Social Meet - New Friends, Good Connections | đCulture Shock Therapy
# **ENGLISH VERSION**
**Dilettos Pastas & CafĂ© â PerĂłn 4217, Buenos Aires**
ïž **Every Saturday \| 18:00 HS â 20:00 HS**
ïž **Entry: 5,000 ARS (â 5 USD)**
***
### **Saturdays just got better.**
Letâs face it â meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating.
So we created a space where everything feels easy.
No pressure. No scripts. No ânetworking voice.â
Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right , and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends.
No minimum consumption â just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow.
Expect:
âš Multilingual chaos
âš Cultural surprises
âš Genuine laughs
âš Unexpected chemistry
âš And that âhow are we just meeting now?â feeling
This isnât networking.
This isnât speed dating.
This is **Culture Shock Therapy** â where the city meets the world.âĄ
If youâve been searching for your tribe in Buenos AiresâŠ
Youâve officially found it

ïž **Todos los sĂĄbados \| 18:00 HS â 20:00 HS**
ïž **Entrada: $5.000 (â 5 USD)**
***
### **Los sĂĄbados ahora tienen otro sabor.**
Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incĂłmodo y a veces un poco intimidante.
Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye.
Sin presiĂłn. Sin caretas. Sin tener que âparecer interesante.â
Solo buena vibra, gente auténtica y conversaciones que valen la pena.
VenĂ, sentate, conocĂ© a alguien nuevo, coqueteĂĄ si pinta , y disfrutĂĄ ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañĂa.
No hay consumo obligatorio â traĂ© tu energĂa, tus ganas de conectar y dejĂĄ que la noche haga lo suyo.
Vas a encontrar:
âš Caos lingĂŒĂstico
âš Choques culturales divertidos
âš Risas reales
âš Conexiones inesperadas
âš Y ese famoso âÂżcĂłmo reciĂ©n nos estamos conociendo?â
No es networking.
No es speed dating.
Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** â donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. âĄ

This isnât a paid shoot - so thereâs no need to carry all your gear.
Come light with your favorite setup. Weâll be walking a lot - and extra weight means extra stress!
## **đč HOW TO JOIN**
Group is limited to 10 participants to keep the experience focused.
đ One Episode Pass â **20 USD/ARS 20.000**
Send a message to reserve your spot.

Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee | đCulture Shock Therapy
Español Abajo
**âïž Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee âïž**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
\*\* What to expect?\*\*
âïž Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
âïž Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
âïž Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zoneâwithout feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
**Where?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
**How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but theyâre worth every cent).

**âïžCoffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son MĂĄs Fuertes que el CafĂ©âïž**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incómodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. Aquà venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por qué seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
\*\* ¿Qué puedes esperar?\*\*
âïž Preguntas que te harĂĄn pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
âïž Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del trĂĄfico.
âïž DinĂĄmicas interactivas que te sacarĂĄn de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estås listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con café en mano y un toque de humor sarcåstico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
**ÂżDĂłnde?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (porque el cafĂ© sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeĂna desperdiciada).
**ÂżCuĂĄnto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sĂ, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Googleâs Universal Analytics has been sunset, weâve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book âGoogle Analytics Alternativesâ.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GAâs market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You wonât find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of whatâs currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
Weâll also be giving out some free copies of Jasonâs book! So even if youâve got a âGA4Lyfeâ tattoo (no judgement), thereâs free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
Thanks to our 2026 sponsors:

Adventures in Ecological Horticulture
with Rebecca McMackin
Wednesday, March 18
1:00pm - 2:30pm
Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens.
Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically.
Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden.
She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity Schoolâs Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY.
Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches.
She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPAâs Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the
Harvard Graduate School of Design.
This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.
Humanist Program: Fighting the Efforts to Insert Religion into Public Education
The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.
Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk.
Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association:
They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other churchâstate issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEAâs early wins and hard lessons, what weâre seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape â and practical ways to get involved.
Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online
