Prediction Markets: Beyond the Bet

Fri, Oct 2, 3:15 PM

From Friday Coffee Meetup

4.8

Prediction markets allow people to trade on whether a future event will happen, from election outcomes and interest rate decisions to economic indicators and business events. While prediction markets have been around for years, they’re rapidly evolving beyond betting and speculation. Growing participation, new technology, regulatory changes, and the rise of AI are expanding their potential uses for forecasting, risk management, financial products, data, and decision making. Maria Cannizzo, Founder & CEO of Kelvon, will break down how prediction markets work, what’s driving their growth, who’s participating, and where the industry is headed. She’ll also explore the challenges created by a market that is currently fragmented across different platforms, contracts, terminology, and settlement rules — and how new infrastructure is being built to help businesses reliably tap into prediction market data and intelligence. Whether you already follow prediction markets or are simply wondering what all the buzz is about, this conversation will offer an accessible look at this emerging financial and technology ecosystem and why its potential may extend well beyond the bet. **About Maria Cannizzo** Maria Cannizzo is the Founder and CEO of Kelvon, an intelligent infrastructure and data platform for event and prediction markets. She has spent more than 15 years building enterprise financial technology at both large corporations and early-stage startups, with experience developing and scaling global FinTech infrastructure across traditional finance and digital assets. Today, she is building Kelvon for a future where event markets are embedded across financial products, AI systems, data platforms, and enterprise applications. **Networking** Come early to connect with fellow founders, technologists, creatives, and community members. Friday Coffee Meetup is as much about the people in the room as it is about the conversation on stage. FoundrSpace Coworking: 87 North Raymond Avenue · Pasadena, CA Street parking is available and there is a Public Parking lot 1 block north of the building. Accessibility: FoundrSpace is located in a historical building without elevator access. If you require assistance, please email pasadena@foundrspace.com and admin@innovatepasadena.org by September 25th.

AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World @ 310 Coffee

Fri, Oct 2, 10:00 PM

From AI, Art & Vibecoding - StrangeNew.World

4.9

We frame ourselves as **"a support group for the technological singularity"** and we are an eclectic mix of open-minded thinkers, artists, and tinkerers who believe in embracing the emerging technologies and capabilities in the most humanitarian way possible. Our meetings have a super casual and open atmosphere where all are welcome to contribute. Feel free to come late or leave early. So whether you're an AI enthusiast or skeptic, a creative professional already using AI on the daily, or someone just starting their first vibe coding project, this group may be for you! **NOW NEW & IMPROVED** We are doing "Hack-a-salons" after every meeting (starting at 5pm) now that 310 Coffee is staying open later. So please bring your laptops or art projects, or works in progress that you have questions on or want to present to the group. No podiums... only passion projects, good people and great vibes! ☺️ **What to Expect** Interesting conversations, relevant content, and educational resources. We are a diverse community of people who want to help each other and the world around us. We meet in person once a week at **310 Coffee in Culver City from 3-5pm**, we share our work and interesting news in our Whatsapp group, put on remote Learning Labs, go to events together, and encourage our members (who have the availability) to participate in a learning collective where we can volunteer to give each other one-on-one crash courses in various artistic, technical, and entrepreneurial disciplines. Here is a list of what we can teach: [https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know](https://strangenew.world/labs/what-we-know) We also encourage each of our members to take on a Passion Project, which could be as simple as getting up and running with a new artistic medium or project, or as complex as laying the groundwork for your dream business or career. We believe there has never been a better time (at least in OUR lifetimes) to set your sights on what your ideal life would be two years from now and then just start moving toward it. And maybe we can help you do that by giving you the hand-holding you need to get over that first hump, which can sometimes be the most difficult part. **How to Give Back** If you are a member looking to give back, or if you like what our organization is doing, then please follow, subscribe, rate us, and smash that like! 🤣 I know it seems silly to many of you, but in the attention economy, just the act of following us, liking our posts, and reviewing our events can make a huge difference in how the algorithm shines upon us. Also, if you would like to support us in a more direct way, please consider giving us a one-time donation, subscribing to one of our tiers, or sponsoring us. We pay for a lot of stuff out of pocket, so please consider becoming a patron to support the overall longevity of our group and vision. [https://strangenew.world/support-us](https://strangenew.world/support-us) **More Information** What we explore during our meetings really depends on who shows up and what they want to discuss: * The changing job market. What skills will matter in 10 years * The future of business and the creative industries * Chatbots, LLMs, and Agentic Workflows * Using AI for scientific or artistic exploration * Will generative art destroy Hollywood or save it? * What is consciousness? What constitutes intelligence? * The various types/platforms of vibecoding and which is best for your project * The end of capitalism as we know it * Are we entering the 2nd Cognitive Revolution? **Learn more at: [https://strangenew.world](https://strangenew.world)**

KONG API + AI Summit 2026

Thu, Oct 1, 6:00 AM

From Kong/HQ

4.3

**[REGISTER HERE](https://konghq.com/events/conferences/api-ai-summit#register)** Unable to join us in LA? We will be live streaming the keynotes virtually. Breakouts, hands-on labs and networking experiences remain only for those on site in LA however, don't miss what's happening on the main stage...LIVE. **[REGISTER HERE](https://konghq.com/events/conferences/api-ai-summit#register)** *** Most agent demos work great in isolation. Then someone asks them to connect to a real enterprise data source, respect an identity boundary, or carry context across a multi-agent workflow — and the cracks show. **API + AI Summit is where engineers fix that.** Sept 30 – Oct 1, 2026 · InterContinental Los Angeles (in-person) *** **What's on the table:** * **Context Engineering** — Agents don't fail at reasoning. They fail at connecting. This track covers the connectivity layer between agents and the enterprise context they need to act: grounding, identity enforcement, MCP for enterprise interoperability. * **Agentic Architecture Best Practices** — The next generation of agents doesn't wait to be asked. Running Kafka? You're closer to autonomous AI than your roadmap assumes. * **AI Governance** — Govern LLM access, secure prompt and response traffic, build the audit infrastructure production agentic systems actually demand. * **APIs for the AI Era** — Your API platform is either an accelerator or a bottleneck for AI adoption. No middle ground. Rebuild the foundation AI workloads actually require. * **Token Cost Management** — Token maxxing, AI margin erosion, and context sprawl are showing up on invoices nobody budgeted for. Get ahead of both sides: monetization and cost governance. * **Agent Stack Labs** — Stop watching. Start building. Five hands-on labs covering AI gateways, agent orchestration, context retrieval, and agentic developer platforms. Bring your laptop. ***
