**Hello PyData People!** We are excited to announce our next event of 2026! This time, we will be hosted at **FlixBus Italia**'s headquarters in Milan for an evening dedicated to X 📅 **When:** Tuesday, June 23rd, 2026 – 18:30–21:00 📍 **Where:** FlixBus Italia, Corso Como 11, 20154 Milan ⚠️ **Important:** Spots are limited. Please keep your RSVP updated to allow others to participate if you can no longer attend. \*\*\* **🕒 Agenda** * **18:30:** 🚪 Doors open & Check-in * **19:00:** 🎤 **Talk 1:** Process geographical data in Python – Jacopo Farina * **19:45:** 🎤 **Talk 2:** Symbolic Differentiation of Matrices and N-Dimensional Arrays in SymPy – Francesco Bonazzi * **20:30:** 🍕 **Networking & Social Dinner** \*\*\* **🎤 The Talks** **1️⃣ Process geographical data in Python** Speaker: Jacopo Farina (Staff Data Engineer @ FlixBus) In this talk, we are going to see how to process data from OpenStreetMap, public transport data (like the schedule from ATM) and other sources to calculate travel distances in a city, find addresses, find where and when people are using bike sharing (BikeMI) and nice things that can be done with this data. We are also going to see what OSM is and how it represents geographical data, how this data can be imported and used in Python (using PostGIS or DuckDB), how to process it and how to display the results. About the Speaker: Jacopo Farina is a data engineer at Flixbus, where he works on the demand forecasting, and a teacher at the Data Science Retreat in Berlin. Previously he worked on the backend using Node.js, reporting and ETL. \*\*\* **2️⃣ Symbolic Differentiation of Matrices and N-Dimensional Arrays in SymPy** Speaker: Francesco Bonazzi (PhD in Physics and Software Developer @ Intesa Sanpaolo) Numerical frameworks such as PyTorch and JAX routinely compute matrix and tensor gradients via reverse-mode automatic differentiation (backpropagation) to train neural networks. By contrast, there has been a notable absence of symbolic implementations that produce exact, closed-form gradient expressions interpretable and well-suited to further algebraic manipulation. SymPy, an open-source computer algebra system written in Python, now provides comprehensive support for symbolic differentiation of matrices and N-dimensional arrays. The implementation gives users flexibility to work with either matrices or arrays, which can be handled in two ways: explicitly, by defining each component individually, or implicitly, as symbolic expressions. In the explicit case, the derivation algorithm is straightforward: the derivatives essentially amount to nested loops over the array dimensions. By contrast, the implicit algorithm is considerably more intricate, especially when deriving expressions that involve matrices. After outlining the key aspects of this algorithmic design, the talk showcases its practical value through selected examples that illustrate how closed-form symbolic matrix and tensor gradients can provide valuable insights and enable exact computations in various applications. About the Speaker: Francesco Bonazzi is a software developer and core maintainer of SymPy, a Python computer algebra system. He has contributed extensively to the library's physics, matrix algebra, tensor algebra, and probability modules. Currently, he works at Intesa Sanpaolo, focusing on the research and implementation of generative AI. Francesco holds a PhD in Physics and previously served as a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces in Germany and North Carolina State University in the U.S. \*\*\* **See you there! 🚀** **The PyData Milano Team**

🌿✨ **L’Acqua di San Giovanni** ✨🌿 Una notte magica, un rito antico, un gesto semplice carico di significato. Ti invito a celebrare insieme la tradizione de *L’Acqua di San Giovanni*, un rituale antico legato al solstizio d’estate che unisce natura, benessere e spiritualità. 🌸 **Cos’è?** Un infuso naturale preparato la notte tra il 23 e il 24 giugno, simbolo di purificazione, fortuna e salute. 🌼 **Come vivremo l’esperienza insieme** 📅 **Data:** Martedi 23 giugno 🕖 **Orario:** dalle 19:00 alle 20:30 circa 📍 **Ritrovo:** Parco Nord (zona laghetto) Da qui dopo una breve introduzione sul rito, partiremo per una passeggiata alla scoperta di fiori ed erbe spontanee da raccogliere e utilizzare. Raccogliendo i fiori, ci connetteremo con la natura e la ringrazieremo per l'abbondanza. Ogni partecipante avrà a disposizione un sacchettino per la raccolta e **verrà comunque assicurato un sacchettino di erbe** ciascuna. Alla fine del giro ci raccoglieremo in cerchio per condividere il "raccolto", per esprimere le nostre sensazioni ed emozioni durante l'esperienza e per condividere le istruzioni sul rituale da continuare a casa. 🌙 **Il Rituale a casa** Immergi le erbe in una ciotola d’acqua e lasciale all’aperto sotto la luna durante la notte per raccogliere la rugiada. 💧 **Il Mattino del 24 giugno** Usa l’acqua per lavare viso e mani, come gesto simbolico di rinnovamento, protezione e buon auspicio. ✨ Secondo la tradizione, questo rito protegge dai malefici, preserva la salute e porta prosperità. 🍹 Per chi vorrà, dopo la raccolta sarà possibile fermarsi per un aperitivo al Bar "Sun Strac". ⚠️ **Cosa portare:** – Acqua per idratarsi – Spray anti zanzare \- telo da mettere sull'erba per il momento di condivisione 📍 Contributo Workshop 15 euro comprensivo di: \- guida alle erbe \- sacchettino con erbe \- condivisione ⛈⛈ in caso di maltempo l'evento verrà annullato e la quota restituita. Possibilità di cancellare la prenotazione entro 48h con rimborso quota. **La presenza è confermata solo se verrà versata la quota con paypal, satispay o bonifico.** Si prega di confermare la presenza entro **sabato 20 giugno.** gruppo whatsapp: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t](https://chat.whatsapp.com/JPeImG8EK1P82157K4izWP?mode=gi_t&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBEwSm5KSjAxTGdIbjhQT253bnNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR5bdBI-Nu-T8qID49JMnx-Z2fXrUFKo893krrnynCxvUprF7ZQXrJMS1WNzuw_aem_Wm57xQwhB-IfI4Da-z3AJg)

🔍 **Description** Dai discorsi di apertura alle chiacchierate informali, Platmosphere ha lasciato una scia di idee. Questo meetup riassume le conversazioni che hanno suscitato maggiore interesse e spiega perché stanno influenzando l'evoluzione delle piattaforme e dei AI-native teams. * **Dal "Vibe Coding" al "Vibe Engineering"**: come abbandonare la generazione caotica di codice tramite prompt estemporanei per passare a un approccio ingegneristico governato, focalizzato sul definire il comportamento atteso del software e sul gestire in sicurezza il codice scritto dagli agenti AI. * **Il Dato come Fondamenta dell'AI (Data Fabric):** L'intelligenza artificiale non può funzionare su dati grezzi o silos isolati, ma richiede un'infrastruttura in tempo reale, pulita e arricchita di metadati per evitare fallimenti e operare in totale sicurezza operativa. * **Compliance-by-Design**: La compliance (come AI Act, GDPR e normative di settore) smette di essere un freno burocratico a valle dello sviluppo e diventa un requisito architetturale nativo automatizzato direttamente nei flussi della piattaforma. * **Composable Enterprise e Orchestrazione**: Per scalare la fiducia e la velocità di mercato, le aziende devono incapsulare le loro logiche in moduli riutilizzabili (Packaged Business Capabilities) orchestrati attraverso ecosistemi aperti, abbattendo i colli di bottiglia storici tra i vari team. * **Osservabilità e FinOps per gli Agenti AI**: L'adozione di agenti AI richiede l'estensione dei framework di monitoraggio per tracciare percorsi decisionali non-deterministici e l'integrazione di sistemi FinOps predittivi per controllare i costi nascosti legati al consumo di token. 🎙️**Speaker - Giulio Roggero** 25 anni di esperienza in software engineering, imprenditore seriale con oltre 10 iniziative imprenditoriali lanciate; oggi è co-founder e CTO di Mia-Platform de AI-Native Developer Platform Foundation nominata da Gartner “Cool Vendor” per Software Engineering Technologies e inserita nel Magic Quadrant delle piattaforme applicative cloud. Aree di interesse principali: AI, cloud native, platform engineering, data fabric ed omnichannel experience. Ama dipingere miniature di Blood Bowl, costruire con i Lego, assemblare e guidare modellini di auto radiocomandate e imparare a suonare il pianoforte. **📝 Agenda** * **18.15**: Accesso e Networking (iniziamo a conoscerci!) * **18:30:** Welcome * **18:45**: Talk * **19:30:** Q&A * **19:45:** Pizza and drinks Nessun meetup è completo senza un momento conviviale. Durante la serata saranno offerte **bevande, birra e pizza** per facilitare il networking e continuare le discussioni in modo informale. **⚠️ Nota importante:** I posti sono limitati per garantire la qualità della conversazione durante la tavola rotonda. Assicurati di fare RSVP il prima possibile! **Ti aspettiamo per dare forma insieme al futuro dello sviluppo software!** **Se arrivi dopo le 18.45 chiama il numero 0258100828 per farti aprire**

**ATTENTION** **The event is free, but in order to secure your spot, you have to register here** **[https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03](https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03 )** **Registered attendant will have priority entrance to the event** Halfway through 2026, OpenClaw is no longer a curiosity. The framework has moved into production: teams are running agents against real systems, the clone ecosystem continues to expand, and the conversations have shifted from "what is this" to "how do we operate it safely and at scale". After the strong response to our previous editions, we're back in Milano with the next chapter. This event combines the power of the cloud and the innovation of Agentic AI to explore how to bring claws into production. The event will be hosted at **Amazon Web Services** HQ in Milan. Whether you're already shipping agents in production, evaluating OpenClaw for a specific use case, or just want to understand where the ecosystem is headed, the session is built for engineers, architects, and tech leads working with AI agents day-to-day. ## **🔥 Agenda** **6:30–7:00 PM — Welcome & Networking** Opening, meetup presentation, and meeting networking. **7:00–7:45 PM — From personal agent to enterprise platform: why we built Ross** *Speaker: Giovanni Germani \-\- Head of Artificial Intelligence at Fastweb \+ Vodafone \| CEO @ NextMindLab* AI agents are rapidly moving from individual experimentation to increasingly mature forms of adoption, both in the consumer world and in the enterprise. With Ross, we started this journey by launching a global version as a secure B2C personal assistant, designed to make a useful, controlled, and reliable AI agent experience accessible to everyone. Now we are bringing this vision to the enterprise context as well, where requirements become more complex: governance, security, permission control, auditability, and a sustainable operating model. **7:45–8:30 PM — Inside Ross: toward an enterprise-grade AI agent, between secure runtime and integration platform** *Speaker: Mark Zampedroni -- Head of Product Development @ NextMindLab* Building an enterprise-grade AI agent doesn't simply mean taking an autonomous agent and putting it into production. It means progressively designing an ecosystem in which the model can act on enterprise systems in a useful, controlled, observable, and secure way. In this talk, we will describe the journey through which we are transforming Ross, our enterprise-grade version of OpenClaw, from an evolved prototype into a corporate asset ready for real-world scenarios. Part of the work has already been completed: controlled runtime, tool orchestration, execution isolation, action tracing, and initial governance mechanisms. Another part is still under construction: an increasingly solid permission management model, end-to-end auditability, operational security, and scalability across enterprise use cases. Particular focus will be dedicated to the creation of a dedicated platform to connect enterprise applications to Ross in a simple, standardized, and secure way. The goal is to enable teams to quickly integrate internal systems, APIs, workflows, and data sources, reducing technical complexity while maintaining centralized control over authorizations, credentials, logging, and usage policies. The talk will therefore offer a concrete look at what we have already built, the architectural choices we are consolidating, and the open challenges still ahead in bringing AI agents "with hands" into an enterprise context. **8:30–9:00 PM — Networking and Happy Hour** ## **💡 Why join?** After the first OpenClaw meetup in Milan, we're growing our community with this second event. We want to be your landing point for agent and OpenClaw development in Milano. Focused on business and devs, and everything that makes our claws thrive: * Understand why OpenClaw is accelerating in 2026 * See real-world use cases in action * Get hands-on experience in a supportive environment * Connect with Milan's emerging OpenClaw community * Find inspiration for your next project Bring your curiosity. Claws are on us 🦞🔥 **ATTENTION** **The event is free, but in order to secure your spot, you have to register here** **[https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03](https://radixia.zohobackstage.eu/oc-03)** **Registered attendant will have priority entrance to the event**

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

This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you. **SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events. **OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

**Self-Proclaimed Trivia Master, Paul, has all the questions AND answers**: All YOU have to do is bring the answers. Easy? Let's find out in the next rendition of Trivia Night. Let's warm up with the question that I like to ask to establish your knowledge of current events and IQ. Don't be shy. Shout this one out. What happened in April in America that had not happened since 1972 ? (warm up questions answer is posted at the bottom) Okay, not bad. I heard that. RSVP and form up into teams of up to 4 people when you show up. Compete for prizes so large we had to park them at the airport. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Dead Last (that one's more of a remedial learning aid, but it will be fun. I promise). **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! (ps - empty the glasses into the sink, not the trash ... please) **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host* **Answer**: *That's right!* / We sent a rocketship with live astronauts to the moon for a quick lap around our only natural satellite. They didn't land. And they never got out of the capsule... for 10 days! Been there. Done that! (It's like they're replaying all the greatest hits from my childhood.)

Cruise up the Upper Alum Creek on your kayak through the Osprey viewing area, winding your way past the tiny village of Kilbourne, and then landing at Henmick Farm & Brewery for a lunch on their patio with a wide selection of beers. Chose from their several food trucks. Don't enjoy too much as we have to paddle, at least downstream, back to our launch site. We launch at 9:30 from the Howard Road Boat Launch of the Alum Creek State Park. Ample parking and a kayak launch. Kayaks or canoes advised. Recreational paddleboarders might have a tough-time with the distance and speed. Please arrive early enough to launch at 9:30. Bring a hat, sunscreen, bug spray, and something to cover up while at Henmick Farm.

**Shark Week Kick Off -** In celebration of Shark Week (and to honor Nick's favorite animal, just after humans and bigfoot) we will serve shark themed wines and play the theme to Jaws in the background as our wittier members blurt out puns such as "I think we're going to need a bigger..." glass of wine... Shark Week runs from **Sunday, July 26, through Saturday, August 1, 2026**. The eight-day programming event will air on the Discovery Channel. **Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (cash or Venmo only please). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything. **Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples (cash or Venmo only please). And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass.

I hate having leftover wine. **Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum & Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies and clowns. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
