OWASP Toronto February 2026 Chapter Event: Raising Cyber Awareness & Securing Shadow AI

Learn how Agentic AI enables systems to independently plan, decide, and act to automate multi-step workflows—practical, business-focused intro with a live demo for data engineers, AI builders, product managers. In this in-person Meetup talk you'll learn how agentic systems differ from single-prompt tools, see examples (support‑desk automation, automated report generation), discover implementation steps, and understand real-world outcomes and limitations. Format: guest talk + live demo followed by pizza networking—ideal for anyone building or evaluating AI automation and agents.

A focused, one-day, live, cohort-based workshop that teaches non-technical leaders how to use, build, and manage AI workflows with modern no-code tools.

AI in Production 2026 is a focused two-day conference held in June 2026 in Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK, at The Catalyst, 3 Science Square, Newcastle Helix. This event offers an immersive dive into AI and Machine Learning, tailored to professionals engaged in deploying and scaling AI systems and building smarter machine learning models. The conference is uniquely designed for those involved in both engineering and machine learning aspects of AI production. Day 1 features hands-on workshops led by Jumping Rivers experts and other industry specialists, where attendees can participate in two half-day sessions with lunch included. Workshop topics include prompt crafting, AI integration with LLMs in R and Python, productionizing with Databricks using the Medallion Architecture, enhancing workflows with Positron and Claude, smart app experiences with Shiny and LLMs, Databricks Genie Rooms for data discovery, and running self-hosted LLM inference infrastructure. An included evening drinks reception at the Catalyst atrium offers valuable networking opportunities in a relaxed setting, setting the stage for Day 2. Day 2 features a packed schedule of expert talks across two thematic streams: the Engineering Stream, focusing on infrastructure, deployment, and production readiness for AI systems; and the Machine Learning Stream, covering model development, evaluation, data responsibility, and applied project insights. The event targets AI engineers, machine learning practitioners, data scientists, and professionals involved in AI production workflows looking to deepen their expertise on deploying, scaling, and responsibly managing AI applications. Speakers and detailed schedules will be announced closer to the event. Registration includes workshop access, conference talks, and social events, providing a comprehensive experience for AI production professionals.
