Agenda: 5:30-6pm: Doors open/networking 6-6:10pm: Opening remarks 6:10-6:35pm: Talk #1 6:35-6:50pm: Intermission 6:50-7:05pm: Lightning talk 7:05-7:30pm: Talk #2 7:30-7:40pm: Closing remarks After party to follow at Lucky Strike Bellevue (700 Bellevue Way NE Suite #250, Bellevue, WA 98004) What we'll do: This event will feature the following presentations: Talk #1: Building TowleVision: A Local-First AI Media Production System in Python Speaker: Tyrell Towle Description: TowleVision is a local-first, model-agnostic AI media production system built primarily in Python. This talk explores the engineering lessons behind coordinating narration, image generation, captioning, rendering, review, repair, and publishing as one structured workflow. Using sanitized interface views and finished-media examples, Tyrell R. Towle, PhD, will discuss deterministic orchestration around probabilistic models, interchangeable local AI backends, artifact logging, targeted reruns, and the practical strengths and risks of building substantial software with AI coding tools. Lightning talk: TBD Speaker: Ben Stickley Description: TBD Talk #2: Aging in Pandas: Building a Biological Age Clock from Public Health Data Speaker: Ramkumar Hariharan Description: "How old are you?" Simple question. You know the answer instantly — it's on your driver's license, it's the number people ask at parties. But here's the thing: that number is basically useless for telling you how healthy you are. I want you to picture two 50-year-olds. Same birthday, same age on paper. One of them has the blood chemistry of a 35-year-old — low inflammation, great metabolic markers, organs functioning beautifully. The other one's blood chemistry looks like a 65-year-old's. Same chronological age. Wildly different biological age. And it turns out biological age — not the number on your ID — is what actually predicts who gets sick, and who doesn't. Today I want

Who Should Attend Founders, investors, startup enthusiasts - basically anyone who enjoys talking startups without being trapped in a conference room. Why Walk & Talk? Because networking is better with fresh air and fewer awkward name-tag moments. Meet interesting people while getting your steps in. Have casual conversations that might turn into useful connections, ideas, or opportunities. Take advantage of the beautiful Seattle summer while it’s here. How Does Walk & Talk Work? Pretty simple: Form small groups of 2–4 people, start walking, and chat. Feel free to switch groups along the way. No 30-second elevator pitches required. Agenda 2:30 PM: Meet at the steps near The Infinite Fountain (Right inside from the parking lot.) 2:40 PM: Start walking! We’ll do 3 loops around Downtown Park. 3:20 PM: Reconvene near the steps: Exchange contacts, and stretch your legs. 3:30 PM: Wrap up. A Few Tips for Good Networking Come with an open mind. You never know who you’ll meet. Be kind, respectful, and inclusive. Give before you ask. The best networks are built on generosity. Practice active listening. We have two ears and one mouth let's use them roughly in that proportion. And most importantly: relax. It’s a walk in the park.

Join us for Agentic + AI Observability meetup on Tuesday, September 29 from 5pm - 8pm PST at the Databricks Bellevue office, for an evening focused on agentic architectures and AI observability: real-world deployment, smart routing, and automated incident resolution. This meetup is built for engineers, ML/AI practitioners, and AI startup founders who are already experimenting with agents (or planning to) and want to go deeper into the tech. We’ll cover real-world patterns, failure modes, and tooling for building a reliable meta-harness layer to manage agent execution, control and choice, state, and runtime policies across the broader ecosystem. Whether you’re at an early-stage startup or an established company, if you care about getting AI agents into production and keeping multi-agent systems healthy, this meetup is for you. Previous series speakers include Databricks, Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI and more. Why you should attend See real agentic architectures: Learn how teams design smart routing and meta-harness layers using Unity Gateway to optimize model execution without sacrificing caching performance. Explore automated incident response & tracing: See how tools like Genie ZeroOps handle structured root-cause investigations, evaluate agent choices, and automate system recovery when workloads fail. Connect with other builders: Meet engineers, founders, and practitioners working on similar problems, swap design patterns, and expand your network. Agenda 5:00pm: Registration/Mingling 6:00pm: Welcome Remarks 6:15pm: Talk #1: Route The Task, Not The Request: Smart Routing Without Breaking The Cache (Elise Gonzales, Staff Product Manager at Databricks) 6:45pm: Talk #2: Investigating & Resolving Data and AI incidents with Genie ZeroOps (Harshit Rai, Sr. Forward Deployed Engineer at Databricks) 7:15pm: Mingling with bites + dessert 8:00pm: Night Ends Session Descriptions: Route The Task, Not The Request: Smart Routing Without Breaking The CacheRouting sounds simple:
