š **[Register here](https://platformengineering.org/events/platform-engineering-in-2025-what-changed-ai-and-the-future-of-platforms-2025-12-09?utm_source=meetup)**
2025 was a landmark year for the platform engineering industry. With the release of the State of Platform Engineering, the State of AI in Platform Engineering, and the 2025 DORA report, the data is in on what the world of platform engineering looks like as we close out the year and enter the next. This webinar will explore the key trends from 2025, and what we can expect in 2026.
We will break down:
\- What the data tells us about the future of platform engineering
\- How the intersection of AI and platform engineering defined 2025
\- Current best practices and frameworks for doing āgreatā platform engineering
After a 30-minute talk thereāll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.

Please **[register here](https://platformengineering.org/events/generating-high-quality-synthetic-test-data-with-agentic-ai-2025-12-04?utm_source=meetup)**
Platform engineering teams often face a persistent challenge: fast, reliable access to high-quality test data. Production data is restricted, masking is slow, and manual dataset creation becomes a bottleneck across development, testing, and AI workflows. Agentic AI now makes it possible to automate this entire process and deliver synthetic data on demand in the exact formats your teams need.
Join synthetic data expert Mark Brocato as he demonstrates how Tonic Fabricate removes data friction by generating realistic, structured synthetic test data automatically. See how platform teams can use this capability to support developers and AI practitioners with quick, compliant, and self-service access to data, exported directly into supported databases or delivered as JSON, PDFs, DOCX, EML, and more.What you’ll learn during the webinar:
* How to select the right approach to synthetic data: Compare rule-based synthesis, de-identification, and Agentic AI to determine which method best supports your platform and your teams.
* How to generate highly realistic, nuanced data: Learn how Agentic AI creates complex test data for development and testing, significantly reducing the need for deep domain expertise.
* Best practices and practical platform use cases: See how automated synthetic data fits into platform engineering responsibilities, including CI/CD pipelines, API mocking, developer self-service, test automation, and AI model development.

**Speaker:**
**Mark Brocato – Head of Engineering for Fabricate @ Tonic.ai**
Mark Brocato is a software developer and entrepreneur best known as the founder of Mockaroo, one of the worldās leading synthetic data generators, launched in 2014. The idea for Mockaroo came while Mark was watching QA engineers struggle to test complex life science workflows at a startup called BioFortis, inspiring him to make realistic test data easier for everyone. With over two decades in software development, heās built tools for developers at Sencha, Layer0, and beyond. In 2024, Mark launched Fabricate, the AI-powered synthetic data platform that was acquired by Tonic.ai in 2025, where Mark continues to lead its development. A Ruby, JavaScript, and Rust developer, he divides his time between Sparta, New Jersey, and Tallinn, Estonia.

Miami Cyber Security for Control Systems
Join us on Wednesday, December 10 for a **(CS)Ā²AI Onlineā¢ Symposium** delving into the latest technologies being used for and against ICS/OT environments, their impacts and implications.
Key questions that will be answered about Digital Twins, Quantum Computing, and AI/ML:
* What are these technologies?
* How mature are they?
* Where are current developments in them leading?
* How are they helping ICS/OT defenders protect against bad actors?
* Are bad actors also using them to attack ICS/OT systems? If so, how, and what can we do about that?
