"Oh, product and engineering work really well together here." — someone at every company, in every all-hands, ever. But do they, though? **This event is for EMs, PMs, Product Designers who want to make their workstyle actionable.** The product world has spent years arguing that PMs, designers, and engineers should be in the room together from day one instead of handing work down a conveyor belt like it's a factory floor. It's one of the most talked-about ideas in how we build products, but also one of the hardest to actually pull off 🤷 This edition of OmniTalks is about what it looks like when it works. We call it the trifecta — a Product Manager, a Product Designer, and an Engineering Manager, have picked an already shipped feature and will deliver three perspectives on how it got built. Three people from Omnisend's Forms’ team will each take the stage and walk you through the same project — what they were trying to solve and how the three of them stayed aligned *(or didn't🤷).* **Agenda** * 17:30 — Doors open. * 18:00 — The trifecta takes the stage in relay, walks you through the project from three different perspectives (this part will be streamed online) * 19:30 — Networking * 21:00 — Extending the evening? Alaus Studija is very close to our office 🍻 **The Trifecta** Augustina Reipšlėger, Staff Product Designer Povilas Žvirblis, Engineering Manager Paulius Preikšaitis, Product Manager This is a hybrid event and will be streamed online. 📷 Photos will be taken at the event

Come to check out our hackerspace, talk to people and learn some new things, maybe use the tools for a short while, or just sit down with a laptop and do some work in a quiet place. Also a good time to sign up for a membership! We will have tea and coffee, likely also cookies. Come whenever from 19:00 till 22:00 - we might even be open until 24:00! If there's a problem (i.e. doors not open), call 28701072.

„Riga Tech Dinner“ ir klātienes pasākums tiem, kuriem parasti ir dziļas pārdomas, daudz jautājumu un ideju, ar kurām dalīties. Ikviens ir aicināts piedalīties diskusijās vai vienkārši klausīties! Pasākuma valoda: runāsim latviski. **Šī pasākuma īpašie viesi:** * **Egita Rudzīte** \- Valsts digitālās attīstības aģentūras direktora vietniece \- "Valsts pārvaldē ar digitālajiem jautājumiem es strādāju jau kopš savas pirmās darba dienas\, kad uzsāku darba gaitas\, mācoties RTU 2\.kursā 2000\.gadā\. Man tuvas tēmas ir starpiestāžu datu apmaiņa un ērti\, saprotami e\-pakalpojumi iedzīvotājiem\. Valsts pārvaldē strādāju ar misijas apziņu un cerību par efektīvu un digitāli prasmīgu Latvijas valsts pārvaldi\." * [Jānis Ziediņš](https://www.linkedin.com/in/janisziedins/) \- Direktora vietnieks digitālās attīstības jautājumos @ KISC \- Ikdienā strādā ar valsts digitālajām platformām\, mākslīgā intelekta ieviešanu un datu pārvaldību publiskajā sektorā\. Interesē praktiski\, sabiedrībai noderīgi tehnoloģiju risinājumi\, kas savieno kultūru\, datus un MI\. **Par pasākumu** Jūs varbūt domājat: "Kāda ir šāda pasākuma vērtība? Kāpēc nepietiek ar citiem esošajiem biznesa tīklošanas pasākumiem?" Galvenā atšķirība ir tā, ka mēs tiekamies, baudām vakariņas un apspriežam visu, kas mums interesē. Tas ir pasākums tehnoloģiju nozares profesionāļiem, lai apmainītos ar idejām un attīstītos. Īpašie viesi pastāstīs nedaudz par sevi un darīs visu iespējamo, lai uzsāktu diskusiju, ja telpā iestātos neveikla klusuma brīdis. Tomēr atceramies, ka “Runāšana – sudrabs, klusēšana – zelts”. Šis ir arī labs laiks, lai padomātu un klausītos sarunās, kuras parasti neuzsāktu ne mājās, ne darbā. **Saziņa un kanāli:** Pievienojieties mums WhatsApp:[ ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYDCBI5ca2BBvmgDVjA3fM)[https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYDCBI5ca2BBvmgDVjA3fM](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GYDCBI5ca2BBvmgDVjA3fM) Iepriekšējos pasākumus varat apskatīt [Techies of Baltics LinkedIn lapā](https://www.linkedin.com/company/riga-tech-dinner/).

Ja vēlaties piedalīties, informējiet pasākuma vadītāju. **Prasības dalībniekiem:** * centies neiekavēties * iepazīstiniet ar sevi * nepātrauciet citus * nāciet ar tukšu vēderu un samaksājiet par savām vakariņām * neesi viegli aizkaitināms, ja esi izsalcis * šī nav ballīte. Tomēr glāze vīna var nedaudz atbrīvot mēli * ja negri runāt, tad nerunā. Bet ierasties tīklošanās pasākumā un nepasacīt ne vārda ir kā skatīties veikalu skatlogus un neko nenopirkt * pasākuma dalības maksu samaksājiet skaidrā naudā uz vietas. Nav iespējams veikt maksājumu tiešsaistē * vissvarīgākais ir atvērts prāts un iekļaujoša attieksme pret visiem * RSVP – ierodieties vai savlaicīgi atjauniniet savu statusu, ja nevarat ierasties **Kāpēc ir pasākuma dalības maksa?** \- mums pasākumā vienmēr ir 2 īpaši viesi\. Viņi ir saņēmuši īpašu ielūgumu pievienoties mums\. Mums vajadzētu segt viņu vakariņu izdevumus kā vismazāko\, ko varam darīt\, papildus pateicībai\. Pasākuma dalības maksa ir fonds šim nolūkam\. **Pasākuma vadītājs:** Uldis Karlovs-Karlovskis ir [IT eksperts](https://uldiskarlovskarlovskis.com/) ar 20 gadu daudzveidīgu pieredzi un MI uzņēmuma [MoonMoon](https://moonmoon.lv/) vadītājs.

Let’s meet and share our thoughts about Carson McCullers’ novella, The Ballad of The Sad Café.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
