SUMMARY:Security Compliance Platforms Q&A
DESCRIPTION:Teams using Vanta\, Drata\, Secureframe\, Sprinto\, or another compliance platform still run into questions the dashboard does not answer. \nWe’ll take those questions and show how Cycore handles the same situations for clients: what we automate\, what we document manually\, how we resolve a monitor that flags a legitimate account\, how we manage a platform switch\, and how we keep a trust center current. \nYou’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what the dashboard proves\, what evidence your auditor may still request\, and what your team needs to handle outside the platform. \nRSVP now and bring your questions for Kevin Barona and Jai Sisodia.

SUMMARY:Fireside 305: An Evening with Opendoor Tech Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Opendoor is expanding its engineering team in Miami\, and on August 26 the company is taking over The LAB Miami in Wynwood for Fireside 305: An Evening with Opendoor Tech Leadership. \nCEO Kaz Nejatian will take unscripted questions on re-founding and scaling Opendoor. Chintan Parikh (Head of Engineering) and Eyal Klein (Head of Data) follow with a technical session on the engineering and data decisions behind the product\, moderated by Renee Mauldin. The evening closes with food\, drinks\, and open networking with the Opendoor engineering team. \nThe event is hosted in partnership with The LAB Miami\, which has been a collision point for the city’s builders and a driver of Miami’s startup tech ecosystem since 2012. \nOpendoor is hiring in Miami across Software Engineering\, Data and Machine Learning\, and Security Engineering — and is upfront that the work isn’t for everyone. The company ships every week\, pushes decisions to the engineers with the most context\, treats AI as how it works rather than as a department\, and is in office five days a week. \nEngineers considering a move to Miami are encouraged to register as well. Opendoor is flying down a handful of standout engineers who want to relocate — note it in the “Anything you’d like us to know?” field when registering. \nWho should attend: senior engineers\, engineering leaders\, and technical founders in South Florida. \nRegister: opendoor.com/fireside-305

SUMMARY:ClawCon Miami presented by Kilo Code
DESCRIPTION:​ClawCon in collaboration with the #MiamiTech Happy Hour and Beats + Bytes is co-hosted with Kilo Code\, a leading open-source AI coding agent. Kilo will also showcase KiloClaw\, a fully managed platform for running OpenClaw agents with one-click deployment across 500+ models.

SUMMARY:Designing AI-Native Engineering Workflows
DESCRIPTION:AI is already embedded in most engineering teams. The real question is whether it’s being used intentionally and positively impacting how work gets done. This session will be a working conversation on how to intentionally integrate AI into core engineering workflows\, including sprint cycles\, code review\, documentation\, and cross-functional collaboration. The focus is on designing systems\, not just adopting tools. \n​Ben Sharpe will lead the discussion. Ben is an Apple and Microsoft alum\, former CTO at CoinList\, and founder of Codebake\, with over 37 years of engineering experience. He has built and scaled complex systems and led technical execution across multiple generations of products. \n​Together\, we’ll focus on: \n​Workflow architecture for AI-native teams \n​Establishing shared prompting standards across engineers \n​Preventing fragmented\, ad hoc AI usage across teams \n​Creating consistency across product\, engineering\, and operations \n​This is an intimate\, high-signal session for operators actively thinking about how engineering organizations evolve in an AI-native world.
