we are in the hotel there is the big table ,
If you want speak with a few people you can change your chair or your place.
For those who already speak a bit of French -
ANYONE that can take part in the Meet up without having to ask "What does this mean?" all the time, is MORE than welcome!
(And yes, pretending to understand it all and "Nodd and smile IS allowed :) )
Because reading and listening are very good teachers too...
In fact anything that doesn't slow down practicing the language goes :)

L’IA en 2026 : Révolution Réelle ou Bulle Spéculative ?
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.

Pourquoi ta peau est plus terne après l’hiver
Après l’hiver, la peau paraît souvent plus terne, plus fatiguée et en manque d’éclat. Lors de cet atelier, nous verrons simplement pourquoi cela se produit et comment relancer naturellement la peau.
Nous commencerons par une explication claire des besoins de la peau après la saison froide, puis nous passerons à une pratique guidée :
• Démaquillage et nettoyage en douceur
• Masque éclat (vitamine C / acides de fruits)
• Application de sérum et de crème
L’objectif est de vous faire ressentir les effets sur votre peau, tout en comprenant l’importance de chaque étape.
Pour finaliser, je partagerai ma vision holistique de la peau :
les produits sont essentiels, mais la vraie différence se joue aussi au niveau du “terrain” (stress, inflammation, équilibre global).
Ce que vous allez recevoir :
• Une expérience concrète et sensorielle
• Une routine simple à reproduire chez vous
• Une invitation à aller plus loin avec un diagnostic de peau personnalisé

**A MESSAGE FOR NEWCOMERS:**
*In the three years of hosting this coffee group, I have met many people who struggle with anxieties when coming to an event for the first time. Sometimes, it took them more than one attempt before being able to join.*
*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*
*In addition to that, if you arrive and notice any signs of nervousness or fear, you can always let me know right then.*
**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**

Tour of Brothers Drake Meadery and mead/tea tasting
Join us for a tour of Brothers Drake Meadery in Grandview, hosted by the owner Oron Benary. He will explain the mead-making process and offer us generous samples of their fine meads.
Mead is basically wine that is made from honey instead of grapes. There are many different flavors that range from dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet, to sweet. They are best known for their Apple Pie Mead.
Oron has offered us a special price of 5.00 each person for the tour and tasting, which is normally 25.00 per person. I've taken the tour several times, and it's always enlightening and fun.
Rebecca will bring a tea that will pair well with the mead for a tea tasting afterwards.
Park anywhere around the building. Please avoid parking in front of the houses in the neighborhood behind the Meadery.
Please keep your RSVP current. Knowing how many will attend will help Brothers Drake plan accordingly to accommodate us.
