Our inaugural walk takes on a unique, two-part route using the **Walking Trails @ CDC** \- Bedok and Tampines Trails\. This "phygital" experience combines scenic walking with fun digital gamification—think of it as a structured\, localized Pokémon GO\!

Finding all six of these elusive Ollies can earn you RedeemSG rewards \(details at https://www\.crowdtask\.gov\.sg/quest/walking\-trails\-cdc\)\. We will begin the first half of the walk soaking in the neighborhood charm of the Bedok trail. The trial ends at the iconic Simpang Bedok where we will have our dinner before embarking on the second half of the walk, which is the Tampines trail. We will be taking a short MRT train hop from Simpang Bedok to the starting point of the Tampines trail. ### Event Details: * **Meeting Point:** **Siglap MRT Station Exit 3** * **1st Half Drop-off Point:** Simpang Bedok * **Ending Point:** Tampines Central Park * **Distance:** Total of \~10km (Comfortable, conversational pace) ### What to Bring: * Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers. * An EZ-Link card or mobile payment for the quick MRT transit between trails. * A water bottle to stay hydrated. * An umbrella or rain coat. * A smart phone if you want to participate in the Ollies hunt. * An appetite for dinner and good conversation! ### Disclaimer: * Evening Walks is a casual social group run entirely by volunteer hosts.

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.
