Road to NODES is a series of free, two-hour, live workshops that walk you through building real graph-powered systems step by step. Sessions include: Oct 1 — Build knowledge graphs from unstructured documents and structured data, then power similarity search with embeddings and Neo4j vector indexes. Oct 8 — Tackle hallucinations at the structural level with GraphRAG retrieval, semantic tool selection, multi-agent swarms, and agent steering. Oct 15 — Build a lightweight knowledge layer over your documents and SQL data using tables of contents, themes, and a semantic connections layer. Oct 22 — Query Snowflake, Databricks, or Google BigQuery directly with Cypher using Neo4j Virtual Graph, no data movement required. Oct 29 — Build a full graph-based agent memory stack with hierarchical context graphs and dynamic playbooks. Nov 5 — Build a memory layer with the Neo4j Agent Memory Service, combining short-term conversation history, long-term entities, and reasoning traces in one graph. Each session runs live at multiple times to fit different time zones, so pick the slot and topics that work for you.

Highlights include: [Keynote] Different clocks: Why execution speed is a strategic choice Learn how MYOB built an AI product capability from the ground up over the past 18 months, making strategic choices and matching the pace of decisions to the pace of change. Agents don't fail, they guess: Designing contracts for multi-agent pipelines Learn practical patterns for building reliable multi-agent systems. The AI Native Squad: How small teams deliver faster with AI Discover how AI is reshaping team workflows and software delivery. First Responder: Agentic incident triage See how agentic AI can accelerate incident response in production. AI is a scout, not an engineer Rethink the role of AI in engineering and decision-making. Making chatbots sweat: Testing AI conversations at scale Learn how you can use AI to test AI, and how it catches failures before real people do. From dead-on-arrival to alive: How AI resurrects the humble ADR Discover how AI can transform ADRs into living guidance that keeps systems and teams aligned. Keeping sight of the cust

Dates: 22 August 2026 - LeetCode 5 September 2026 - Coding Dojo 19 September 2026 - LeetCode 3 October 2026 - Coding Dojo 17 October 2026 - LeetCode 31 October 2026 - Coding Dojo Timing: 2pm onwards Venue: HackerspaceSG Address: Textile Centre, #08-10, Singapore 199018 ​We'll be hanging out to practice some social coding - either as LeetCode Practice or as a Coding Dojo. \#\# No food provided \#\# Bring your laptop \#\# # ​We will be doing the Coding Dojo this week. Do you know what a Coding Dojo is? \> A Coding Dojo is a meeting where a bunch of coders get together to work on a programming challenge\. They are there to have fun and to engage in Deliberate Practice in order to improve their skills\. The focus of the Coding Dojo would be to help you improve your skills in the language you are working on (or ramping up on). We also hope that pair-programming with more experienced devs will help you level up. Format wise, the team will be given a Code Kata (a coding puzzle) where they have to solve by writing code. And through pair-programming, they will learn about writing test (TDD) and using advanced coding techniques from the more experienced devs in your group. ====================== What is a Code Kata? A kata is an exercise in karate where you repeat a form many, many times, making little improvements in each. You need to try it as many times as it takes, and be comfortable making mistakes. You need to look for feedback each time so you can work to improve. Remember that the point of the kata is not arriving at a correct answer. The point is the stuff you learn along the way. The goal is the practice, not the solution. # ​About JuniorDev SG: ​JuniorDevSG is a developer interest group that focuses on providing a place for junior developers to learn and network with each other. ​At the same time, we seek to be a support system to help junior developers break into tech, navigate their careers as well growing them to one day become senior developers or

0G DevDay: ZERO TO INFINITY National Gallery Singapore — where history was made. Now we build what's next. 0G DevDay takes over the Supreme Court Terrace & Glass Room at National Gallery Singapore, in the heart of the city's historic Civic District. Housed within the former Supreme Court and City Hall — two national monuments that witnessed some of the defining moments in Singapore's history — the Gallery is a place where the past is preserved and new ideas continue to take shape. Under the iconic Rotunda dome, historic architecture meets a soaring contemporary glass canopy — a fitting home for ZERO TO INFINITY. For this one day, this space becomes our playground for the next frontier: AI demos, ecosystem showcases, conversations, food, drinks, and the people building what comes next. A place that holds history. A day to create the next chapter. GUEST OF HONOUR ⚡ 0G Dev Day — Agenda 9:00 AM — Doors Open + VIP Breakfast Access Doors open for 0G Dev Day.
