Just an open, dynamic social setup. 🎧 A DJ will be playing Latin music all night — fresh space, fresh crowd, fresh energy 🌶️🔥 We’ll also be collaborating with another group to ensure a diverse, vibrant mix of people and new connections 🌍🧩 🍹 Happy Hour: 8:30 – 10:00 PM All drinks included. Any drink. Any cocktail — 5€ 💶 Everything is included during happy hour. 🕣 Event time: 8:30 PM – 12:30 AM 🎟 Entry: Free — but strictly limited ⚠️ Important – How to get free entry: To secure your spot, you must DM me in advance and write “Latinos”. Only people who DM “Latinos” will be added to the list. Capacity is limited to 15 people only. 📍 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ryquYc9KEmwhYhdw9� I’ll be there personally to welcome everyone 🙌 Arrive early, grab a drink, move around, dance a little, connect, and experience something new in a fresh part of the city. Discover. Connect. Enjoy.

👋 Hello guys and gals, 👋 🎉🎉🎉 Get ready for the after Summer event. 🎉🎉🎉 Doors open at 18:00 18:15 - 18:30 - Gathering and welcome from the organizers. 18:30 - 19:00 - Faris Aziz - The Hidden Battleground, Engineering High-Conversion Payment Experiences 19:00 - 19:30 - Nestor Lopez Federation of Specialists: From Module Federation to AI Orchestration 19:30 - 20:00 - George Karalis - Exploring MCP Apps: Practical Use Cases for the Enterprise [Get your CityJS Athens Blind tickets now before the end of Month as our prices will go Save 50% off.](https://athens.cityjsconf.org) **Faris Aziz - The Hidden Battleground, Engineering High-Conversion Payment Experiences** For most products, the checkout is the most critical and fragile part of the funnel. It’s where traffic turns into revenue, where small UX regressions compound into large financial losses, and where system failures become immediately visible on the balance sheet. This talk explores how to build resilient, high-converting payment experiences as systems, not screens. Drawing on hundreds of A/B experiments run on tens of millions of users and lessons from operating a global subscription platform generating tens of millions in annual recurring revenue, we’ll look at how payment orchestration evolves as products scale across regions, currencies, and providers. We’ll cover how to design checkout UX that converts consistently even for low-frequency products, how to orchestrate multiple gateways without leaking complexity to the user, and how to test and monitor flows where failure tolerance is extremely low. Along the way, I’ll even show a shocking example where adding just two form inputs, implemented correctly, could cost over a million dollars in lost revenue. This is a practical talk from the trenches about why checkout is a hidden battleground, and how resilient payment engineering protects both conversion and growth. **Nestor Lopez //** **Federation of Specialists: From Module Federation to AI Orchestration** The industry has already learned how to break frontend monoliths apart without breaking the product experience. A similar shift is now happening in AI. This talk traces the move from federated UI and composable runtime systems to a federation of AI specialists—and shows why production AI works better when agents have clear roles, controlled tools, workflow hooks, shared collaboration context, and policy boundaries. **George Karalis - Exploring MCP Apps: Practical Use Cases for the Enterprise** What happens when you give an LLM structured access to your company's actual systems, its APIs, data, internal tools? MCP Apps are a new extension to the Model Context Protocol that lets servers return interactive HTML interfaces, dashboards, forms, data explorers, rendered directly inside the conversation. Instead of bouncing users between chat and separate web apps, the UI lives right where the discussion happens, with bidirectional data flow and sandboxed security. We'll look at how tool handlers expose API endpoints to LLMs, how OAuth fits into the picture, and how the data and context flow into a React app rendered inside the conversation. Whether you're considering MCP for your own product or just curious about what generative UI looks like, this talk will give you a practical intro on building AI-native enterprise tools with React.

It's not a therapy session. It just feels like one...🤷🏻‍♂️ ​Για όσα δεν λέγονται στα τραπέζια... ​ 🎭Ένα διαφορετικό (private) event στο roof top του (Boutique Hotel) Moon & Stars, σε έναν ιδιαίτερο χώρο και με θέα την Ακρόπολη!

Σκέψεις, εξομολογήσεις, ερωτήματα και εσωτερικές ανησυχίες... ​Εκφράζουμε (ανώνυμα) αυτά που μας καίνε, μας φτιάχνουν, μας χαλάνε ή δεν έχουμε πει ποτέ δυνατά ενώ θα θέλαμε. Μιλάμε για ύπαρξη, κοινωνία, φιλοσοφία, σχέσεις, επιλογές, διλήμματα ή και όχι μόνο. (Δε μιλάμε για αθλητικά και πολιτική) ​ 🎲 Τι είναι και πώς λειτουργεί.. ​Μόλις δηλώσεις συμμετοχή, αυτόματα θα λάβεις μέσω email ένα link όπου με όλες τις σχετικές οδηγίες, θα περιέχει μεταξύ άλλων, την φόρμα για να γράψεις και να στείλεις το δικό σου twist ανώνυμα. twist = ένα θέμα προς συζήτηση, ή μία ερώτηση ή μία εξομολόγηση ή μία ιστορία που σε άγγιξε.

Αλλά μπορείς να πας "πάσο" μέχρι δύο φορές... ​Αν θες ακόμη περισσότερες και πιο αναλυτικές διευκρινίσεις σχετικά με την διαδικασία ρώτησέ με ή στείλε μου μήνυμα... ​ 🎯 Στόχος; να περιφρονήσουμε τα συμβατικά small talks και να συνδεθούμε μέσα από απαντήσεις που δεν λέγονται η δίνονται τόσο εύκολα. Να γελάσουμε, να νιώσουμε, να σκεφτούμε, να εκφραστούμε χωρίς λογοκρισία, ή ίσως και να ανακαλύψουμε μεριές του εαυτού μας, που για κάποιο λόγο ήταν κρυμμένες ή και που αποφεύγαμε να δούμε... 🎟️ Σε αυτό το event υπάρχει συμμετοχή 9€ έως 12€ για τον συγκεκριμένο χώρο, που περιλαμβάνει κρασί, ή μπύρα στα 9€, ή ποτό στα 12€.

**Tired of endless swiping and superficial speed dating?** You’re not the only one. Most people who join us say the same thing: Dating started to feel rushed, performative, or strangely disconnected. So we built something different. Conscious Connections Club hosts Relational Labs — guided social experiences designed to spark real conversation, emotional depth, and authentic connection. Events now run in **40+ cities across six continents**, bringing together singles who value curiosity, presence, and meaningful interaction. Before joining an event, everyone attends a short alignment call so you can understand the space and decide if it feels like your kind of people. **[Get the Zoom Link →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)** *** **What Happens On The Call** This is a 35-minute alignment call with the founder. On the call you’ll learn: • why this community was created • how Relational Labs are different from speed dating or typical singles events • how we curate intentional spaces across 40+ cities • what actually happens at the events • why many people return again and again Some calls have two people, others twenty or more. You’re welcome to simply listen and get a feel for the space. Many people attend their first event alone — and most leave having met someone they genuinely want to see again. Sometimes it becomes friendship. Sometimes romance. Often it's simply the relief of realizing you're not the only one craving deeper connection. *** **[See If This Is Your Scene →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)** *** **Why We Require This Call** The introduction helps us keep events intentional, respectful, and aligned. It also gives you the chance to decide if the experience feels right for you before joining a live event. No pressure. Just clarity. *** **[Get the Zoom Link →](https://www.consciousconnectionsclub.com/join)**
