Nvidia qui pèse plus que le PIB de l'Allemagne, des investissements qui se comptent en dizaines de milliards... On nous promet que l'Intelligence Artificielle va tout changer, tout de suite. Pourtant, en coulisses, les questions brûlantes s'accumulent : Le gain de productivité est-il enfin visible dans nos entreprises ? Sommes-nous prisonniers d'une boucle financière où les géants de la tech se financent entre eux ? Le mur énergétique et la pénurie de données vont-ils provoquer un coup d'arrêt brutal ? Pour y répondre, nous organisons une table ronde exceptionnelle : "L’IA en 2026 : Révolution Réelle ou Bulle Spéculative ?" Nous avons réuni un trio d'experts aux regards radicalement différents : La Finance : Pour disséquer les marchés et la solidité réelle des géants de la tech.  La Science Data : Pour nous dire ce que l'IA peut vraiment faire (et ses limites concrètes). La Stratégie Tech : Pour analyser les enjeux d'infrastructure, d'énergie et de souveraineté. Le casting ? Nous vous dévoilerons l'identité de nos trois intervenants dans les prochains jours. Issus de fleurons de l'investissement, de l'assurance et de la stratégie technologique, ils promettent un débat sans langue de bois. Agenda --- Hosted By Thierry Njike, Organizer Engineer in AI and decision hand, online degree in Data analysis. Very first GDSC lead in Belgium, I am interested in AI/ML, Cloud computing, Flutter, Web technologies, and competitive programming. I am always open to learn from others and I like to work in a community.

We do cycles of 4-6 weeks, with a progressive load, and a recovery week at the end of the cycle. Session: * 10 - 20’ warm up (easy run and drills) * Core session (ie. 6x5' - 2' recovery) * Cool down We run together during Warm-up, and cool down and tey to regroup during recovery time. Paces are not imposed (everyone runs at his/her own pace) given the intensity suggested. Notes: It's NOT required to have an activity tracker or smart watch to be able to follow the session, as I'll be giving signals with a whistle. Intervals training is not advised for total beginners. To have an idea, the average pace at the warm up is around 5'45"/km-6'15"/km so this pace should feel very comfortable ***Acknowledgement of member responsibility and release of liability.*** By signing up for this event, you agree to release the organizers from any responsibility and liability in all claims.

**Navigating perimenopause, menopause, or a deeper midlife shift?** This women’s circle is a gentle and meaningful space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in the company of other women moving through a similar transition. Hosted in the warm and intimate setting of **MIR Concept** in Brussels, this gathering is an invitation to step away from the noise of daily life and listen more deeply to what is changing within you. Together, we will explore this phase not only as a biological transition, but as a threshold into greater clarity, self-trust, and inner wisdom. During the evening, you will be invited to: – connect with the archetype of the Wise Woman – gently release old versions of yourself – share and reflect in a safe, supportive circle – feel less alone in this transition This is for women who want more than symptom management — women who want to meet this life phase with presence, meaning, and connection. **Registration:** [https://www.mirconceptstore.com/event-details/welcoming-the-age-of-wisdom](https://www.mirconceptstore.com/event-details/welcoming-the-age-of-wisdom) **Notes:** Limited places available.

Voor beleidsmakers, app bouwers, mensen geïnteresseerd in digital sovereignty en strategic autonomy, open source oplossingen en de laatste inzichten over cloud-edge en AI. Boek: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-80645-2 Offering an analysis of the digital transformation process in various industries and institutions, the book highlights the severe repercussions and impacts on democratic decision-making. Readers will learn how the convergence of cloud systems, data platforms, and connected objects is facilitating this transformation process, one characterized by a virtual representation of every person, object, and machine – a digital twin. The book makes the case for a (6G) phone/hardware wallet built on European chip requirements and platforms and running on its own OS to promote technical European integration on infrastructure, applications, and services. Given its scope, the book will appeal to policymakers and practitioners interested in European digital governance and autonomy, as well as scholars of public administration, public policy, and political science.

Every season carries its own quiet invitation - a moment to pause, to reconnect, and to rediscover what helps us feel well. At SERENDIP, we’ve always believed that wellbeing is not a destination, but a series of small, meaningful encounters. A spark of serendipity. A shift in perspective. A ritual that brings you back to yourself. Today, we’re delighted to introduce SERENDIP Seasons - our new quarterly celebration of that journey. **The very first edition, Spring Renewal, will take place on April 9th and 10th.** Over two days, we open our community to inspiration, science-based insights, sensory experiences, and the simple joy of gathering. Each edition reflects the rhythm of the season - from spring’s renewal to winter’s glow - and brings together online micro-sessions, studio offerings, special moments, and our signature Wellbeing Apero. It’s an invitation to discover something new, reconnect with what nourishes you, and step into the next season with intention. **Welcome to SERENDIP Seasons – Spring Renewal** Thursday, April 9th and Friday, April 10th A 2-day event that you can join from our home, office chair, or chez nous.

Meet and make new Friends after work.

We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country. Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply. ### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?** Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment. ## **Why Join?** * **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance. * **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space. * **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection. ## **The Ideal Group Leader** The ideal group leader * Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community. * Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us. * Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind. * An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection. * An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms. * Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus. ## **Our Impact**  Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported: * A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being. * An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging. * Said they would return again. We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself. ### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based** Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission! Every contribution helps us: * **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization. * **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year. By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic. ## **Come Join Us!** We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection. 🔹 **Visit Our Website to Learn More:** https://speakyourmind.men/joinusoutside 🔹 **Apply Here to Lead Your Own Group!** – https://form.jotform.com/taketimespeakyourmind/sym-group-leader-application 🔹 **Support the mission**: If you resonate with the mission and want to support, feel free to join a group before applying or donate to help us reach our goals to help more people!

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception** Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory. For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy. She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps). Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way. **About Our Speaker** Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
