Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at our Copenhagen Shut Up & Write! sessions. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, résumé, melody, poem, or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SCHEDULE: - 15 minutes of hellos and getting settled; maybe some quick intros. - Then, the timer starts! : writing for 1 hour. - After the hour is up... chat / take off / keep writing, if you're on a roll. OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens once the hour of writing is complete. Writing can be very solitary... connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing. It's best to be on time, but BEING LATE IS ALSO OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check in with us after the session. (We’ll be the ones with the small Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer. What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Join an inspiring and educational flower arranging course, where we dive into the art of creating beautiful bouquets using modern techniques. The course is designed for both beginners and more experienced flower enthusiasts who want to explore different styles and learn about new trends in floral design. We begin with an introduction to classic arranging techniques and the basic principles of color and material selection. From there, we explore various styles – from romantic and wild bouquets to more minimalist and structured designs. To wrap up, we’ll focus on the contemporary bouquet – a bold and innovative style that we are proud to have helped introduce in Denmark. This style combines unique materials, asymmetry, and a playful approach to shape and texture, resulting in a truly distinctive expression. Everything you need is included: Flowers, greenery, tools, and materials will be provided – all you need to do is show up and let your creativity bloom. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the process and ensure that you leave with your own personal masterpiece and plenty of inspiration. Take part in this exciting course and gain new skills, insights into current trends, and enjoy a cozy day in great company! **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls.

**Important:** This event will happen in real life in Copenhagen. **Venue:** H9 - Halmtorvet 9, Copenhagen This event is sponsored by the [Copenhagen Product Collective](https://www.cphproduct.com/). **Team Topologies in the age of AI** *The Future of Product Development* What org charts don’t tell you about how software teams actually work, and what AI is starting to change. Most conversations about AI in product development jump straight to tools and prompts. And most conversations about team structure stay safely inside diagrams. This meetup puts both on the same table. Because how we organize teams and how we build products are no longer separate questions. ## **You’ll leave with insights on:** * How stream-aligned, platform, and enabling teams actually work in practice * What Team Topologies means for the role of the product manager * Where AI is already changing how teams collaborate and hand off work * How team boundaries are starting to blur — and what that implies * Whether current team structures will hold up in an AI-augmented world Expect concrete insights, honest trade-offs, and a conversation that connects today’s best practices with what might break next. We will have two exciting speakers lined up, each offering a unique perspective on how to organize product teams in the age of AI. Speakers are: 1. **Jesper Just Jsenen** – *How to best restructure a complex product organization in the age of AI* Jesper shares how Milestone Systems has approached restructuring a complex product organization using Team Topologies: * What drove the change * How teams are structured in practice * What worked — and what didn’t * What it means for product managers 2. **Kasper Junge** - *How AI is reshaping how we organise product* Kasper explores how AI is already influencing team structure: * Where AI sits in product teams today * How it’s dissolving traditional boundaries and handoffs * What the near future might look like: smaller teams, new roles, new topologies * The open question: *does Team Topologies still hold in an AI world?* Join us at **H9** for an evening of practitioner perspectives, sharp thinking, and good conversations with fellow product people in Copenhagen. Our good friends at the [Copenhagen Product Collective](https://www.cphproduct.com/) are making sure the bar is full and free. 🙏 The event is powered by [Learning Loop](https://learningloop.io/). **AGENDA:** * Intro (and who’s participating) * **Jesper Just Jensen** – *How to best restructure a complex product organization in the age of AI* * Beer break * **Kasper Junge** - *How AI is reshaping how we organise product* * More Networking * Thanks for tonight **Keywords:** leadership, product teams, team topologies, scaling, delivery focus, strategy shift, team alignment, sustainable pace, resilience, product operating model, productivity, team collaboration, rapid prototyping, venture studios

I tre rum bliver du som publikum ført igennem en uhyrlig tragedie, der fortæller, hvad et enkelt menneske kan formå - en undersøgelse af den mulige ondskab i os selv. "Ondskabens banalitet" en erkendelse af menneskets mørke. Forestillingen begynder i foyeren, hvor du møder en helt almindelig mand. Han gør almindelige ting som fx at hænge din jakke op, servere kaffe, alt imens han fortæller om sin familie, sit arbejde og sine interesser. Et møde mellem mennesker. Han er din fortrolige og følger dig gennem hele forløbet. En helt almindelig mand der tilbyder at tage Eichmann på sig, for at vi sammen kan undersøge det vi ikke har lyst til at se.

**“Wild Technology (!) — Beyond AI, Beyond Control?”** Bioengineering, Enhancement, Acceleration, and the Future of Being Human Technology is no longer just something we *use*. It’s something that reshapes bodies, minds, and even evolution itself. From gene editing and brain–computer interfaces to synthetic life and runaway AI, we’re entering a phase where the boundaries of the human are no longer fixed. This isn’t a futurist hype session or a tech demo. It’s a philosophical conversation about limits, responsibility, and what it means to remain human in a world of radical technological power. *** **Topics we’ll touch on:** * Beyond AI: bioengineering, gene editing, and human enhancement * Are we improving humanity—or redesigning it? * Who gets access to enhancement—and who is left behind? * Is there such a thing as “playing God,” or is that fear outdated? * Do moral limits still apply when technology moves faster than ethics? * What happens when evolution becomes a design choice? * And finally… is there a point where technology stops serving life—and starts redefining it? Casual discussion. No technical background required—just curiosity and a willingness to think boldly and carefully at the same time. Whether you feel excited, uneasy, inspired, or alarmed—you’re not alone. Let’s explore the edge of the possible—and ask where, if anywhere, we should draw the line.

Lisbet and Michael organize a concept dinner for 8 guests at their home in Hørsholm, focusing on hobbies: what we build, make and do when we are fully in flow. Lisbet Madsen built her career as a senior consultant and international team leader in global companies including Shell, Unilever and IBM. She worked throughout Europe, the Middle East and Asia, advising management teams and leading complex transformation processes. Today she exhibits ceramics and visual arts: a continuation of her desire to create and communicate with precision. Michael Regnarsen spent nearly two decades at IBM, specializing in systems architecture, requirements analysis, and application development. Known for his structured thinking and long-term approach, he now applies the same principles to the restoration of classic mahogany boats: a practical hobby based on patience, craftsmanship and engineering logic.

Seniors with 60+ years of life experience who are community leaders, intellectuals, artists, storytellers, and want to share their experience over dinners for a small group each time. Every Wednesday there is dinner hosted by a different Silver (senior host) who will open their front door, welcome a group of 5-8 people into their home, and share their stories, knowledge, and connections across the table over a themed evening. Each host chooses their own theme and it is the aim to pass on their hard-earned knowledge.

Our April book is "The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine Aron. Join us for exploring the fascinating trait of high sensitivity, in Dr. Aron's pioneering book! Researchers believe approximately 20% of the human population has this trait that affects every dimension of a person's life, including mental and physical health, relationships, and more. Curious if you are highly sensitive? Dr. Aron's Self-Test Questionnaire is available on her website. [Are You Highly Sensitive?](https://hsperson.com/test/highly-sensitive-test/) Also, there's recently been a documentary on the topic of high sensitivity, where Dr. Aron discusses the trait. Here is a trailer. The full movie is available for free on YouTube. [Sensitive: The Untold Story](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXlOyGuvfVE) We'll start the meeting with each person sharing their name and one thing they found interesting or helpful about the book, then have open discussion. Here is the Amazon description of the book: "ARE YOU A HIGHLY SENSITIVE PERSON? Do you have a keen imagination and vivid dreams? Is time alone each day as essential to you as food and water? Are you noted for your empathy? Your conscientiousness? Do noise and confusion quickly overwhelm you? If your answers are yes, you may be a highly sensitive person (HSP) and Dr. Elaine Aron’s The Highly Sensitive Person is the life-changing guide you’ll want in your toolbox. Over twenty percent of people have this amazing, innate trait. Maybe you are one of them. A similar percentage is found in over 100 species, because high sensitivity is a survival strategy. It is also a way of life for HSPs. In this 25th anniversary edition of the groundbreaking classic, Dr. Elaine Aron, a research and clinical psychologist as well as an HSP herself, helps you grasp the reality of your wonderful trait, understand your past in the light of it, and make the most of it in your future. Drawing on her many years of study and face-to-face time spent with thousands of HSPs, she explains the changes you will need to make in order to lead a fuller, richer life. Along with a new Author’s Note, the latest scientific research, and a fresh discussion of anti-depressants, this edition of The Highly Sensitive Person is more essential than ever for creating the sense of self-worth and empowerment every HSP deserves and our planet needs."

Our May book will be Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Book summary: In a tiny cafe where time travel is possible under strict rules, customers revisit pivotal moments they can't quite change.
