Learn practical strategies to build modern data architectures and production-ready AI agents, turning your data into a long-term competitive advantage.

July 8: Architecture for Sustaining Open Source in Web 3

Open source is the foundation of Web3, but most ecosystems still fund it like a series of short-term projects instead of long-term public infrastructure. As decentralized networks grow, the real challenge is no longer just building software. It is maintaining the critical code, tooling, standards, and contributor communities that keep the ecosystem secure, usable, and resilient.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how Web3 ecosystems can move from reactive funding toward intentional stewardship of open source infrastructure.

July 15: AI & Society | AI in Law (Part II)

AI in Law Part II — How Lawyers Are Using AI, and What It Means for All of Us
AI is no longer a future-state conversation for the legal profession. It is already in the room — drafting, researching, reviewing, and advising. But as lawyers adopt these tools at pace, the implications extend well beyond the profession itself.
What happens to access to justice? Who is accountable when AI gets it wrong? And what does AI mean for one of the most complex corners of law — intellectual property and patents?

These are not hypothetical questions. They are live, and they matter to all of us.
