Sketch Comedy

Събитието ще събере 550+ експерти, разработчици, създатели на дигитални преживявания и ентусиасти, обединени от интереса към киберсигурността, технологиите и човешкото поведение в онлайн среда. Поводът е и специален — **четвъртият рожден ден на КиберКЛУБ**, общност, която събира и развива активни хора в дигиталния свят. Фокусът ще бъде върху това как киберпространството се променя — от технологична платформа към среда, в която **вниманието и ангажираността на хората се превръщат в ключов фактор**. Ще разгледаме как игровите модели и геймификацията влияят върху начина, по който учим, общуваме и вземаме решения, както и как тези механизми се използват както за създаване на стойност, така и за влияние — включително от организирани киберпрестъпни групи. Паралелно с това ще обърнем внимание на реалните предизвикателства пред бизнеса, регулациите и ролята на човешкия фактор в сигурността. Ще засегнем и темата за дигиталната култура и онлайн безопасността — особено за деца и подрастващи — и как можем съзнателно да използваме дигиталната среда като инструмент за развитие, информирани решения и по-добра киберустойчивост. **Програма на събитието:** 19:00 – Откриване 19:07 - 19:20 – ***I Tried to Build an AI CISO… and Failed ***– Петър Пенев (КиберКЛУБ) 19:20 - 19:50 – ***Киберзаконът: какво (не)знаем ***– Деница Каналева (Fortinet), Никола Стойчев (DPC), Боян Янчев (LIREX BS), Младен Дрянков (ISACA Sofia Chapter) 19:50 - 20:02 – ***Why Your Browser is a Security Nightmare (And How to Actually Fix It) ***– Васил Генов (CLICO България) 20:02 - 20:15 – ***Организираната киберпрестъпност: новата индустрия*** – Борислав Ганцаров (Exclusive Networks Bulgaria) 20:15 - 20:25 – ***Милиони, направени с ирационално мислене*** – Цветан Русимов (CEO at Imperia Online) 20:25 - 20:40 – ***Критично мислене чрез видео игри*** – Мартин Кадинов и Александра Илиева (Гудгейм) 20:40 - 21:10 – ***КиберЗНАМ: Онлайн поколението без филтър ***– Димана Додова (КиберЗНАМ), Борис Гончаров (AMATAS), Васил Анастасов (DEVHUBONE), Тони-Теодора Косева (T'eachOne) 21:10 - 21:25 – ***Какво предстои в киберобщността*** – Антон Пулийски, Павел Георгиев 21:25 – **Торта и нетуъркинг** Вход свободен след регистрация - [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4th-cyberclub-community-birthday-tickets-1980995576095?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4th-cyberclub-community-birthday-tickets-1980995576095?aff=oddtdtcreator) Присъствието ще осигури 5 CPE (Continuous Professional Education) точки за всеки член на **ISACA Sofia Chapter**, **IIA Bulgaria**, **PMI Bulgaria Chapter** 4th CyberCLUB Community Birthday се организирана със съдействието на: **Telelink Business Services** , **Fortinet**, **BalkansWorks Ltd**, **Lirex COM**, **Exclusive Networks CEE**, **Palo Alto Networks**, **Devin JSC**, **ISACA Sofia Chapter**, **Dot.HELP - Human Layer Security**, **Sofia Investment Agency**, **CLICO Bulgaria**, Wines of Sakar, ВИНОnTheRoad, **Print.bg**, Topcho.bg, AnetFoto, **DiggerVideo**, **DevHubOne**, **КиберЗНАМ**, **CENTIO #CYBERSECURITY** Медийни партньори: Информационна агенция ФОКУС, **Profit.bg**, E-security, Pixelmedia.bg, Smartage.bg, Kreativen.com, Dronenews.eu, VRnews.info, **divna.Tech**, Zone4Tech, **Enterprise Magazine for small and medium businesses,** [Careerdailynews.com](https://careerdailynews.com,/), **Dir.bg** Организатори: **КиберКЛУБ и Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria (CSTB)** 🆓Събитията на КиберКЛУБ и Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria са винаги безплатни за посетителите.

* **About the event:** **Continuous Product Discovery & Targeted User Research** Building successful products requires talking to your users, but *how* and *when* you talk to them makes all the difference. Continuous discovery is your 15-minute product "health check." It does not replace proper feature-based user research, it complements it. Join us for a practical meetup where we will break down exactly when to use continuous discovery versus targeted user research, and how the two approaches work together to drive product strategy. We will share actionable frameworks for catching high-level UX feedback, validating direction, and knowing exactly when to transition into deep, area-specific research. **What We’ll Cover:** * **The Core Framework:** Understand the difference between a 15-minute continuous discovery session (a high-level health check) and targeted, feature-based research. Learn when to use which approach and how to prevent your discovery calls from turning into support tickets or therapy sessions. * **Smart Recruitment & Triage:** Stop relying on the loudest customers. Learn how to use Amplitude data, Account Managers, and Community channels to reach your *core* users. We will show you how to use discovery sessions to build a repository of "awesome users" triaged for later, deep-dive research. * **Interviewing Best Practices:** We will share real-life anecdotes on how to ask situational questions rather than leading questions like "would you use this feature?" * **Scaling with Automation & AI:** Learn how to automate your feedback sessions and leverage AI to synthesize notes, spot 80/20 pain points, and write up interview patterns. **Who Should Attend:** Product Managers, UX Researchers, Product Marketers, and Designers who want to optimize their user feedback loops. * **About the speakers:** Krassi is a Senior Product Manager at LucidLink, where she focuses on identity, access, and permissions. Before LucidLink, she spent nearly 8 years at Sitecore, leading product initiatives across identity, developer platforms, and Marketplace, with a strong focus on developer and user experience. She’s particularly passionate about user experience through continuous product discovery - running customer interviews, uncovering real needs, and turning insights into products that solve meaningful problems. Igor is a Senior Staff Product Designer at LucidLink, focused on solving the right problems. Over 20 years of design experience have shaped his belief that listening to customers, separating signal from noise, identifying the pain points that matter most, and addressing them in a timely manner is what helps any company grow and stay ahead. * **About LucidLink:** LucidLink is the storage collaboration platform that frees creative teams to work together from anywhere. With a single shared filespace protected by zero-knowledge encryption, your team can instantly and securely access, edit and share projects of any size. Combining the ease of a local drive with the power of the cloud, LucidLink gives you on-demand access to your files. Now you can get straight to work without downloading, syncing or versioning disasters. Just like its customers, LucidLink's teams work together from anywhere. Privately held and headquartered in San Francisco, California, with an office in Sofia, Bulgaria, LucidLink's hybrid and remote employees work across Europe, North America, and Australia.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

**Comedy Night + Open Mic + Freestyle**: Tristan Shae and friends return to entertain us and to warm the group up for our open mic session. February's Open Mic / Comedy Night was a smash hit and it's worth a second night. We'll start with Tristan Shae and a couple of his friends. Tristan is an alternative comic from Columbus, Ohio. A counselor by day, Tristan explores how comedy can improve mental health by telling jokes and stories that muse on how absurd life can be from squeaky clean topics to not so clean ones. Tristan produces the variety show Cheaper Than Therapy, hosts the weekly Problem Child Alt Comedy Open Mic at The Attic, and can be found engaging in all sorts of silliness around the city from stand up shows at The Nest Theater, The Attic, or The Funny Bone, to improv and sketch shows with various groups at various venues such as The Hashtag Comedy Club. **On Freestyle night** \- just bring a bottle to share\. There is NO formal wine tasting like on other weeks\. Door charge is $10 \(cash or Venmo only please\)\. We may have some left over wines to clear out\! Glasses are provided\. Take Care\. See you there\. **Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby. I am told that the Chase parking lot is safe after hours. **Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the EMPTY glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please do not make me hunt down your empty glass. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass! **Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing. **Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions. **After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee. Please join us. Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends. Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***, **Red 1 Realty** *Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great new films! Option 1 (and the one I'll be seeing) is the top-reviewed comedy-drama, THE CHRISTOPHERS! The film is set in the art world and follows the estranged children of a former artist who hire a forger. It is directed by Steven Soderberg, stars Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel and has been earning rave reviews on the indie circuit. Option 2 is the latest action-thriller starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL! The film follows a temporary small-town sheriff who uncovers dark mysteries after a local bank robbery. Here are descriptions, trailers and our plan for this event: THE CHRISTOPHERS: The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases so they'll have a better inheritance when he dies. It is directed by Steven Soderbergh and stars Ian McKellen, Michaela Coel, Jessica Gunning and James Corden. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film is earning an excellent 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where critics call it a “dynamic, emotional and surprising journey” and a “compelling chamber piece that works like intellectual comfort food.” Others call the film, an “incredibly funny, comedy drama with plot reversals that make it feel like it’s on the verge of a thriller!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H79-EqzmdwY&t=20s NORMAL: This action-crime-thriller follows a man who comes to the sleepy town of Normal, Minnesota to serve as the temporary sheriff. But a bank robbery leads him to a criminal underground reaches throughout the entire town. The film is directed by Ben Wheatley and stars Bob Odenkirk, Henry Winkler and Lena Headey. The film comes from the same team that brought us Nobody and the John Wick series, so expect an over-the-top, action-filled thrill ride!
