AU SG-TW: A Touch of Taiwan (Sharing Session)
**The journey to Taiwan starts here.**
They’ve hiked the rugged ridges of the Central Mountain Range, watched the sea of clouds from Yushan, and navigated the mystical forests of Alishan. Now, our **AU Taiwan (AUT)** Event Hosts are flying into Singapore to meet you!
At Adventures Unlimited, we don’t believe in "outsourcing" your experience. We believe in family. That’s why we’ve brought our Taiwan team to our home base—so you can hear their stories, feel their passion, and get to know the people who will be leading you through the breathtaking landscapes of Taiwan.
### What to Expect:
This isn't your typical travel slideshow. It’s an intimate evening of storytelling and insider tips from the people who live and breathe the Taiwanese trails.
* **The "Secret" Taiwan:** Beyond the famous peaks, our EHs will share their favorite hidden gems and lesser-known trails.
* **Life on the Trail:** What is it really like to hike in Taiwan? From mountain hut culture to the unique flora and fauna you’ll encounter.
* **Meet the Faces of AUT:** A chance to chat 1-on-1 with our Taiwanese hosts and ask the questions that only a local can answer.
### Who should attend?
* Anyone curious about hiking in Taiwan (from beginners to seasoned trekkers).
* AU members who have already booked an upcoming Taiwan trip.
* Anyone who wants to experience the "AU Difference" and meet our extended regional family.
**Note:** This is a free community event, but space is limited to ensure everyone has a chance to interact with our guests.
Come for the stories, stay for the community. We can't wait to see you there.

Meetup — Securing the Convergence, 5G & OT Threats in Modern Critical Infra
**📍 ⚠️ Registration is mandatory via [LUMA](https://luma.com/6obgaphb)** **⚠️**
—
**AGENDA**
* 6.30pm: Registration & Networking (30mins)
* 7.00pm: Introduction & Announcement (20mins)
* 7.20pm: **MOU Signing** between Division Zero (Div0) & CyberXCenter (15mins)
* 7.35pm: "**Securing the Convergence – 5G & OT Threats in Modern Critical Infrastructure**" by Matthias Yeo, CEO of CyberXCenter
* Till Late: Networking
**ABSTRACT**
As Singapore accelerates its digital transformation and adoption of 5G-enabled systems, the convergence between telecommunications networks and Operational Technology (OT) environments is creating unprecedented opportunities — and equally unprecedented risks. Drawing from hands-on experience building a 5G testbed in collaboration with Nokia, SUTD and DIS, this session by Matthias Yeo provides a practitioner’s perspective on emerging 5G and OT threat landscapes.
The talk will cover:
1\. **The 5G–OT Convergence Risk Surface**
* What have been discussed in CIDEX and how it impacts Singapore
* Some of the risk Singapore is facing as well as other countries
* What are some of the attack we have simulated
2. **Advanced Threats in 5G Environments**
* Control plane vs user plane exploitation
* GTP-U abuse, signaling manipulation, and lateral movement
* Supply chain and vendor trust risks
3\. **Incident Response in 5G & OT**
* What must be captured during an incident (telemetry, identifiers, session context)
* Key forensic artifacts unique to 5G core networks
* Coordinating response across telco, OT engineers, and cybersecurity teams
This session is designed for cybersecurity professionals, OT engineers, telco architects, and policy stakeholders seeking practical, technical insights into defending next-generation infrastructure. Participants will leave with a clearer framework for understanding how 5G reshapes threat hunting, detection engineering, and incident response in converged environments.

**Description**
Ever tried explaining a tech concept without using the usual buzzwords? That’s the challenge behind Techie Taboo, a fun and interactive card game created by ragTech.
Inspired by the classic party game Taboo, Techie Taboo challenges players to explain technical concepts while avoiding a list of “forbidden” words that people normally rely on. The result is a hilarious and surprisingly insightful game where techies and non techies alike learn to communicate complex ideas in simpler, more human ways.
Whether you're a developer, student, founder, or just curious about technology, Techie Taboo turns learning about tech into a collaborative and entertaining experience. It’s designed to spark conversations, improve how we explain technology, and make tech more approachable for everyone.
Come join us for a round and see if you can explain tech without the usual jargon.

Spring Flex Season
**How does a TennisColumbus Season / League run?**
The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season.
**Kickoff Day - March 26th**
The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities.
**Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"**
After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisColumbus doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 10, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,017 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/MatchesInSeason).
**Where to Play?**
Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date.
TennisColumbus sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion.
**How to Play?**
Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format.
**Playoffs**
Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run.
**[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join)**
Full price is $39.95 to play in a season. The earlier you sign up we typically offer discounts during these tough economic times. Just go to the [Join Page](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join) and complete the short form. We'd be happy to find you dedicated tennis playing partners.

BASEBALL IS BACK!! Clippers' Home Saturday Opener!!! ⚾ 🧢 🌭 🎆 🧨 🎇 🗽 🦅 🇺🇸
**Summary**
Celebrate America's 250th year and the [Columbus Clippers'](https://www.milb.com/columbus) 50th season by watching [Franklin County's](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus_Clippers) best team play the [best game in the world](https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/babe_ruth_140116) at [one of the ten best](https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/minors/2025/03/26/huntington-park-voted-top-10-minor-league-ballparks-usa-today-10best-awards/82656048007/) baseball stadiums in the United States in their 2026 home Saturday opener!
The first pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. The gates always open an hour before the scheduled first pitch. I'm usually at the ballpark a half an hour before the scheduled first pitch. Clippers' games usually last around two and a half hours.
Being a few minutes early will help us secure good seats.
**Parking**
I personally always like to park in the [McConnell Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/McConnell+Garage/@39.9685114,-83.0103938,17z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388f24145462d1:0x6238c0f0c851ab70!8m2!3d39.9692957!4d-83.0081175!16s%2Fg%2F1jkw6y27y?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI1MTExNi4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). If nothing else is going on in the area, this should be $7. However, I've also seen it be as high as $22. I can't say for certain what it will be for this game, but once I know, I will post in the comments.
Alternately, there are other lots in the area you can try which will probably be a few dollars cheaper. [Here is a map](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/q_auto/milb/ernng44ya2xkr4wbheql) of all the garages and lots surrounding the stadium. Keep in mind that many of these are outdoor lots and your car will be out in the elements.
If you decide to look for a different lot, I would mildly recommend either the Buggyworks Lot or the Broadbelt Lot, but I have never parked in either of these myself. Although it won't apply for this game, keep in mind that street parking is also free citywide in Columbus on [Sundays and holidays](https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/public-service/right-of-way-permit/on-street-parking-out-of-service-policy-and-procedure-final-8.15.2022-signed.pdf).
**Where We'll Be**
Here is a [map of the ballpark](https://img.mlbstatic.com/milb-images/image/upload/milb/qkqohbqjgtx5uwo6zkgn.pdf).
We'll be sitting on Level 3 of the [Left Field Building](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/huntington-park) (aka the "AEP Power Pavilion"), which features a 110 foot bar with six open patios overlooking the field. This area is covered and will be out of any sun or rain that may transpire.
If you enter the park through the Center Field Entrance (which is at the intersection of Nationwide Blvd. and Neil Ave.), there will be a door to your immediate right after you enter that leads to a staircase up into the Tower.
This door is not well-marked, and if you've never been to Huntington Park before, you may wonder if you're actually allowed to go in and up the stairs. Yes, you are.
We'll be on the Tower's "Level 3". I have uploaded to the Photos section of this event page, below, a picture of the sign you want look for after you ascend the stairs, so you'll know you're on the correct floor.
**Tickets**
Do not buy your tickets ahead of time. They will literally be twice as expensive if you buy them on Ticketmaster.
Instead, go to the ticket window near the Center Field Entrance. Buy a *Standing Room Only* ticket (don't worry, you won't be standing), which will cost you a flat $8 with no other taxes or fees.
These tickets never sell out, and this is the cheapest way to get into the park.
**Carry-Ins**
Per the team's [website](https://www.milb.com/columbus/ballpark/a-z-guide): "Soft-sided coolers are permitted in the general seating area [which is where we'll be], but not hard-sided coolers; also no alcohol, glass bottles, or cans will be permitted. SMALL bags or backpacks of food items and beverages in plastic bottles are ok. Reusable water bottles are permitted, but must be empty upon arrival. Diaper bags are allowed."
I always bring a disposable plastic bottle of water and refill it as I need at the park. Bottled water at the game is something like 4 or 5 dollars. So if you want a bottle of water, I recommend bringing your own bottle instead of buying it at the park.
**Food & Drink**
The area we'll be in has burgers, hot dogs, salads, soft pretzels, ice cream, and other sorts of things you would expect at a baseball game. I've posted pics of the menu in the Photos section, below.
The burger and fries are $14 plus tax, and they're not bad. (This is what I usually get.) The beer is *really* overpriced. It's like $9, or $20 for a pitcher. If there's some people to help me drink it, though, I'll buy a pitcher of Michelob Ultra.
While we'll be on the penultimate floor of the Tower, the top floor (which has a great view, but is fully exposed to the elements) has a [Dirty Frank's](https://dirtyfranks.com/) hot dog stand. I've never gotten anything from there, though I've been told it's good.
The Donatos pizza stand is also a very short walk away from where we'll be. I love Donatos, but the pizza is so expensive at the ballpark. It's like $9 for a personal-sized pepperoni. It is good, though.
**Peroration**
Let's (watch them) play ball!
