What's next for Azure and the user group?
Tue, Oct 13, 5:00 PMFor this session we'll have an interactive chat about what's on the roadmap and discuss some of the upcoming changes that have been announced around Azure, Purview and other things. This is our post-summer session after a 3-month break and it will prove to be incredibly compelling. We'll be asking and answering questions and hopefully having a lively debate on: \- What's next for Microsoft Azure in 2027? \- What is Microsoft going to announce at the AI tour? \- What is the real\-world assessment of newer services like IQ? Are they ready for production? \- How are low code and programmable services converging in 2027? Enjoy a drink and a slice of pizza on us. At this session we'll also be asking you to help us determine speakers and an agenda this year. Please attend if you can so that we can grow and nurture the group together.
Courtroom of Kindness🌳🌲
Sat, Oct 10, 4:30 PMEver wondered what you'd do if you had to judge someone who broke the law for a good reason? ⚖️ Join us for Courtroom of Kindness, a playful but surprisingly moving evening where you step into a courtroom drama with a group of strangers, argue a case, weigh the evidence and decide together what justice actually looks like. 🧑⚖️💬 No acting skills needed. No legal knowledge needed. Just bring your curiosity and your sense of fairness. **Staying in touch** Interested in finding out about all the events sooner than on Meetup or staying in touch beyond the events, you can join our WhatsApp channel and community using 👉🏽 [Deeper Connections WhatsApp Channel](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6CBAdIN9ijrEYdv33z) 👉🏽 [Deeper Connections WhatsApp Community](https://chat.whatsapp.com/EqGsmF3021RKTwBpGcuR80) **What's the case? 🔍** A real-world hypothetical moral dilemma. Someone has done something they shouldn't have, for a reason that might just be right. The facts are clear. What they mean isn't. There's no obvious villain, no easy answer and plenty of room for good people to disagree. And there may be a surprise or two hidden in the evidence 📩 Your courtroom decides: was it wrong? Who else shares the responsibility? And what would actually put things right? ⚖️ **How does it work?** Pick your envelope 🎒 One envelope holds speaking roles, the other holds supporting roles. You choose how much of the spotlight you want. * **Draw your role**: prosecution, defence, witness, defendant or jury 🎭 Meet your team and read a short briefing, just enough to know who you are and what you're fighting for 📄 * **Prepare your case together** 🤝 The trial ⚖️ Opening statements, witnesses, cross-examination... 📩 * **Jeopardy** 💫 Sealed evidence that could turn everything on its head.😮 * **The verdict** 🗳️ A secret ballot, then everyone decides where the responsibility really lies * **The Circle of Repair** 🌱 Step out of your role and work out, together, what would actually put things right Compare verdicts with the other courtrooms. Same case, same evidence. Will you reach the same answer? 🤔 **How to get the best out of this event?** **• Respect:** While we explore cultures, this event is not a space for debating but about learning and understanding. No judgement on how different cultures and beliefs shape people’s lives. 🙏🌍 • **Be open:** We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for members from all cultures. You can help by keeping an open mind. 🤗🧠 • **Share:** Feel free to share your own cultural traditions. Everyone’s perspective is valued, and all stories are welcome. 🗣️🎉 **Who is it for?** 👀 * You are a regular on our Deeper Conversations event (have a look at our past events to know more) * You love a good moral dilemma and don't need a neat answer 🧠 * You've ever shouted at a courtroom drama on TV 📺 * You're curious how other people decide what's fair ⚖️ * You want to meet people in a way that's fun, a little dramatic and genuinely meaningful 🎉 **What's in it for you?** 🌟 * Build on your connections, which requires showing up 💡 * Work as a team with people you've only just met 🤝 * Argue passionately about something that isn't about you 🔥 * Discover how differently we all see fairness 🔄 * Leave with a story you'll be telling your friends for weeks 🌟 Each case touches different themes of society. It's handled with care, and you can step out at any point, no explanation needed. If any of these themes are close to home for you right now, feel free to message us before the event. **Ready to take the stand?** 🌊 Join us for an evening of drama, debate and kindness. Will justice be served? Only the jury can say. We really hope to see you there! 👋 **About Deeper Connections** We have a mission at Deeper Connections to improve the quality of people's lives through conversation. All our events are centered around the concept of connecting deeply, because we believe we all deserve to be seen, felt and understood for who we really are. To have the 'deeper conversation' approach when relating with others can change our lives and can change the world. **Our Values** At the heart of everything we do is empathy: the willingness to understand another person's world before your own. Every value below grows from it. * **Empathy**: Seek to understand what others are feeling and experiencing, not just what they are saying. 💛 * **Respect:** Treat everyone with kindness and consideration. ❤️ * **Open-mindedness:** Be open to different perspectives and ideas. 🧠💡 * **Active Participation:** Share your thoughts and engage in meaningful discussions. 🗣️💬 * **Accessibility:** We believe meaningful connection should be accessible to everyone. Our community makes this possible by supporting each other. 🤝
