Game Art

Hello fellow designers! This time we're practicing the art of noticing at Giardini Montanelli (Porta Venezia park). We'll wander, slow down, and capture what catches our attention through sketching, photography, writing, or whatever medium feels right to you. Bring your sketchbooks, pens, pencils, cameras, or just your eyes and a curious mind. After exploring, we'll gather at the café in the park to share what we noticed over a coffee. Let's immerse ourselves in the park together and see what it has to teach us.

Every year it starts with *“Guys, Eurovision is so...”* and **somehow ends with everyone screaming lyrics together after the third spritz.** So yes, it’s that time again. **On Tuesday 12th we watch the Eurovision semifinals together** at QUO, with live commentary, questionable opinions, dramatic reactions and our very serious popular jury voting every performance and outfit. And obviously: ☀️ **Aperitivo** in the outdoor area from 18:00 🍺 **Beer tower promo:** 21€ until 21:00 🗳️ **Voting sheets available** because we take nonsense very seriously **Eurovision @ QUO Bar** \- line up: \- First semifinal on Tuesday 12/05\. \- Second semifinal continues Thursday 14/05\. \- Final on Saturday 16/05 **Note:** **RSVP on Meetup does not include a table reservation.** To reserve a table, please use this link: [www.quomilano.com/prenotazionetavolo](http://www.quomilano.com/prenotazionetavolo) **QUO Bar** \- Porta Romana\, Milan

Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno.

Questo meetup nasce proprio con questo spirito. **Un incontro informale ma strutturato** per riflettere insieme su ciò che **il Salone ci ispira**: le idee che funzionano, le sfide che emergono e le opportunità che possiamo intravedere per il **futuro del design**, dell’**innovazione** e dei **processi creativi.** Per facilitare la conversazione utilizzeremo **Rose, Thorn, Bud**, una microstruttura molto efficace per generare insight e riflessioni condivise

Don't forget to get your ticket on Eventbrite to register for the event: https://www.eventbrite.it/e/post-technical-data-practitioner-impulses-and-conversation-tickets-1988266535731 Data practitioners (Data Scientists, Architects and Engineers, AI/ML Engineers and Strategists, etc) are changing the world, bringing machine learning and AI models to life, building the recommender systems that influence what we buy, watch, and listen to, and deciding how companies use the data they have about us. Our roles as data practitioners now have an impact beyond the immediate technical work we do. We believe it's time to reconsider our understanding of ourselves and our role to meet the growing influence our work has on our companies and society at large and to remain relevant as the technical aspect of our work becomes more automated. We call this the "post-technical data practitioner". Talk 1: Post-Technical Data Practitioner (Davide Posillipo, Komebi Studio) Talk 2: Stoic Data Scientist Framework (Rachel Berryman, Common Digital) Speakers: Rachel Berryman is an AI and Data Strategist based in Berlin. Rachel focuses on building responsible AI systems, primarily in the energy sector, and writes a substack on making better data solutions: [commondigital.substack.com](http://commondigital.substack.com/) Davide Posillipo is a Data Scientist and co-founder of Komebi Studio, a design studio dedicated to exploring the intersections between Data, AI and Design. During the last 4 years he focused on Data Engineering, Deep Learning and Machine Learning leading an R&D team for an Italian consulting company. He serves as member of the Advisory Boards of the Product-Service Systems Design (Politecnico di Milano) and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (Università degli Studi di Milano) master degrees courses.

*This club is for founders, VCs, operators, and startup ecosystem players — past, present, and future.* ​ Padel is one of those games you can pick up at any point in your life and immediately enjoy. You don't need to be fit, you don't need a background in racket sports, you just need to show up. The court is small enough that nothing feels out of reach, and the glass walls do half the work for you. ​What makes it special is that you actually talk while you play. Between points, during rallies, after a shot that somehow worked — there's a natural rhythm to padel that makes conversation easy. You get to know your partner in a way that just doesn't happen sitting across a table. ​We had a rally once that went on so long everyone stopped caring who won the point. That's kind of the spirit of the whole thing. ​ **🎯 What to Expect** ​**Two courts, at least 8 players** — we rotate and run mini-tournaments when numbers allow. All levels, always. ​ **Real conversations** — with your partner, between points, after the game. No agenda. ​**Competitive but Chill** — good plays, better laughs, and a rematch culture. 🔄 ​**💸 €15 per person** — pay before the game: [paypal.me/alexbing2](paypal.me/alexbing2) Paying upfront keeps the courts full and the group reliable. No last-minute ghosts. Arrive 15 minutes early to warm up and meet people. ​ **⚠️ Cancellation Policy** Cancel at least 2 days before if you can't make it — someone on the waiting list will be very happy to take your spot. No-shows without notice lose their €15 deposit and get moved to the waiting list for future events.

Discover the practice of Pranayama, conscious breathing exercises to eliminate stress, clear the mind, and manage anxiety. The practice will be enriched with aromatherapy with essential oils, and will conclude with a moment of sharing and introspection. Suitable for everyone! **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)
