SUMMARY:Lisbon User Group - March 11 2026
DESCRIPTION:Hi\, and welcome to the Lisbon Search & AI user group event #2. \nBelow you will find the agenda + talk summaries\n18:00 – 18:20: Arrivals\, Networking\, Food & Drinks\n18:20 – 18:25: Welcome & Housekeeping\n18:25 – 19:00: First Speaker – Afonso Mendes\, Empa-T\n19:00 – 19:30: Second Speaker – TBD\n19:30 – 20:00 Q&A\, Wrap-up.\nTalk 1: Large Language Models and their role within the current Search & AI ecosystem\nSpeaker: Afonso Mendes\nTalk Summary: This session looks beyond the buzz to question what large language models (LLMs) truly bring to the table\, and where their limits lie. We will examine how these models fit within the broader ecosystem of Search and AI tools and how they relate with more traditional systems. From uncovering where LLMs shine to exposing where they do not\, the discussion invites a clearer view of their real value in today’s landscape. \nOther talks to be submitted soon! If you’d like to join and present at this meet-up\, please get in touch with Bernardo or Carlos! \nBe sure to click here to RSVP and learn about the exciting agenda planned for that event.

SUMMARY:Washington DC User Group launch - March 12 2026
DESCRIPTION:Agenda: \n\n6-6:30 pm: Networking and food/drinks\n6:30-7:15 pm: Announcements and presentation\n7:15 pm-7:30 pm: Q&A and close-out\n\nHacking the Stack: Using OpenSearch Dashboards as an Application Framework\nMost developers treat OpenSearch Dashboards (OSD) strictly as a visualization layer—a place for charts and graphs. They are missing the bigger picture. OSD is a powerful\, untapped environment for full-stack application development. In this session\, we peel back the architecture of an enterprise-grade risk\, compliance\, and security platform built entirely on top of OSD. We moved beyond simple plugins and pushed OSD to its limits to create a seamless\, interactive application experience. \nJoin us for a deep dive into the engineering reality of the OpenSearch stack\, including: \n\nThe Analysis: Why the OpenSearch stack beat out the competition.\nThe Build\, Beyond Visualization: How to implement custom React components to build complex workflows and interactive UIs within OSD.\nThe Integrations: Integrating Wazuh for agent management and ingesting data at scale.\nThe “Gotchas”: Honest\, real-world lessons on data handling\, state management\, and what to look out for.\n\nIf you are ready to push your plugins from “reporting tools” to “robust software\,” do not miss this session! \nDetails and RSVP here
