🌟More about the talks:
Olle E. Johansson - OWASP and the CRA: A good match
In this talk Olle E. Johansson will update on the EU CRA legislation and talk about the toolchain and projects needed to manage vulnerabilities. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) aims to safeguard consumers and businesses buying software or hardware products with digital elements. The CRA entered into force on 10 December 2024. The main obligations introduced by the Act will apply from 11 December 2027, with reporting obligations to apply as of 11 September 2026. One of the focus areas is vulnerability management. To keep a product secure during its lifetime, all 3rd party components will have to be monitored and up to date. At the heart of this process is the Software Bill of Materials, SBOM, which is used to monitor for known vulnerabilities in both Open Source and commercial components. The talk will cover projects such as OWASP ECMA TC54 - PURL, CycloneDX, CLE and TEA that fit right in with CycloneDX working with various kinds of bill-of-materials for a long time.

Filip Nilsson - Splitting secrets: Shamir’s Secret Sharing and Zero-Knowledge Proofs
How can you share a secret without revealing it, or prove you know something without showing what it is? Through two hands-on hobby projects, Filip will explore the fascinating world of cryptography, demonstrating how Shamir’s Secret Sharing and Zero-Knowledge Proofs work in practice and how these seemingly magical concepts can solve real-world problems.

Kristian Alvarez Jörgensen - Securing autonomous agents
Organizations are rushing into incorporating autonomous agents into their day to day operations, but little consideration has generally gone into how those systems should be secured. Kristian will dive into the unique challenges that attempting to secure agents presents and explore what potential solutions and tools that exist.

• Intro by Magnus Sedlacek
• Roc and Joy: Productivity in Production by Niclas Ahden

Roc and Joy: Productivity in Production
We all want a programming language which keeps us productive, while writing the best software that we can. Roc is a language which helps you do exactly that, through its compilation times, performance, type safety, error handling, and great compiler features.
I'm Niclas and have been using Roc in production for the past two years, while helping to build out the ecosystem for practical applications.

You'll see the why of Roc, how it helps you be more productive, and what it means to be “fast, friendly, and functional” through code examples and demos. We’ll look at Roc’s features and an Elm-like full-stack web framework called Joy, which already powers real web apps in the wild.
No Roc or functional programming experience required. Hopefully you’ll walk away feeling even more excited about programming than when you came in!

👾 Israel Ochoa — About Me
"16 years of watching systems burn. I have dashboards for that." 🔥
Hey, I'm Israel — Senior Observability Architect at Grafana Labs , based in Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪.
Yes, I'm Mexican 🌮. Yes, I live in Sweden. No, I don't regret it. (The meatballs are surprisingly good with habanero salsa.)
My Grafana teammates call me the "Warden of the North" 🏰 — I work from Stockholm, so geographically they're not wrong.
I've embraced it fully. There's a throne. It has a Grafana dashboard. 📊
I genuinely believe good dashboards save lives, better alerts and incident management are the difference between "we caught it before users noticed" and "we found out from X/Reddit", runbooks are love letters to your future self and customer service is everything... you're a customer yourself.

Cybersecurity / InfoSec conference in Stockholm, Sweden

A hands-on workshop for freelancers who want to create content with AI that communicates their expertise. With Sofía Vallejo.

A hands-on workshop for freelancers who want to create content that communicates their expertise and helps potential clients understand what they offer, without sounding generic or spending hours staring at a blank page.

Participants will learn the basic content knowledge, how to give AI the right context, generate relevant content ideas, and edit the output so it reflects their own voice.

We will focus on Instagram examples, with a process that can also be applied to LinkedIn.

Each participant will leave with at least three tailored content ideas, one ready-to-use post draft, and a reusable prompt framework.

The workshop will be delivered in English. No previous AI experience is required.

A workshop designed for freelancers

The workshop is designed for freelancers who want to communicate their services more clearly and use content to start conversations with potential clients. Its purpose is to make AI-assisted content creation practical and approachable, while keeping each participant’s expertise, personality and judgement at the centre.

About the host: Sofía Vallejo

Sofía Vallejo works on personal-brand strategy, storytelling and content creation, with a particular focus on Instagram. Her client work includes content planning, scripts and launch materials, and she uses AI tools to support research, ideation and drafting. In this workshop, she will share a practical process for turning professional expertise into content, using AI as a supporting tool rather than a replacement for the person’s own voice.

Breakfast is included. Seats are free but limited.

Vi ser fram emot en inspirerande kväll tillsammans i Stockholm!

AI is changing what work looks like, from recruitment and performance management to the skills your teams will need in three years. Will it augment people or replace them, and who risks being left behind?

In this lunch session, IWIB4AI founder and AI lawyer Tatiana Caldas-Löttiger explores what AI really means for jobs, leadership and workplace culture. She covers the rules that apply when AI is used to manage people, and how to lead a fair and inclusive transition that brings your workforce with you.

Part of the series Lunch & Learn with IWIB4AI: Leading Responsibly in the Age of AI

What you'll get

• Augmentation vs. automation: which tasks are really changing, and why AI's impact falls unevenly, including across gender
• The legal red lines for AI in HR: why recruitment and worker management count as high-risk under the EU AI Act, and why emotion recognition at work is prohibited
• Workplace surveillance, algorithmic management and trust, and how this connects to the Swedish tradition of co-determination
• Leading the transition: AI literacy as a workforce strategy, reskilling, involving employees early and inclusive leadership
• A live dilemma with anonymous polling, open Q&A, and a one-page takeaway: the Responsible AI at Work guide

Just when you got the hang of LLMs, a new kind of AI shows up.
On September 26, 2026, Typesafe launched Jev, a brand new type of AI model. It’s not another chatbot. It’s a decision model. Here is the big difference: LLMs generate decisions. Decision models make them.

And it’s moving fast. In October, OpenAI and Microsoft released decision models of their own. Product teams are already testing them because they are very useful and very cheap. Some teams have even added them to their plans for the year.

So what does this mean for you, the everyday PM?

That’s exactly what we want to find out together.
This night is mostly product, with a little tech sprinkled in. You don’t need to be an engineer to follow along. You’ll leave knowing:
✅ What decision models are, in plain words
✅ How they could work in a real product flow
✅ Where they fit next to your current LLM tools, and where they might replace them
✅ How to tell if they make sense for your team

Hear from teams who are already on it
🎤 Diego Zanlorenzi, Engineering Manager: Lending Experience, Sambla Group
Sambla team has already found some easy applications in their product flows. Diego will share some examples of how powerful this could be.
🎤 Pratinav Gera, Group Lead - Product Data & Search, Klarna
Pratinav will show how Klarna is putting decision models to work.
🎤 Speaker #3
Coming soon. Stay tuned!

Samtal med kompositören och AI-forskaren Ali Nikrang samt utställning av det självlärande instrumentet "The Spectral Parrot".

Möt AI-forskaren och kompositören Ali Nikrang i ett samtal om hur artificiell intelligens och generativa tekniker formar det kreativa landskapet. Under kvällen presenterar även kontrabassisten och konstnären Adam Pultz en installation av ”The Spectral Parrot” – ett självspelande instrument styrt av maskininlärning.

Artificiell intelligens i musik har på kort tid blivit ett av samtidens mest omdiskuterade ämnen. Den snabba utvecklingen väcker frågor om autenticitet, konstnärlig integritet och hållbarhet. Samtidigt är maskiner och generativa tekniker inom musik inget nytt fenomen. Kompositörer och konstnärer har i decennier använt och utvecklat ny teknik vilket historiskt ofta väckt både entusiasm och oro.

I ett samtal med professor Ali Nikrang närmar vi oss AI och generativa tekniker i musik ur ett etiskt, historiskt och kulturellt perspektiv. I samtalet kommer han även att gå in på vad som händer med kroppen, performativ kunskap och konstnärliga traditioner när AI präglar skapandet. Ali Nikrang är multidisciplinär konstnär, kompositör och AI-forskare. I hans arbete vid Hochschule für Musik und Theater München och Ars Electronica Futurelab, förenar han utveckling av AI-baserade system med komposition samt konstnärlig och vetenskaplig forskning.

Evenemanget arrangeras i samarbete med Fylkingen och Tyska Ambassaden i Stockholm.

Upplev maskininlärning i realtid i vårt bibliotek!

Under kvällen finns också möjlighet att se en installation av verket The Spectral Parrot av den Berlinbaserade kompositören och kontrabassisten Adam Pultz. Verket är ett självspelande instrument med åtta strängar. Med hjälp av motorer och artificiell intelligens stäms dessa strängar och genom att lyssna på ljud lär sig The Spectral Parrot gradvis att efterlikna (härma) olika klanger.

Till skillnad från många AI-system, såsom Chat GPT eller Copilot, som tränas i accelererande hastighet i digitala miljöer, lär sig The Spectral Parrot i den fysiska världen. Eftersom instrumentet måste stämma sina strängar och skapa verkliga ljud tar inlärningen lång tid och blir ett sätt att i realtid uppleva maskininlärning på nära håll.

Adam Pultz kommer under kvällen att presentera The Spectral Parrot, och ge en kort introduktion till verket där det också finns möjlighet att ställa frågor.

Vi välkomnar alla gäster att tillsammans avsluta kvällen med mingel i vårt bibliotek.

På festivalen Visioner av Nuet utforskas relationen mellan konst och teknologi. Festivalen arrangerades för första gången av Fylkingen på Tekniska museet 1966. Årets upplaga markerar därmed 60-årsjubileet och äger rum den 12-14 november på Tekniska museet, Fylkingen och Goethe-Institut Schweden.

Genom arkivmaterial, konserter, ljudkonst och samtal får publiken både återvända till festivalen 1966 och uppleva samtida verk. Samtida elektronmusik och ljudkonst möter historien och visar hur ny teknik fortsätter att forma konstnärliga uttryck.

Mer information om programmet på Tekniska Museet och Fylkingen hittar du här.

Fredag 13 november kl. 20 framför Adam Pultz ett performance på Fylkingen, där The Spectral Parrot är en del.

Mingel with other GIS, Earth Observation or remote sensing professionals.

Are you a woman, non-binary or gender-diverse professional working across space, GIS, Earth observation or remote sensing? Or do you bring another perspective that the space sector needs more of? Then this event is for you.
Please register here: https://lnkd.in/ehNZrYA7

This networking event is hosted as part of the Swedish Space Data Lab, an initiative supporting innovation by bringing together public authorities, companies, researchers and service developers who want to create new applications and services using space data.

Space is built by many different people, and the future of the sector benefits from every perspective, every experience and every orbit. Come and meet new people, exchange ideas, grow your network and get inspired by the work happening across industry, research and the public sector.

We treat you to light refreshments. Please register here: https://lnkd.in/ehNZrYA7

Open Data Forum brings together tech experts and business leaders to explore how open data technologies enable scalable, secure AI.

Skip the generic AI hype and high-level pitch decks. We’re breaking down the actual production stack—real-time streaming, DAG orchestration, vector search, open databases, and zero-trust infra — to show how a vendor-free data pipeline actually connects under the hood.

WHO ARE WE?

Hosted by Simon Forshaw, Bård Hakkestad, and Nion (hands-on tech & delivery specialists), alongside our partners IBM and Arrow. We're bringing together deep technical insights from stack heavyweights including Confluent, Astronomer, Red Hat, HashiCorp, EDB/PostgreSQL, and DataStax.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

A session-by-session, live reference architecture build. You’ll see how these six distinct open technologies integrate at the system level—solving the real-world engineering hurdles of latency, security, scale, and schema control from raw data ingest to enterprise AI output.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Data Engineers, Solutions Architects, CTOs, and Tech Leads — alongside the commercial decision-makers funding the infrastructure.

Är du entreprenör upp till 35 år med höga ambitioner?

Torsdag 19 november bjuder YEoS in till AW på Epicenter i Stockholm med Rickard Lyko. Han delar resan med Lyko, som byggts med stora visioner, högt tempo och viljan att hela tiden ta nästa steg.

YEoS är Sveriges varmaste community för entreprenörer. Välkommen till en kväll med likasinnade som fattar det du sitter med, med människor som kan göra din resa ännu roligare.

Hur bygger man något mycket större än man först trodde var möjligt? Och vad gör man när några av besluten på vägen visar sig vara fel?

“Det största misstaget är att inte bygga infrastruktur innan man måste. Men struktur räcker inte. Man måste också bygga en kultur där organisationen är modig nog att berätta när något har gått fel. Då både minskar man riskerna och fångar möjligheterna.” – Rickard Lyko

Program
17.00 AW och mingel
17.30 YEoS Stories med Rickard Lyko följt av mingel
19.30 Kvällen avslutas

För vem?
Kvällen är öppen för dig som är entreprenör upp till 35 år och bygger eget bolag. I anmälan svarar du på några korta frågor om dig och ditt bolag. Vi går igenom alla ansökningar och bekräftar din plats via mejl.

Praktiskt

Välkommen till premiären av Shift Thinking by The Human Shift!

Ett samtalsdrivet nätverk över lunch – för dig som vill tänka tillsammans med andra kring människa, AI och organisation. För dig som driver, leder eller möjliggör förändring.

AI utvecklas snabbt. Men utvecklas våra organisationer i samma takt?

Vad händer med ledarskap, roller och arbetssätt när tekniken förändrar förutsättningarna – och vad krävs för att vi ska kunna skapa verkligt värde?

Vi börjar med mingel följt av en kort inramning av dagens tema. Därefter blir det lunch och samtal runt borden. Här möts olika erfarenheter och perspektiv för att diskutera kring praktiska frågeställningar som många företag står inför just nu.

Fredag 20 november 2026, kl. 11.30–13.00. Mingel från 11:30 så drar vi igång vid 11:45.

Deltagandet i nätverket är kostnadsfritt. Lunchen betalas av respektive deltagare till självkostnadspris.

Antalet platser är begränsat.

Varmt välkommen!

Vem kan egentligen använda internet? Fira Wikipediadagen 22/11 med samtal, demos & mingel. Kom och fira ett öppet internet med oss!

Söndag 22 november samlar vi människor som bryr sig om ett fritt internet på årets Wikipediadag på Norrsken House in Stockholm. Temat är hur vi skapar ett internet för alla.

När techjättar och stater kämpar om makten över internet glöms en grundläggande fråga ofta bort: vem kan faktiskt använda det? Vem ska äga tekniken som gör internet tillgängligt? Och vad händer med de språk som techbolagen inte prioriterar?

För många människor är text ett hinder. Den som har en synnedsättning eller dyslexi, eller som inte kan ta in text, behöver kunna lyssna för att ta del av kunskap. Men tekniken som gör det möjligt, som talsynteser och AI-röster, domineras av bolag som äger både koden och datan.

Det finns ett annat sätt. I projektet Wikispeech bygger Wikimedia Sverige öppen talteknik för Wikipedia, tillsammans med användare, volontärer och partnerorganisationer. Det är teknik som alla kan använda och utveckla vidare.

Dagen bjuder på presentationer, samtal och demonstrationer. Bland annat visar vi ett av våra tekniska verktyg för en utomstående publik för första gången. Vi avslutas med mingel och möjlighet att testa på verktyget.

Du får träffa människorna bakom Wikispeech och höra hur arbetet faktiskt går till. Du möter organisationer som arbetar med digital tillgänglighet, som Dyslexiförbundet, Afasiförbundet och FUB. Och du träffar andra som delar din bild av vad internet kan vara.

Vem som kan använda internet avgörs av vilka som är med och bygger det. Kom och bidra med din röst.

Evenemanget sänds live och publiceras i efterhand i Wikimedia Sveriges kanaler.

Lokalen är tillgänglighetsanpassad för rullstol.

Welcome to the last meetup for the year with Stockholm SQL. This time, we have two dutchies in town: Peter Kruis and Tonie Huizer.

As we have gotten used to, we meet in B3s office on Wallingatan in Stockholm. Again: Big Thank You to B3 for letting us host Stockholm SQL in your office!

We start at 18:00 with some hearty sandwiches and something to drink and then we start the sessions. Since we have TWO sessions on the same night, we will cut the mingle time at the beginning shorter.

Peter Kruis: Query Store Basics: A DBA's best friend
Ever wondered why your queries are running differently today than they did last week? Query Store in SQL Server can help you figure that out! In this session, we’ll break down the basics of Query Store, designed especially for junior or accidental DBAs.

We’ll talk about what Query Store does, how it works and how it evolved over time, and why it’s such a great tool for keeping track of query performance over time. With explanations and demos, you’ll learn how to use Query Store to spot performance issues, dig into query execution plans, and even prevent bad plans from ruining your day.

If you’re new to SQL Server or just looking for a practical way to optimize query performance, this session will help you to get started.

Tonie Huizer: Proven SQL, New Tricks: AI, DAB and MCP
Meet a SQL Server Estate with over 15 years of history. Stored procedures, business rules, valuable data, and probably a few things nobody dares to touch anymore.
Now someone wants to use it with AI. Do we really need to rewrite everything? Of course not!
In this demo packed session, we'll take that real database and give it some new tricks. Using Microsoft's Data API Builder (DAB), we'll expose existing views through REST, build a client with AI, and keep business logic where it belongs: in SQL Server.
Need to change a stored procedure? That's where Flyway comes in. Want to know what's actually happening? We'll use the Aspire dashboard to investigate requests, performance, and failures. And yes, we'll check the actual database too, because a successful API call doesn't always mean the right thing happened.
Finally, we'll bring MCP into the picture and let an AI client discover entities, query data, and interact with stored procedures.
One hour, plenty of demos, and 15 years of SQL history meeting modern technology. No magical AI promises, no unnecessary rewrites. Just practical tools, real SQL, and a few lessons learned along the way.
