♾️Agentics Foundation — Halifax Launch Meetup Autonomous AI in Practice: From Curiosity to Capability Agentic AI is no longer a theory experiment or a lab curiosity. It’s becoming a practical way to build systems that plan, decide, act, and adapt, with real autonomy. This meetup marks the first Halifax gathering of the Agentics Foundation, a global, not-for-profit community dedicated to advancing agent-based artificial intelligence through open tools, education, and collaboration. Whether you’re new to the idea of autonomous agents or already experimenting with them, this session is designed to help you understand what agentic AI actually is, why it matters, and how people are using it today. What You’ll Learn What “agentic AI” really means How autonomous agents differ from chatbots, copilots, and traditional AI workflows. Real tools, real demos See practical examples using agentic frameworks and infrastructure, how agents coordinate tasks, persist memory, and execute actions in the real world. From theory to practice Where agentic systems are already being applied: automation, research, ops, trading, data pipelines, and more. How to get involved Ways to contribute to open-source projects, join global chapters, or help shape the Halifax agentic AI community from day one. Why This Meetup Matters Halifax has a […] |

Details UX NS is excited to welcome Barb Spanton to this month’s meetup! There’s a quiet shift happening in the industry. UX professionals are drawn to work that genuinely helps people - work that aims to make a difference and solve real problems. For many, that path leads to healthcare products and services. Then reality hits. Doing meaningful work in healthcare is hard. Progress is slow. Regulation is heavy. Legacy systems, complex integrations, and high stakes are the norm. Meanwhile, fast-moving startups promise higher pay, shinier titles, and the thrill of “moving fast and breaking things.” This talk looks beyond the idealized idea of “meaningful work” and into the lived reality of creating impact in complex, highly regulated domains. With Barb Spanton, this session will explore what impact really means in healthcare, why it’s often underestimated, and how professionals can find purpose, progress, and influence—even when the work is anything but glamorous. Join UX NS for an engaging and thought-provoking evening. Snacks and drinks will be served. Agenda 7:00 PM Doors open, networking time, snacks and drinks 7:15 PM Introductions from the event hosts, Nata and Ruby 7:20 PM Doing Work That Matters with Barb Spanton 7:50 PM Q&A 8:15 PM Networking and wrap-up 8:45 PM Doors close […] |
