Thursday, June 12

Thursday from 1 – 4 p.m., both online and at Guidepoint Security: Tampa Bay ISSA presents Warren Shane, Sales Director at Cyberint, with a talk about AI security, prompt injection, and insider threat, followed by a happy hour.

Thursday from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Entrepreneur Collaborative Center (Tampa): Tampa Java user Group presents Building Reliable Applications with Temporal!

What if you could guarantee that any series of services would never fail? What if there is a better way to create, test and debug reliable applications?

Temporal is an open source programming model that simplifies your code, makes your applications more reliable and helps you deliver more features faster. It abstracts away the complexities around retries, rollbacks, queues, state machines, and timers so that developers spend their time focused on writing business logic, instead of all of the failure conditions. It introduces a new paradigm that helps you manage simple tasks or a series of complex procedures so that they are executed reliably until completion, or they will elegantly fail. Testing becomes as easy as writing and running unit tests.

Thursday at 6:30 p.m., online: Tampa Bay Women in Agile will feature Unlocking Enterprise Agility: From Chaos to Clarity, featuring presenter Apinder Bedi.

Explore why up to 70% of enterprise Agile transformations silently fail and how organizations can overcome these pitfalls by embracing true enterprise agility. It challenges the notion that adopting Agile frameworks equals business agility and outlines actionable shifts leaders must make to unlock real, sustainable value.

Thursday at 7 p.m. at Neon Temple (Tampa): The Temple’s BlondeTechie will present Grow Strong: Gardening for Mind and Survival, where she’ll share how she started her Florida garden with two goals — building food security and finding peace. From humble beginnings to the vision of a full food forest, she’ll also highlight resilient crops perfect for our local climate.

About this list

How do I put this list together?

It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrapes Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgment calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.

In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.

What goes into this list?

I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:

• • Programming, DevOps, systems administration, and testing
  • Tech project management / agile processes
  • Video, board, and role-playing games
  • Book, philosophy, and discussion clubs
  • Tech, business, and entrepreneur networking events
  • Toastmasters and other events related to improving your presentation and public speaking skills, because nerds really need to up their presentation game
  • Sci-fi, fantasy, and other genre fandoms

• Self-improvement, especially of the sort that appeals to techies
• Anything I deem geeky
