🧘 Yoga & Sound Healing🎐 Mercoledì e Venerdì ore 9.00 Cominciamo la giornata con una pratica dolce e intensa: una sessione di Hatha Yoga accompagnata da un rilassamento finale con campane di cristallo di quarzo. La pratica è semplice, accessibile e profondamente introspettiva. Il lavoro sul respiro guida il movimento, mentre il suono sostiene il sistema nervoso e favorisce uno stato di presenza stabile e rigenerante. Le posizioni vengono mantenute con ascolto, senza forzature, per creare spazio, sciogliere le tensioni e risvegliare l’energia in modo naturale. Le vibrazioni delle campane accompagnano la fase finale di rilassamento, permettendo al corpo di integrare il lavoro e alla mente di quietarsi.

Quanti progetti Laravel iniziano “puliti” e dopo qualche mese diventano un labirinto di controller gonfi, chiamate statiche a Eloquent e business logic sparsa ovunque? Il problema non è il framework. È come organizziamo il codice. In questo meetup parleremo di **Architettura Esagonale (Ports & Adapters)** applicata davvero a Laravel — non teoria accademica, ma scelte concrete: interfacce, servizi, dependency injection e binding nel container. Vedremo come: * Separare il dominio dal framework * Rendere il codice più testabile (senza DB) * Ridurre l’accoppiamento * Strutturare un progetto che non odi tra due anni * Usare il Service Container di Laravel in modo intelligente Non sarà una lezione universitaria. Non sarà un talk dogmatico. Sarà un viaggio pragmatico dentro un problema che tutti abbiamo vissuto: **come evitare che il nostro progetto cresca nel caos.** Se lavori con Laravel, questo è il posto giusto per discutere approcci, mettere in discussione abitudini consolidate e portarti a casa spunti concreti da applicare nei tuoi prossimi progetti.

Ciao Pythonistas! 🐍 This month we shake things up with an incredible lineup. We have not one, not two, but three experienced developers who are now working as Engineering Managers, Heads of, or even VPs of Data, AI and Generative AI in large organisations. Not only that, but we're changing the format. This time, rather than a talk, we will engage in a panel - with open QA from the public about their experience, challenges and perspectives. Don't expect a one-sided panel: we will discuss themes ranging from data and AI governance, how to ship AI solutions that work in large enterprises and manage stakeholders, but also how to organise a team given how much GenAI and coding agents have changed the way we do our job. **Parvaneh Shiafiei, AI Manager @ TUI Musement** **Alberto Danese, Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics @ Nexi** **Marco Santoni, Data Platform and Engineering Manager @ TeamSystem** **Parvaneh Shiafiei** is an AI Manager with over 10 years of experience delivering AI solutions that drive real business impact. She currently works at TUI Musement in the travel industry, where she focuses on improving both internal and customer-facing processes through AI, developing and scaling solutions in production, including GenAI applications. Working closely with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, and business, she helps translate AI capabilities into practical solutions such as conversational AI for customer interactions, GenAI tools that streamline internal processes, and ranking and recommendation systems that improve product discovery. Before joining TUI, she spent several years in consulting, helping organizations across industries identify high-impact AI use cases and bring AI solutions into production. **Alberto Danese** is the Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics at Nexi, where he oversees the design and production of AI/ML systems for the digital payments sector, leading four teams across analytics and engineering. He has over 15 years of experience in data science applied to financial services. He is a Kaggle Competitions Grandmaster and regularly shares projects and insights on ML, AI, and data systems through talks, open-source projects, and his blog, *All About Data*. **Marco Santoni** is a Data Platform and Engineering Manager at TeamSystem, where he works on scalable data platforms, AI-enabled data products, and data governance architectures. Based in Milan, he is an active member of Python Milano community and co-host of the Intervista Pythonista podcast. He is also involved in education as Technical and Scientific Advisor at ITS Rizzoli, where he teaches data and software engineering topics. **🙏 Sponsors** A big thank you to **NumFOCUS** for supporting our community!

Join us for a fun urban game in Milan! Tour Quiz is not a classic guided tour, it is a city game where you explore the city while solving clues and competing with other teams. Instead of just listening to a guide, you discover Milan through a playful challenge: observe details, answer questions and reach the final point with the best score. Many people think Milan is only about the Duomo, but during this game you will discover hidden stories and surprising details of the city. Even locals often learn something new. **How the game works** At the beginning participants meet the organizer at the starting point. Each team receives a map of the route, a booklet with stories and curiosities and a quiz sheet with questions. Teams walk through the city following the route and solving the questions along the way. At the end we meet again at the final point, check the answers and announce the winning team. The team with the highest score wins a small prize. **Teams** You can come with your own team or join alone. If you come alone, we will help create teams with other participants. **Languages** The game is available in English, Italian and Russian. When booking, please write which language you prefer. **Route - Best of Milan** The route includes some of the most iconic places in Milan such as Duomo, Brera, Castello Sforzesco and the historic center. **Practical information** Duration about 2 - 2.5 hours. Team size 2 - 6 people. Total group up to 20 participants. Price 25€ adults, 15€ children. **Tickets** Tickets can be purchased here [https://www.eventbrite.it/e/tour-quiz-il-meglio-di-milano-tickets-1984073516297](https://www.eventbrite.it/e/tour-quiz-il-meglio-di-milano-tickets-1984073516297) or on our website [https://www.xcitytours.com/event-details/tour-quiz-il-meglio-di-milano-pomeriggio-7](https://www.xcitytours.com/event-details/tour-quiz-il-meglio-di-milano-pomeriggio-7) Your Meetup RSVP helps us estimate the group size, but the ticket must be purchased through one of the links above. **About X City Tours** X City Tours organizes urban game experiences that combine exploration, culture and fun. Instead of a traditional guided tour, participants discover Milan through a playful challenge. The goal is simple: discover Milan while playing. Join our Meetup group to discover future Tour Quiz routes in Milan.

The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
