Join us for the final screening of the series dedicated to the marine life preservation hosted by the International volunteers of WWF. We close the series with *Sonic Sea* — a powerful and award-winning documentary that explores the hidden impact of ocean noise pollution on marine life. Through stunning visuals and compelling stories, the film reveals how human-made sound affects whales, dolphins and the delicate balance of our oceans. This special closing event is an opportunity to reflect, connect and continue the conversation about protecting our planet’s ecosystems. After the screening, we invite everyone to stay for a short discussion and informal networking. 📍 Hosted by WWF International Volunteers 🎬 Film: *Sonic Sea* 🌍 Final screening of the documentary series We look forward to sharing this meaningful evening with you.

⚽ The time has come to begin FIFA WORLD CUP ⚽ Opening match: 🇲🇽 Mexico vs South Africa 🇿🇦 We will start with casual evening drinks at 19:00 to meet new or/and old friends. At 21:00 we will watch together the first game of the world championship. Come and join us 😀

Wellplayed welcomes you for casual gaming at our shop. We have a selection of games available to play in store or feel free to bring one from your personal collection. **Note:** *The number of attendees shown here on Meetup might seem small, but don't worry! Many more people are participating in our event through [our Discord channel](https://discord.com/invite/r4kEqta). Join us to connect with the full community and enjoy a vibrant and interactive experience!* We collect our standard playing fee of CHF 8.- and you are welcome to stay and play for the entire evening. In case you want to join us on a regular basis we also have memberships. Our Collection is quite extensive and you will always find someone to play games with! Our community speaks both English and German. We offer a small range of snacks and drinks to be consumed at the venue.

Hare is KTTT. A short trail followed by expensive beer and street food at the hardturm street food festival. **Where**: Bag drop is at the mobility car saved on meetup. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
