The adoption of AI is accelerating in all areas of economic activity - in all verticals and across consumers, public and private sectors. In this event we will discuss key success factors in AI adoption, we will deconstruct AI jargon using plain language, and cover numerous use cases in full production across all verticals. *About the speaker:* **Carlos Escapa** is Executive in Residence at Across Legal in Barcelona Spain. He has held various roles at Amazon Web Services and Meta AI in Silicon Valley, where he specialised in the development of industrial alliances and global go-to-market ecosystems. Prior to that he was co-founder and CEO of VirtualSharp Software, with a successful exit to Unitrends Inc (Insight Venture Partners). Carlos has an MS from Virginia Tech in Computer Science, and a BS from Illinois State University. He is a guest lecturer of Innovation and Artificial Intelligence at Berkeley-Haas, ESADE and IE. **About his book *The AI-driven Business*** AI is no longer optional. Companies that integrate it strategically grow up to 650% faster than those adopting it tactically. Yet most business leaders struggle to move beyond pilots and proof-of-concepts. The gap between AI potential and AI reality remains vast. This book bridges the divide between technical AI and business strategy. Drawing from 60+ case studies and proprietary frameworks developed through training 1,400+ executives at ESADE, it offers a rigorous yet accessible guide to leading with AI—moving beyond the hype and into actionable transformation.

The next NoVABeerSec event - "Informal Gathering of Security Minds Over Beer" will be Wednesday, April 29th, 5:30PM til 7:30ish at Aslin Beer Company - Herndon Taproom (767 Elden St., Herndon VA 20170). **Venue for April:** Aslin Beer Company (https://www.aslinbeer.com) - Aslin Beer Co. was founded in 2015 by Andrew Kelley and Kai Leszkowicz. The name, Aslin, comes from the family that connected Andrew and Kai through marriage; they each married a daughter from the Aslin Family. Andrew’s professional background was in finance and consulting, while Kai worked in public service. They bonded over a shared interest of craft beer and home-brewing, which eventually lead to the idea that “We can do this too.” **Additional Info:** We are an inclusive group, so if we missed anyone please let us know or if you want to bring your significant other/spouse please do. We do know there are folks that have changed roles since we last met so please also let us know if we need to add new contact info for people. Have a great week and see you later this month!

Hi everyone, Join us for a relaxed and welcoming conversation about life, money, and everything in between. This group is a space to connect with other women, share experiences, and talk openly about topics we don’t always get to discuss in everyday life—whether that’s financial goals, career transitions, investing, or simply navigating life decisions. There’s no pressure and no preparation needed—just come as you are. We’ll keep things informal and conversational. I’ll guide us through a few light prompts to get the discussion started, and everyone is welcome to share as much or as little as they’d like. 📍 We’ll meet at the Barnes & Noble café in One Loudoun ⏰ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM I’ll be seated in the café area—look for me wearing something red and a small “Meetup” sign on the table. Feel free to come over and say hello when you arrive. If you’re on the fence, feel free to drop in—even for a short time 😊 Looking forward to meeting you! — Verna

**Agenda :** * 4.45 to 5.00 PM ET: Food and Networking * 5.00 to 5.50 PM ET: "Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit" Hello Everyone! Please join us for our April 14th edition of the AI-ML MeetUp. **Please note this is an in-person meeting and light refreshments/food will be provided. You will need a government-issued ID to enter the facility.** **Title:** Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit **Description:** Spec-Driven Development **flips the script** on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king — specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the "real work" of coding began. Spec-Driven Development changes this: **specifications become executable**, directly generating working implementations rather than just guiding them. In this hands-on lab, we will be covering building your application using SpecKit. Pre-requisites: VSCode v1.107, GitHub Copilot, Python 3.13 + uv, Git installed. **Location:** The meeting will be hosted in the Applied Information Sciences ( AIS ) office in Reston, at 11440 Commerce Park Dr # 600 · Reston, VA. The location is also right off the Silver Line metro's Wiehle-Reston Metro Station. **Parking:** Parking is paid and can be validated at the AIS office reception. We will meet in Room Lake Anne. We hope to see you all there!!!!
