How leaders separate facts fr om assumptions and make sound decisions under pressure.
As a leader you make hundreds of decisions a day. Some are routine\, but othe rs carry significant weight. The challenge isn'\;t simply having a lot t o decide. It'\;s that every decision is filtered through your own though ts\, assumptions\, and interpretations\, often without you realizing it. 60\;
Navigating the volume of work as well as the high pressure that comes with it\, it'\;s easy to react to the story your mind has created rather than the facts in front of you.
That'\;s \;why The De tour has invited Vicki Smith\, founder of Self Led CEO\, to \;facilitat e \;an honest conversation about what it takes to stretch beyond your c omfort zone and keep moving anyway. Vicki is a licensed counselor and coach based in Atlanta who works with entrepreneurs and high achievers\, \;h elping them build the inner stability and resilience needed to lead sustain able\, fulfilling work. She draws on mindfulness\, somatic practice\, \ ;and her own experience as a founder to help leaders stop managing their di scomfort and start moving through it. \;
In this session\, you&# 39\;ll learn a practical way to separate fact from story\, recognize how un examined assumptions shape your decisions\, and recalibrate your next move with greater clarity. You'\;ll leave with a simple decision-making tool that helps you cut through mental noise so you can make more accurate decis ions\, even under pressure.
Here is what we promise: \; \;
- Clarity: \;You will leave The Detour with at least one clear a ction step you can take the next time uncertainty shows up \; \;
- \;Community: \;You will meet and have meaningful conversations with innovative leaders like you to learn from and lean on each other \ ; \;
The Detour will kick off 10/23\, from 9-10:30am (coffee and snacks included) at The Hatchery. \;
\;If you are read y to lead with sharper judgment\, RSVP using thi s link.\n\n---\nSource: emory-hatchery — https://forms.microsoft.com/Pa ges/ResponsePage.aspx?id=nPsE4KSwT0K80DImBtXfOMocZC9Gi2RBj9zJWrbCeidUQTJGWU dMNkk2TDVRNzZJSjAwVFVYWFVDUi4u\nHosted by: The Hatchery\, Emory Center for Innovation LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T134952Z LOCATION:The Hatchery

Anjie shares how she actu ally uses GitHub Copilot day to day\, what she calls "vibe coding": editing scripts\, debugging\, brainstorming\, and speeding up the small tasks that quietly eat your time. She'll walk through real examples of exploring solu tions and experimenting with ideas\, plus how to go down the AI rabbit hole s responsibly by asking better questions\, iterating on prompts\, and chall enging the output instead of trusting it blindly. Expect an honest look at what's working with Copilot\, what isn't\, and how to get more value from A I without becoming dependent on it.

This talk argues that\, as commonly implemented\, that human is oversight in appearance only\, and shows why the problem is neither purely technical nor purely human.\n\nWe open with three real-world failures spanning three countries\, three decades\, and three technologies — from a SQL script to an LLM: Australia's Robodebt (500\,000+ wrongful debts)\, the Dutch childca re-benefits scandal (\\~26\,000 families wrongly accused)\, and Moffatt v. Air Canada (2024)\, the first ruling holding a company liable for its chatb ot's hallucination. In every case a human was meant to catch the machine's error. In none did it work.\n\nThe trap is a double bind. Remove the human and accountability evaporates - the responsibility gap\, the accountability sink\, the moral crumple zone: the harm is real\, but no one is answerable . Add the human (HITL\, AI Act Art. 14) and cognitive science says it still won't hold: half a century of evidence on automation bias\, vigilance decr ement\, and Bainbridge's ironies of automation - plus fresh 2025 findings o n GenAI-driven operator deskilling - shows the human becomes an interface f or blame\, not a source of control. The result is accountability theater.\n \nUltimately\, this talk reframes human oversight from a compliance checkbo x into a security property — something you design\, measure\, and can get w rong. The question every organization deploying GenAI will eventually have to answer is not "is there a human in the loop?" but "who is accountable wh en the machine is wrong\, and did we design for that on purpose?”\n\n---\nS ource: meetup — https://www.meetup.com/owasp-atlanta/events/316689246/\nHos ted by: OWASP Atlanta LAST-MODIFIED:20260924T142042Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:The Illusion of Oversight - GenAI Decision Security and Moral Crump le Zone TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20270202T170000Z DTEND:20270202T183000Z DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:s6risucrc1fo1ar6e32n39m18o@google.com CREATED:20260603T050356Z DESCRIPTION:Casual Tuesday networking meals in Sylvan for startup founders and entrepreneurs to connect over food and build relationships.\n\nAudience : early-founder\, growth-stage\nFormat: networking\n\nOur Tuesdays are full of serendipitous interactions in Sylvan\, and we’re inviting you to join!

For technical and business stakeholders.\n\n Audience: technical\, non-technical\, corporate\nFormat: workshop\n\nMost e nterprises chasing AI ROI look first at bigger models and more compute"”but the biggest gains often come from a more economical\, less glamorous lever : better context. Pilots stall and production systems underperform not beca use the models aren't capable\, but because they aren't given the right inf ormation at the right time\, forcing costly rework\, manual review\, and lo st trust. This webinar reframes context engineering as a business decision rather than a purely technical one. We'll unpack where context investment d elivers outsized returns compared to model upgrades\, how to identify where context gaps are silently draining value from existing AI initiatives\, an d how leading teams are prioritizing context work to accelerate time-to-val ue. **Key Takeaways:** 1⃣ **The Real ROI Driver:** Why context"”not raw m odel power"”is often the fastest path to measurable AI returns. 2⃣ **Diag nosing Hidden Costs:** How to spot context gaps that quietly inflate rework \, review\, and support costs. 3⃣ **Prioritization Frameworks:** How to d ecide where to invest in context versus other AI improvements. 4⃣ **Scali ng Value:** Strategies for sustaining ROI gains as AI initiatives expand ac ross the business. **[Register here](https://datasciconnect.com/events/webi nars/context-over-compute/)**\n\n---\nSource: atltech — https://www.meetup. com/artificial-intelligence-atl/events/315068778/\nHosted by: ATL Tech Even ts\nAlso listed on: meetup LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T135019Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Context Over Compute: The Overlooked Lever for AI ROI TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261020T170000Z DTEND:20261020T180000Z DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:pjhp4ipk3otfdtdjlhdvnrkuas@google.com CREATED:20260922T141527Z DESCRIPTION:Learn 7 personal branding strategies to build resilience and vi sibility as an entrepreneur\n\nAudience: early-founder\, first-time-founder \nFormat: workshop\n\nJoin our ATV Workshop: Personal Branding Entrepreneur s: 7 Strategies To Build Your Personal Brand With Resilience.\n\n---\nSourc e: atv — https://atlantatechvillage.com/events/atv-workshop-personal-brandi ng-entrepreneurs-20261020\nHosted by: Atlanta Tech Village LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T141527Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:ATV Workshop: Personal Branding Entrepreneurs TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261008T233000Z DTEND:20261009T023000Z DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:ai3ukkg3he2qoeeofbkh265f98@google.com CREATED:20260921T134905Z DESCRIPTION:Python developers gather for in-person networking\, dinner\, an d formal technical talks at a community meetup.\n\nAudience: technical\nFor mat: networking\n\nThe meeting starts at 7:30PM in the North Avenue room.

The power of writing a complex application or feature wit h just a few commands is too alluring to pass up.\nBut between the impreci se nature of language and LLMs' ability to "hallucinate"\, this creates man y opportunities for bugs and unintended behavior to be introduced. Just tel ling an AI coding agent to "write tests" isn't enough to build confidence i n an application's correctness\, either.\nIn this presentation\, we will r eview three distinct phases of testing AI-written code. The known knowns: u sing spec-driven development to define the business-meaningful behavior of your application. Known unknowns: using property-based testing to handle ed ge cases and avoid overfitting and unintended biases. And finally\, unknown unknowns: using static analysis and mutation testing to avoid introducing bugs you didn't think about.\n\nAI-assisted coding is a rapidly evolving f ield\, but this presentation should provide you with a framework and approa ch to build confidence when using AI to assist with writing applications.\n \n**WE USE LUMA FOR EVENT SIGNUP: [REGISTER HERE](https://luma.com/ajug-uuo g)**[ ](https://luma.com/ajug-uuog)\n\n# **DEVNEXUS April 5-7\, 2027**\n\n Devnexus is the largest and longest-running community-driven developer con ference in the USA. 2027 has its strongest focus ever on helping our commun ity prepare for\, navigate\, and thrive in our AI-driven dev world.\n\n* F ull-day training\n* 10 concurrent tracks\n* 1500+ developers\n* Learn mo re at [devnexus.com](https://devnexus.com/?utm_source=luma)\n\n---\nSource: meetup — https://www.meetup.com/atlantajug/events/316430418/\nHosted by: A tlanta Java Users Group LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T135044Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Knowns and Unknowns: Testing AI-Generated Code TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261013T163000Z DTEND:20261013T173000Z DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:pbr59hvc40klmp66gaj1sbidu8@google.com CREATED:20260921T134922Z DESCRIPTION:Lunch & Learn session providing education and networking for re al estate professionals.\n\nAudience: small-business\nFormat: workshop\n\n\ n\n---\nSource: luma-atlanta — https://lu.ma/8c48vfch\nHosted by: Right Key Mortgage LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T141518Z LOCATION:Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse\, 4671 Ashford Dunwoody Rd\, Dun woody\, GA 30346\, USA SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - RK for Realtor TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261015 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261016 DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:ktjf5uv7ip21eloph5okib985g@google.com CREATED:20260921T134930Z DESCRIPTION:MBA fair in Atlanta showcasing Georgia Tech's Scheller MBA prog rams to prospective students\n\nAudience: student\, executive\nFormat: conf erence\n\nWe look forward to meeting you and discussing Georgia Tech's Sche ller College of Business MBA Programs.\n\n---\nSource: gt-scheller — https: //www.scheller.gatech.edu/events/2026/qs-mba-fair-atlanta1.html\nHosted by: Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T134930Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:QS MBA Fair - Atlanta TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261026T123000Z DTEND:20261026T210000Z DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:tvp1gnkmlnacl10464beime774@google.com CREATED:20260921T134956Z DESCRIPTION:Annual golf tournament for IT executives and corporate sponsors networking around Techbridge's mission to use technology to fight poverty. \n\nAudience: corporate\, technical\nFormat: networking\n\nTee IT Up is an annual golf tournament hosted by the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Inf ormation Management and the GeorgiaCIO Leadership Association in support of Techbridge’s mission to use technology and innovation to fight poverty.

Data governance ensures information is accurate\, secure\, and complian t\, while AI governance extends these principles to algorithms\, focusing o n transparency\, fairness\, and ethics. Together\, they create the foundati on for trust and innovation.This session will show executives how to align both disciplines into a unified governance strategy that enables responsibl e innovation without slowing agility. Key takeaways include:Building a trus ted data foundation to fuel AIGoverning AI models for fairness\, accountabi lity\, and resilienceAnticipating emerging global regulationsLinking govern ance directly to customer trust and business valueIn a world where AI ampli fies the impact of data\, governance is not just a compliance.

What if you could find o ut whether your idea actually resonates with your audience\, but BEFORE you build it? Every founder has a theory about what their customers want. The question is how quickly and cheaply you can test whether that theory holds. Vibe coding (using AI tools to spin up a working prototype or lightweight experience in hours instead of weeks) is changing what'\;s possible. But the value isn'\;t the technology. The value is getting real signal from real people\, fast. \;
This rapid change is why \;The Detour has asked Dr. David \;Schweidel\, Goizueta Chair of Business Tec hnology and Professor of Marketing at Emory University'\;s Goizueta Busi ness School\, \;to guide us through building something we can \;act ually put \;in front of an audience. David is a leading expert in custo mer analytics\, social media\, and the intersection of marketing and techno logy. His research on customer behavior and digital engagement has appeared in the top journals in the field\, including the Journal of Marketing and Marketing Science\, and Harvard Business Review. He has spent years studyin g how people respond to brands\, media\, and messages-and how leaders can u se data to make smarter bets. \;
- \;Clarity: \;You will leave The Detour having built or outli ned something testable\, and with a plan for how to use what you learn 0\;
- \;Community: \;You will meet and have meaningful conversa tions with innovative leaders like you to learn from and lean on each other \; \;
The Detour \;will kick \;off 11/13\, from 11: 30am-1:00pm (snacks \;included) at The Hatchery. \; \;
I f you are ready to test an idea instead of just talking about it\, \;RSVP using this link.\n\n---\nSource: emory-ha tchery — https://forms.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=nPsE4KSwT0K 80DImBtXfOMocZC9Gi2RBj9zJWrbCeidUMUtONVIySDM2SDVIQVA5Slo0Mlo4SDZFWi4u\nHost ed by: The Hatchery\, Emory Center for Innovation LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T134953Z LOCATION:The Hatchery

Agentic AI demands something more dynamic: data that agents can query\, reason over\, and act on continuously\, without waiting for a h uman to interpret it first. That shift changes what "good" data actually lo oks like. This webinar explores how data foundations must evolve to support agentic AI"”moving from static\, periodically-updated records toward conne cted\, real-time\, machine-consumable data. We'll cover what it takes to ma ke data not just accurate\, but usable by autonomous systems making decisio ns at machine speed. **Key Takeaways:** 1⃣ **Rethinking "Good" Data:** Ho w agentic AI changes the requirements for data quality and structure. 2⃣ **Real-Time Unification:** Why static\, periodic data processes fall short for continuously acting agents. 3⃣ **Machine-Readable Trust:** Designing authoritative records that agents can reliably reason over. 4⃣ **Data Ste wardship for Autonomy:** How data ownership roles must adapt as agents beco me primary data consumers. **[Register here](https://datasciconnect.com/eve nts/webinars/single-source-of-truth/)**\n\n---\nSource: atltech — https://w ww.meetup.com/artificial-intelligence-atl/events/315068658/\nHosted by: ATL Tech Events\nAlso listed on: meetup LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T134933Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:The Single Source of Truth: Building Data Foundations for Agentic A I TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261027T170000Z DTEND:20261027T180000Z DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:0o4ekkmckk5ep4grahionpp3dc@google.com CREATED:20260921T134958Z DESCRIPTION:Learn to craft compelling founder stories that resonate with in vestors and help establish your narrative advantage\n\nAudience: early-foun der\, first-time-founder\nFormat: workshop\n\nJoin us for this ATV Workshop \, The Founder Story Advantage\n\n---\nSource: atv — https://atlantatechvil lage.com/events/atv-workshop-the-founder-story-advantage-20261027\nHosted b y: Atlanta Tech Village LAST-MODIFIED:20260921T134958Z SEQUENCE:0 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:ATV Workshop: The Founder Story Advantage TRANSP:OPAQUE END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20261009 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261013 DTSTAMP:20260928T113345Z UID:amrdiac9eqr1f4otdq3jrtls9k@google.com CREATED:20260921T134909Z DESCRIPTION:Hackathon uniting 1\,500+ student tech builders across Atlanta universities\n\nAudience: student\, technical\nFormat: other\n\nIn under 1y ear\, progsuhas grown into a 1\,500+ student network and is rapidly expandi ng beyond GSU to the broader Atlanta tech ecosystem.\n\nprogsu\, the Progra mming Club @ GSU has over 1600 student tech builders across GSU\, GT\, KSU\ , UGA\, and other universities.
