A conversation with Bob Baxley on Apple’s enduring impact on product design

In this wide-ranging talk, Bob explores how Apple influenced the fundamental relationship between humans and technology—reframing software not merely as a utility, but as a medium of individual empowerment. > *"I think the dream of a 'bicycle for the mind' is still out there, but it’s certainly gotten buried by the capitalist impulse over the past few years... My hope is to shift people’s thinking so that they see software as a medium — on par with movies, music, and books — versus a tool."* — **Bob Baxley** **Part 2: Networking, Drinks & Refreshments** Connect with fellow designers, product managers, and builders over drinks and light snacks provided by our host, N26. ## 🗓️ Agenda * **17:00:** Doors open & arrival * **18:30:** Keynote Talk + Q&A with Bob Baxley * **19:30:** Networking & Refreshments * **21:00:** Doors close ## 🚀 Registration & Security While this event is **completely free to attend**, capacity is capped and subject to host approval.

In 100 Minuten entwickelt ihr in dem wissenschaftlich-kreativen Prozess unterschiedliche Zukunftsszenarien zu eurem Kernthema. **100 Minuten können reichen, um den Blick auf morgen neu zu ordnen.** Neben **Design Thinking** ist **Futures Thinking** eine wichtige Methode, um mögliche Zukunftszenarien zu durchdenken.

***Escape to Bohemian Switzerland for golden autumn forests, dramatic sandstone viewpoints, cozy chalet evenings and unforgettable Czech nature*** **HOW DO I JOIN THIS TRIP?** Click on link below to get complete info and to sign up for this event by getting your ticket. [https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/bohemian-switzerland-autumn-escape](https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/bohemian-switzerland-autumn-escape) **SPECIAL OFFER FOR NEW USERS** * 10% New User Discount using promo code: **MEETUP10** * Valid for this trip or any other trips available on our website. 🌍**WHY GO?** Step away from the city and into the quiet beauty of **Bohemian Switzerland National Park** for a three-day early-autumn escape based in the picturesque village of **Jetřichovice**. As September arrives, the forests begin transforming into shades of gold, amber and deep green, creating one of the most beautiful seasons to explore the sandstone landscapes of northern Czechia. Our base is Jetřichovice, a peaceful village surrounded by dramatic rock formations, forest trails and some of the most spectacular viewpoints in the region. Instead of rushing from one attraction to another, this getaway is designed around **slow adventure, scenic hiking, nature, good food and great company**. Expect crisp autumn air, quiet forest paths, panoramic sandstone viewpoints, cozy evenings, warm meals and the chance to experience Bohemian Switzerland when the summer crowds have begun to disappear. The adventure combines: 🍁 Golden autumn landscapes 🥾 Scenic forest hiking 🪨 Dramatic sandstone formations 🌄 Panoramic viewpoints 🏞️ Bohemian Switzerland National Park 🚤 Scenic river gorge experience 🏡 Cozy private group accommodation 🔥 Warm meals & relaxed evenings 🤝 International social atmosphere If you love hiking, photography, nature, autumn landscapes or simply escaping the city for a few days, this is the perfect early-fall adventure. **🏔️ WHY JETŘICHOVICE?** Jetřichovice is one of the best bases for discovering the quieter side of Bohemian Switzerland. The village provides direct access to several famous sandstone viewpoints and hiking routes, making it possible to explore the surrounding landscape without constantly relying on transportation. The three iconic viewpoints — **Mariina vyhlídka, Vilemínina stěna and Rudolfův kámen** — are among the area's signature attractions. Mariina vyhlídka in particular is renowned for its panoramic views and is a popular sunset location. Late September also brings a completely different atmosphere: fewer summer crowds, cooler temperatures and the first signs of autumn appearing throughout the forests. 🌟**WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?** **🌄 Jetřichovice Viewpoints** Discover the spectacular sandstone viewpoints surrounding Jetřichovice, including the famous **Mariina vyhlídka**, **Vilemínina stěna** and **Rudolfův kámen**. These viewpoints are among the most iconic landscapes in the area, offering sweeping views across forests, sandstone formations and the surrounding Bohemian countryside. Mariina vyhlídka is particularly famous for its panoramic views and atmospheric sunsets over the surrounding landscape. **🍁 Golden Autumn Forests** Walk beneath colorful autumn canopies as the forests around Jetřichovice begin their seasonal transformation. The combination of sandstone cliffs, winding trails and changing foliage creates an especially atmospheric hiking experience in late September. **🪨 Dramatic Sandstone Landscapes** Bohemian Switzerland is famous for its distinctive sandstone formations, narrow valleys, rock towers and dramatic viewpoints. The landscapes around Jetřichovice offer a quieter alternative to some of the region's busier tourist areas. **🏰 Pravčická Brána** Visit the spectacular **Pravčická Brána**, the iconic natural sandstone arch and one of the defining landmarks of Bohemian Switzerland. The surrounding landscape provides spectacular views across the forested valleys and sandstone formations. **🚤 Scenic River Gorge Boat Ride** Experience the atmospheric waterways of the **Kamenice Gorge** aboard a traditional guided boat. The narrow gorge is surrounded by moss-covered sandstone walls and dense forest, creating a completely different perspective of the national park. *Boat operation is subject to seasonal conditions and local availability.* **🏡 Cozy Private Group Accommodation** Stay together in a private holiday home, creating the perfect base for relaxing after a day outdoors. The property, **Chaloupka v pohodě**, features: * Two comfortable bedrooms * Shared kitchen * Cozy living room * Private garden * Sun terrace * Free WiFi The accommodation provides a relaxed environment where the group can cook, socialize and unwind together. **🔥 Warm Autumn Evenings** After hiking through the cool Czech forests, return to the chalet for warm food, relaxed conversations and a cozy evening with the group.
