**On August 19, TechinTO is taking over IDK Social Bar** for our summer finale — and honestly, our biggest comeback yet. It's been a minute. Longer than usual, actually. We've been quiet all summer, heads-down figuring out how to make this the strongest room we've put together yet. Now we're back, the format is looser than ever, and the timing is perfect: one last blowout before everyone disappears into fall-grind mode. **Welcome Back, Toronto:** After the longest break we've taken yet, we're back in the room we love most. No stage, no slides, no pitch deck — just the return of TechinTO's original, unstiff energy. Grab a drink, mix and mingle, and actually connect. **The Summer Finale:** Consider this the closing party of the season. One last mixer before summer wraps for good — bring whatever energy you've got left and spend all of it here. **Come Ready to Show, Not Just Tell:** This one's for the builders. Whatever you've shipped, learned, pivoted on, or figured out over the break — this is the room to talk about it. Swap insight, show off what you're actually working on, and walk away having learned something from the person next to you. **The Crowd:** Entrepreneurs, devs, designers, and marketers who are actually moving the needle in this city. Bring your team — groups of three or more lock in a 25% discount at checkout. **📅 The Details** * When: Wednesday, August 19, 2026 * Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM * Where: IDK Social Bar (172 Ossington Ave) **🎟️ Secure Your Spot** Capacity is limited and the summer finale moves fast.

Hey Bitcoin Bay Community! 🍁 Canada’s longest-running crypto community is hosting a special, high-priority meetup to address the recent ColdCard hardware wallet vulnerability. **The Context:** On July 30th, a critical flaw was exposed in the Random Number Generator (RNG) and entropy collection of certain ColdCard devices during initial wallet generation.

No computers breached. **What We’ll Cover:** * **The Autopsy:** A technical (but accessible) breakdown of the RNG failure. * **Triage:** Step-by-step guidance on checking your specific device/seed for risk. * **The Narrative:** What this means for "Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins" and the broader self-custody landscape. * **Upgrades:** Exploring better entropy sources and advanced setups (like multi-sig). **The Format:** * 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM: Doors open, grab food & drinks, and network * 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM: Presentation by **Bitcoin Bay Research** + Live Q&A * 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM: Open networking, debate, and compare self-custody setups **Food & Drinks:** Snacks and beverages are on us, generously sponsored by **Chobits VAR**! Come hungry and leave educated. **The Details:** 📅 **Date:** Monday, August 10, 2026 ⏰ **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ET 📍 **Location:** Bitcoin Bay HQ, Greater Toronto Area (Full address and entry instructions will be emailed to confirmed attendees 24 hours prior) **Who Should Attend?** Bitcoin maximalists, traders, developers, newcomers, and anyone who currently holds their own keys (or is thinking about it).

Building AI Workflows in Production

Wed, Aug 19, 9:30 PM

From Toronto AI Developers Group

4.2

Important Register on the [event website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026081916) (Due to room capacity and building security, you must pre-register at the link for admission) AI is everywhere in development right now. Coding assistants. Autonomous agents. Background workflows. AI-generated PRs. But most teams are stuck in the same place: * Experiments work, production doesn’t. * AI writes code faster, but workflows break. * Agents generate output, but teams can’t trust or scale it. * And governance gets added too late, slowing everything down. This meetup is for developers and platform teams who want to understand what it actually takes to move from AI experimentation to production-ready workflows. We’ll focus on how teams are redesigning their development workflows to work with AI, not just adding tools on top. That includes how to structure workflows, manage agents, and introduce the right level of control without killing developer velocity. No hype. No tool comparisons. Just a clear look at why most AI workflows fail and what actually works at scale. **You’ll walk away with:** * \- A clear understanding of why most AI workflows break when moving to production * \- Insight into how AI changes the software development lifecycle\, not just coding * \- A practical model for structuring AI workflows across planning\, building\, and operations * \- Examples of how teams are introducing control and consistency without slowing developers down * \- A mental model for scaling AI usage across teams\, not just individual developers **Who this is for:** \- Beginner → intermediate software developers \- Platform engineers and DevOps folks supporting dev teams \- Anyone using $or wanting to use$ AI tools beyond simple autocomplete **Speakers/Topics:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship. Sponsors will not only speak at the meetups, receive prominent recognition, but also gain exposure to our extensive membership base of 10,000+ AI developers in Toronto or 500K+ worldwide.
