Philly’s AI scene is officially alive and thriving! Philly AI Connect partnered with Google on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at Pennovation Works to host a fantastic community gathering: “Turbocharge Your SDLC with Gemini.”
This special event provided founders, engineering leaders, and technical teams with the actionable insights needed to deploy AI effectively within their product workflows.
Attendees enjoyed food, networking, and great conversations with Philly’s leading innovators. The technical focus centered on the power of Gemini, Google’s generative AI, in reshaping the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC).
Google’s Lenworth Henry and Greg Thomas led the discussion. Greg Thomas shared a deep dive, demoing how developers can build faster and smarter using Gemini's capabilities. Len followed with how teams are successfully deploying agentic workflows with Gemini and what differentiates Google’s AI stack for moving projects from prototype to production.
A huge thank you to our co-hosts, Peter Mastrogiacomo, Victor Raymond Tabaac, and Talia Tomarchio, and our generous sponsors: Unilog (Suchit Bachalli) and All In On Data (Peter Memon, David Gleason). Cheers to Victory Brewing Company and Best Day Brewing for keeping the happy hour flowing!
We’re grateful to be growing this forward-thinking community with all of you by our side. Keep an eye out for announcements about our next meetup in March 2026!
