Note: we are postponing and redesigning this event for November. This was a new event type and let's just say, it wasn't as popular as we thought it would be so, in true crowd-validator style, we are going back to the drawing board. Please contact us if you have constructive feedback. Thanks and Stay tuned! Tickets for this event are transferable to our other events or please request a refund. Alex Fair Original write up - subject to change. Presented by MedStartr in Partnership with ClawCamp You bring the vision. We'll help you launch a company — in a weekend. Healthcare is broken in a hundred ways we all see daily. You've felt it as a patient. diagnosed it as a clinician. doded around it as a builder, and hated it as a person who came into healthcare to help people. The things you see that could be better are hard to fix, and it bothers you that they seem incorrigible. But then you got an idea of something that could help, if you could just build it and get it in the hands of people like you to help patients get better care and the system and caregivers to give better care. We know, we have met thousands of you and ARE you too. That's why we have run this group for almost 18 years and done so many events. But now, with the help of AI and the new MedStartr.ai platform, we can help even more. So we created what we are calling a "Launchathon" to help with all that and this is the first one! The NYC HealthTech Launchathon is your chance to do something about it. No startup experience required. No coding background needed. Just bring your problem, your perspective, and your curiosity — and we'll bring the AI tools, expert faculty, mentors, investors, and community to help you build something real. The Program: 3 Phases, 8 Weeks 🔶 Phase I · HealthTech ClawCamp · August 1–2 \\Day 1 — August 1 \| Stack AI HQ\, One World Trade Center\\ Learn. Ideate.

Poised Between Forms brings together works made between 2025 and 2026, deliberately distant in language, technique and image construction, yet connected by the search for the same painterly gesture: soft, curved, recurring. MANI explores and transforms this movement through different materials and pictorial settings, so that it takes on new forms and meanings each time. In the exhibition, it is this very repetition that becomes the thread linking seemingly distant works. The gesture, together with painting, becomes the protagonist of the show. Colours, forms and marks enter into a relationship of attraction and resistance. The viewer stands at the centre of a pictorial language that at first glance does not seem unified, but gradually reveals a common origin: the repetition of a specific gesture, expressed differently each time. Brought together in the same space, the works respond to and change one another, inevitably transforming the way each one is seen. MANI, the artist name of Lorena Tiberi (Rome, 1997), is a visual artist whose work spans painting, sculpture and performance, centred on the relationship between body, gesture and material. Exhibiting since 2015, she has shown her work in Italy and abroad, across Rome, Berlin, Florence, Mexico City, Milan and Porto Ercole, at venues including Soho House Rome, ADI Design Museum, Forte Stella, Polveriera Guzman and SUarte Gallery. In 2024 she took part in Roma Arte in Nuvola, represented by Maison Bosi Gallery. Over the years her work has drawn the attention of Vogue Italia, Inside Art Magazine and Musei di Roma, and Rai Documentari has featured it in a documentary dedicated to her practice. In 2026 Inside Art also took an in-depth look at her most recent work and the central role gesture plays in her artistic process. Residencies at Studio Casoli in Filicudi and Luisa Catucci Gallery in Berlin have shaped the evolution of a constantly changing practice, in which gesture becomes material, trace and memory of the a

Speaker: Joseph Ogbenna Topic: Mastering SQL Window Functions Abstract: Most SQL users are comfortable with `GROUP BY`, `SUM()`, and `COUNT()`, but many business questions require more advanced analytical techniques. How do you rank top-performing products within each category? Calculate running sales totals without losing transaction-level detail? Compare a customer's current purchase to their previous one? Identify sales trends, customer inactivity, or consecutive periods of growth? In this practical and hands-on webinar, participants will learn how to use SQL Window Functions in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to perform advanced analytical calculations that go beyond traditional aggregations. Through realistic sales, customer, and product data scenarios, we will explore powerful functions such as `ROWNUMBER()`, `RANK()`, `DENSERANK()`, `LAG()`, `LEAD()`, and windowed aggregates to solve real business problems. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to write more efficient analytical queries, generate deeper insights from data, and apply modern SQL techniques commonly used by experienced data analysts and business intelligence professionals. Profile: Joseph Ogbenna is a specialized data analyst and analytics trainer who focuses on customer intelligence and business performance. With a technical background in SQL, Power BI, and Python, Joseph is an expert at transforming complex data into clear, actionable insights. He is known for his ability to simplify high-level analytical concepts for professionals of all skill levels. In this live session, Joseph will demonstrate how to bridge the gap between traditional spreadsheets and the future of work by integrating AI Copilot into your daily Excel workflow.

Welcome to the tenth instalment of the Copenhagen Advanced Machine Learning Study Group (CAMeLS-Group). We meet every second Monday to read and discuss a machine learning paper together at the "Snaren" reading area on the fourth floor of the Copenhagen Municipality Central Library. In a time of endless online chatter and AI-induced attention decay, we’re trying something entirely old: reading and discussing together in person. The idea is simple: bring your laptop or a printed copy of the paper - BUT DO NOT READ IT IN ADVANCE! During the session, we read each section individually at the same time, then pause to discuss it together before moving on. Once we’ve finished the paper, we come together for a broader discussion of the paper as a whole. Recommended prerequisites: some background in ML or related fields, at a level where you can read a paper in your favourite area. Don’t feel scared off if you have not yet graduated, but we will be reading research papers. In this session, we will be reading the paper SkillsBench: Benchmarking How Well Agent Skills Work Across Diverse Tasks. The paper can be found here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.12670 If you want to participate in the organisation of future events, please join the Danish Data Science Community Slack workspace and go to the CAMeLS-Group channel: https://join.slack.com/t/danskdatascie-o8m9638/shared_invite/zt-4975uw282-6M1vlRA50ck4uAg75CrluA

AI can help you build a product in days. It can't stop someone from copying it. What protects an AI startup is ownership: the IP that makes what you've built yours and hard to copy. Yet many founders quietly give up that ownership in their first months, by posting progress, demoing early, or pitching before they've protected anything. In this fireside chat, Kathryn Vatt, a former U.S. Patent Examiner who reviewed thousands of applications, shows founders where ownership leaks and how to plug it early. You'll leave knowing what to protect, when it matters, and how to build a moat investors trust. Bring your questions. ❯❯ RSVP now at https://fi.co/e/405383/meetup to get your link and join us live! ❯ Featured Speaker: Kathryn Vatt — Former U.S. Patent Examiner; Founder of moatly™ and VATT IP Management Kathryn is a former United States Patent Examiner with nearly 30 years of experience helping innovators protect what they build. After reviewing thousands of applications inside the Patent Office — seeing which succeeded, which failed, and why — she now helps early-stage founders become pitch-ready and IP-safe before they pitch, launch, or raise. She is the founder of moatly™ and VATT IP Management, Chapter Director of the Founder Institute IP Accelerator, and author of the forthcoming "Startup IP Strategy For Dummies" (Wiley, 2027). She has been recognized as the #1 global influencer in innovation and IP law. ❯ What You'll Learn: Why a working AI product isn't a moat, and what actually makes one defensible The common ways founders give up ownership early, from posting progress to demoing MVPs What patent examiners really look for, and why "patent pending" isn't the protection founders assume How to check whether you're stepping into existing patent territory that could block your launch What sophisticated investors check on your IP before they write a check How to protect ownership early without slowing down or spending a fortune on lawyers ❯ Who Should Att

Hosted by Traeger and sponsored by OTW Safety, this opening celebration kicks off a week of incredible events. Theme: Space Cowboy.
