Metal vs SpriteKit, or more AI talk
2026-05-26 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Grouchy John’s Coffee, 8520 South Maryland Parkway, Las Vegas, NV, 89123, US
I will have a presentation and sample code ready that shows how to use Metal and SpriteKit in SwiftUI based apps. But if the crowd prefers to talk more about using AI to build apps we will do that instead and save the presentation for another time.
Let’s meet Grouchy John’s Coffee shop at “8520 S Maryland Pkwy” to have a show-n-tell of sorts to discuss what we are all using (or not using) in the realm of AI to help us with our app development.
Got something you want to show off?
Got some questions you want help answering?
Then join us!
I might even buy you a beverage if you arrive early.

The GPS Summit (Growth & Profit Strategy Summit), hosted by BREATHE! Exp, is a three-day professional development program designed to bridge the gap between AI theory and practical business application. It is billed as the world’s first certification program for AI Systems Generalists.

Core Objective

The summit focuses on training “high-potential” employees (HiPos) to become internal AI leaders who can redesign workflows and implement automated systems across various departments, including operations, finance, marketing, and HR. Unlike technical programs that focus on coding, this summit emphasizes applied intelligence and cross-functional leadership.

Program Highlights

AI Systems Generalist Certification: Participants undergo intensive training to earn a global certification, proving their ability to guide enterprise-wide AI adoption.

90-Day Transformation Roadmap: The summit concludes with attendees creating a structured blueprint to deliver measurable organizational impact within three months of returning to their companies.

Target Audience: The event is specifically designed for mid-market companies looking to develop internal talent rather than relying on external consultants.

Key Themes: The curriculum centers on “The Four Powers” and focuses on systems thinking, connecting strategy to execution, and building prototypes.

Upcoming Event Details

Date: May 2026.

Location: Las Vegas, NV.

Registration: Limited capacity to ensure a high-quality, immersive learning environment.

Tourism in Transition: The Future of Las Vegas
Las Vegas is no longer just the world’s playground—it’s the world’s laboratory for the future of tourism. From the groundbreaking of major league stadiums to the rise of AI-driven guest experiences, the “Vegas Brand” is undergoing its most significant transformation in a generation.
Join AMA Las Vegas for our final luncheon of the 2025-2026 season as we explore Vegas 2.0. We’re bringing together a diverse panel of visionaries to discuss how the city is balancing its iconic legacy with a future defined by the “Vibe Economy,” global sports migration, and hyper-personalized hospitality.
This is our “Championship Season” finale! We’ll be celebrating our year-end wins, highlighting our “Bridging the Gap” successes with UNLV, and providing an exclusive first look at the 2026-2027 “High Life” board and vision.
This session is designed to provide actionable insights for marketers across all sectors (Hospitality, Tech, Agency, and Small Business). Our panel will tackle:

The Experience Pivot: How brands are shifting marketing spend from traditional media to “Immersive Activations” that drive global social currency.
The Sports Migration: With the A’s, Raiders, and F1 now permanent fixtures, how is the “Sports Capital” title changing the way we market to both the local resident and the international tourist?
Hospitality Tech & AI: From “AI Concierges” to data-driven loyalty, how the Strip is using technology to make the “High Life” accessible and personalized for every guest.
Cultural Intelligence: Marketing to a more diverse, global traveler—how Las Vegas is evolving its messaging to be more inclusive and representative of the “New Majority.”

Build Better WordPress Sites with Full Site Editing: Twenty Twenty-Five + Ollie
2026-06-16 17:00 - 19:00 | Corporate Coworking, 5725 S Valley View Blvd Suite 6, Las Vegas, NV 89118, United States, Las Vegas, NV, 89118, US
Join us for the next Vegas WordPress Meetup on June 16th 6pm at Corporate Coworking (entrance from the back door) for a fun, relaxed session open to all skill levels—whether you’re just getting started or have been building sites for years.
This time, John Hawkins will present:
Build Better WordPress Sites with Full Site Editing: Twenty Twenty-Five + Ollie
WordPress has changed a lot over the last few years, and Full Site Editing is one of the biggest shifts in how we build, customize, and manage WordPress websites.
In this meetup, we’ll take a practical, hands-on look at Full Site Editing using two modern block themes: Twenty Twenty-Five, the official WordPress default theme, and Ollie, a popular block theme built around patterns, global styles, and faster site building.
We’ll explore how the Site Editor works, how templates and template parts fit together, how global styles can control typography and colors across a site, and how block patterns can speed up the design process without relying on heavy page builder plugins.
This session is for WordPress users, designers, developers, freelancers, agency owners, content editors, and anyone curious about the future of WordPress site building. Whether you are still using classic themes, experimenting with block themes, or wondering if Full Site Editing is ready for real client work, this meetup will give you a clearer understanding of what is possible today.
We’ll cover:

What Full Site Editing is and why it matters
How block themes differ from classic WordPress themes
Using the Twenty Twenty-Five theme to understand the WordPress-native FSE experience
Using Ollie to see how modern block themes can improve workflow
Templates, template parts, global styles, and patterns
Practical pros and cons of building with FSE
When Full Site Editing makes sense — and when it may not
Open discussion, questions, and shared experiences from the group

The goal is not just to watch a demo, but to have a real conversation about how WordPress is evolving and how we can use these tools in practical, professional, and sustainable ways.
Bring your questions, your opinions, your curiosity, and your WordPress war stories.

PyTorch for Beginners, by a Beginner
2026-06-20 12:15 - 13:45 | Third Street, 814 S 3rd St, Las Vegas, 89101, Las Vegas, NV, 89101, US
We’ll have a presentation on PyTorch with more details to come.
PyTorch is a powerful, open-source machine learning library primarily developed by Meta AI that has become the industry standard for building and training deep learning models. It functions like a flexible mathematical sandbox, utilizing GPU-accelerated multidimensional arrays called “tensors” and a dynamic computation graph that allows developers to run and debug neural networks line-by-line in real time. Because of its native integration with Python and its built-in automatic differentiation engine, PyTorch is highly favored by both researchers and engineers, serving as the foundational infrastructure behind world-changing AI technologies.
