this crowd, you're welcome to join us. Our goal is always to create an enjoyable environment where meaningful connections can happen naturally. 🌟 How The Evening Works 🍸 Start With A Social Mixer Kick off the evening with a relaxed mingle. Grab a drink, settle in, and meet fellow singles before the structured activities begin. Many attendees arrive solo, making it easy to jump into conversations and start meeting people right away. 💬 Easy, Guided Conversations We've taken the awkwardness out of meeting new people. Fun icebreakers and conversation prompts help keep things flowing naturally, while our friendly host guides the event so you can focus on enjoying yourself and meeting great people. ⚡ Quick, Real Connections Meet a variety of local singles through a series of short, engaging conversations. You'll have just enough time to get a feel for someone's personality, energy, and vibe before moving to the next conversation. It's fun, low-pressure, and far more natural than sitting through a full first date. ❤️ Discover Real Chemistry The best part? You never know where a single conversation might lead. A friendship. A future date. A new connection. Or maybe even something extraordinary. But none of it happens unless you show up. ##

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation. About Speaker: Cameron Williams is a Senior Technical Project Manager and cross-functional technical leader at Booz Allen Hamilton with 15+ years of experience architecting and evolving scalable, cloud-native systems, from greenfield development to complex enterprise modernization. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronw711/ **THANK YOU** *Franklin University* for hosting our meetup!

Battle of the personal agents
Battle of the personal agents
Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
