SUMMARY:Doing Work That Matters - UX NS Meetup
DESCRIPTION:Details\n\n\n\n\n\nUX NS is excited to welcome Barb Spanton to this month’s meetup! \nThere’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. \nDoing 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.” \nThis talk looks beyond the idealized idea of “meaningful work” and into the lived reality of creating impact in complex\, highly regulated domains. \nWith 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. \nJoin UX NS for an engaging and thought-provoking evening. Snacks and drinks will be served. \nAgenda\n7:00 PM Doors open\, networking time\, snacks and drinks\n7:15 PM Introductions from the event hosts\, Nata and Ruby\n7:20 PM Doing Work That Matters with Barb Spanton\n7:50 PM Q&A\n8:15 PM Networking and wrap-up\n8:45 PM Doors close \nSpeaker Bio\nBarb is a UX leader with over 25 years of experience designing and delivering products in complex\, highly regulated domains\, primarily healthcare. Her work has been shaped by a belief that doing meaningful work—especially work that impacts patients and clinicians—is both deeply challenging and deeply rewarding. \nShe currently leads UX for Siemens Healthineers\, where she supports a global team building the next generation of oncology care solutions while advancing UX maturity across the organization. Barb has been an active voice in the UX community\, speaking and organizing events at the intersection of design and healthcare\, and is passionate about mentoring designers to thrive and have an impact in complex\, real-world environments. \nHow to find the event at Siemens Healthineers (1675 Grafton St. Suite 400\, Halifax\, Nova Scotia)\nEnter through the doors at the North Tower of the Nova Centre (Beside BMO) and head to the fourth floor via the elevators. \nAcknowledgements\nThank you enormously to Siemens Healthineers for sharing their space. Thank you to Digital Nova Scotia for their sponsorship of UX NS. \nSupport us\nUX NS are solely volunteer-run and always looking for sponsors. Besides\, if you liked the event\, please spread the word on social media and bring a friend next time!

SUMMARY:Halifax - Agentics Foundation Meetup
DESCRIPTION:♾️Agentics Foundation — Halifax Launch Meetup \n​Autonomous AI in Practice: From Curiosity to Capability \n​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. \n​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. \n​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. \n​What You’ll Learn \n\n\n​What “agentic AI” really means\nHow autonomous agents differ from chatbots\, copilots\, and traditional AI workflows. \n\n\n​Real tools\, real demos\nSee practical examples using agentic frameworks and infrastructure\, how agents coordinate tasks\, persist memory\, and execute actions in the real world. \n\n\n​From theory to practice\nWhere agentic systems are already being applied: automation\, research\, ops\, trading\, data pipelines\, and more. \n\n\n​How to get involved\nWays to contribute to open-source projects\, join global chapters\, or help shape the Halifax agentic AI community from day one. \n\n\n​Why This Meetup Matters \n​Halifax has a growing tech ecosystem\, but many builders are still encountering AI only through APIs and prompts. \n​This meetup is about: \n\n\n​Lowering the barrier to entry for agentic AI \n\n\n​Creating a local peer community for experimentation and learning \n\n\n​Connecting Halifax builders to a global\, open\, ethical AI movement \n\n\n​Making autonomous systems understandable\, accessible\, and practical \n\n\n​No gatekeeping. No hype-only talks. Just clear explanations\, live examples\, and honest discussion. \n​Who Should Attend \n\n\n​Software developers & engineers \n\n\n​Students and researchers \n\n\n​Founders and product builders \n\n\n​Data\, automation\, and AI practitioners \n\n\n​Anyone curious about where AI is heading next \n\n\n​You do not need prior experience with agent frameworks to attend. \n​About the Agentics Foundation \n​The Agentics Foundation is a not-for-profit organization focused on: \n\n\n​Advancing autonomous\, agent-based AI systems \n\n\n​Supporting open-source tools and education \n\n\n​Building an inclusive global community around ethical\, real-world agentic AI \n\n\n​Helping individuals and organizations learn\, deploy\, and manage AI agents responsibly \n\n\n​This Halifax meetup is the starting point for a recurring local chapter with ongoing talks\, workshops\, and collaborations. \n​If you’ve been wondering “what’s beyond chatbots?” \n​If you’ve been curious but unsure where to start… \n​If you want to help shape how autonomous AI develops locally \n​This is your entry point.
