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.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Hey Everyone! Let's meet at Belle's Bread Bakery and Cafe. There is lots of free parking and easy access to the cafe and many shops and restaurants as well. This is a great way to meet new and old friends while chatting about life and practicing English language speaking skills. All are welcome and encouraged to join us anytime between 11am and 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. **Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink.** We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat!

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who want to discuss international travel and culture, and anyone who enjoys getting together for good conversations."
