Critical Design

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All. ✨** Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in 25+ countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CRqdyO6p6lZDIN2qVRIlWX) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/?hl=en) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈

Why do some stories stay with us, while others fall flat? Often, it is because we tell them from the outside in. We describe what happened, but lose the deeper transformation that makes people care. On Wednesday, June 10, at 18:00, we are hosting an interactive storytelling workshop at Kulturstationen Vanløse with Andreas Møgelhøj, Ph.D. Andreas has strong contest experience in both Evaluation and Table Topics, including repeated District Champion! In this 2-hour, hands-on workshop, we will move beyond storytelling theory and actively build the narrative spine of our own stories. You will work on: ✨ Finding your “Plot B” — the inner journey behind the outer events ✨ Identifying your “5-second moment” — the exact point of change ✨ Extracting “the gift” — the message your audience will remember ✨ Turning a rough idea into a story arc through fast writing sprints Important for everyone attending: 👉 Please come prepared with a story you want to work on. It does not need to be polished. It can be a rough idea, a personal experience, a draft speech, or a project you want to improve. The key is that you bring something specific, because we will be working directly on your own stories throughout the workshop. The goal is simple: that everyone leaves with a solid foundation for delivering a powerful “story speech” in the future. Bring your laptop, bring your story, and come ready to write. The world doesn’t care if you fail. It cares if you change. 🙋 Stop talking. Start writing. Show up. Bring your Story. 🗓️ Wednesday, June 10, at 18:00 📍 Kulturstationen Vanløse \-\-\- Speak to Lead Toastmasters helps people to improve their public speaking and leadership skills in a supportive and fun environment. No matter what your age, background, and level of confidence are, it is a place for you. If you are scared as hell of public speaking, then you should definitely come!

Work is evolving. But are our organizations evolving with it? This event is the starting point of a series of interactive sessions exploring how work, management, and culture are changing, and what that means in practice. **Join us to explore:** * Emerging workplace trends * Different perspectives on leadership and work culture * Real-life experiences, challenges, and experiments *** **What to expect** * Interactive discussions (not lectures) * A structured debate on key workplace trends * Practical examples from organizations experimenting with new ways of working * Small group conversations to exchange perspectives *** **What you’ll leave with** * New perspectives on the future of work * Concrete ideas to reflect on or try in your own context * Connections with people exploring similar questions *** This session is inspired by insights from Corporate Rebels and other practitioners, but it’s not about promoting one single model. Instead, we aim to create a space for open, constructive discussion on what actually works, what doesn’t, and what might come next. *** **Hosted by** SimCorp has graciously offered to host our first event. Many thanks to Pawel and the team! *** **Want to contribute?** This is just the beginning. If you’d like to help shape future sessions or suggest topics, feel free to reach out. ***

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.

**Regenerative software may just be the most purposeful rabbit hole you could dive into RIGHT NOW and we want to explore it together.** **— Where do we see potential for regenerative software?** "Mind over Machine", the new Think-tank and Laboratory for regenerative software is now formally established, and we will run a first round of ideation with the community. **The purpose is simple**: Generate ideas that can form the foundation of the first projects to run in the laboratory: A survey, an Open Source tool, an article, a podcast, a tutorial, a model ...anything goes really! Maybe you are a student and need a purposeful topic to base your master-thesis or internship on. Or maybe you just dream of joining forces with others around ideas you have, that would make the world a better place - **this is it!** **Mind Over Machine** **We will collectively generate, challenge and shape the initial ideas that could define MoM. Expect slightly half-baked thoughts and enthusiastic disagreement.** Join our Open Space style meeting for generation of initial ideas. The program will play out roughly as follows: * Brainstorm ideas, record them in an online backlog * From stage, briefly pitch each idea in the backlog * Upvote the ones that you believe in and would like to contribute to * Similar to Open Space Discussions, we will organize in parallel groups in short time slots and each group will discuss and record project details and perspectives to the ideas * If possible we will organize in work groups around the most vivid ideas and launch projects. **Prior to the event (optional):** You are welcome to take a jump start and present some of your ideas, even prior to the event. The following is a short description on the infrastructure and process we will use. 1. Create an [account on GitHub](https://github.com/signup) if you haven't already. 2. We will be working in the [GitHub Discussions (Ideas category)](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/categories/ideas) in our @mindovermachine-dev organization. 3. You will see that there are already a few ideas drafted out. 4. CONTINUE! Add your own ideas. If someone else already wrote an idea you like, vote it up, comment on it, supplement it with your own perspective. 5. Consider reading the [Guideline for suggesting ideas](https://github.com/orgs/mindovermachine-dev/discussions/3) first **See you there 🌱**

​**Preparing people for a change that has no finish line.** ​Most organisations today have a plan for implementing AI. Far fewer have a plan for supporting the people navigating it. The uncertainty is real. The fear of becoming irrelevant. The sense of loss for how work used to feel. The paralysis of not knowing what comes next. Unlike previous transformations, this shift has no clear end state – no “freeze phase,” no finish line. Traditional change management frameworks were not designed for continuous, evolving disruption. ​This first **Human AI Circle** gathering at BLOXHUB creates space for a more honest conversation. It brings together change leaders, HR professionals, and AI implementation leads to explore what truly helps people move through uncertainty. Meet the panel: * **Sofie Henriksen**, Director, Head of AI Adoption, Todai: Guiding organisations through AI adoption, where it works and where it falls apart * **Ioanna Constantiou**, Professor, CBS: Researching why uncertainty, resistance and misalignment in AI transformation are not edge cases, but the norm * **Elena Constantini**, transformational COO, former Group SVP at the Adecco Group: 20 years leading large-scale transformations with commercial in discipline but human by design **What's on the agenda:** \- What earlier work transformations teach us about leading people through the unknown and where those models break down with AI \- Panel: Managing fear\, grief and paralysis in the age of AI\, learnings from real change initiatives \- Simulation with **Sara Høyer Kragelund** from Involved: Walk through how your way of working will change as AI evolves from tool to agent to operating system and leave with a personal backpack of mindsets and approaches to navigate what's coming Food included. Limited seats, attendance is by application.

🎉 Copenhagen Global AI Meetup –June 11 🕔 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM Join us for an evening of inspiration, expert talks, good conversations, and networking with fellow AI enthusiasts, builders, and practitioners. This time, we will explore how AI is moving closer to the user, from data centers and cloud-native applications to local devices, browsers, and the modern web. We will also hear a real-world story about the challenges of moving an AI application from PoC to production. **🙌 Sponsor** ✨ Special thanks to **Nykredit** for sponsoring this event and supporting our growing AI community. 📍 **Seats are limited, register now to secure your spot!** **🗓️ Agenda:** * 17:00 Walk-in * 17:30 Welcome by the team * 17:45 **Agentic Memory - Kenneth Christiansen** * 18:30 Break & Food * 19:00 **From Idea to Impact: Building AI That Works** **\- Tommy Bell** * 19:30 Networking * 20:00 Goodbye **💡 Talks** **1️⃣ Agentic Memory** This presentation examines how so-called "memory" in LLM agents is actually engineered from prompt construction, context management, external storage, and tool-mediated state rather than emerging as a native property of the model itself. Starting from the basic fact that an LLM ultimately consumes one serialized token stream, the talk explains why modern systems represent conversations as structured role-based messages, how chat templates and Jinja rendering turn those records into model-specific prompts, and how short-term continuity is created by replaying prior context. From there, it expands into practical memory design: prompt pruning, ephemeral context blocks, semantic memory, retrieval strategies, episodic logs, and procedural patterns that let agents act coherently over time without overwhelming the context window. The second half grounds these ideas in a real local-first AI system: a web extension connected to a native C++ WebSocket server that routes inference across OVMS, OpenVINO GenAI, llama.cpp, and Google LiteRT. The presentation shows how the project implements immutable exchange logs, centralized sliding-window assembly, ephemeral runtime payloads, MCP app context, tool-first memory operations, and task/document workflows. The goal is to move beyond vague claims about agent memory and present a concrete architectural blueprint for building autonomous agents whose behavior is traceable, debuggable, and robust. **2️⃣ From Idea to Impact: Building AI That Works** A brief overview of AI Engineering its history, background, and purpose. This is followed by a short walkthrough of one of our solutions, Adverse Media Search, including how we went from proof of concept (PoC) to production, what the solution is, and why we chose to build our own instead of using one of the commercial alternatives. **🙌 Sponsor** ✨ Special thanks to **Nykredit** for sponsoring this event and supporting our growing AI community. 📍 **Seats are limited, register now to secure your spot!** **👤 About the Speakers** **Kenneth Christiansen, Principal Engineer, Web Platform Engineering @Intel** Kenneth Rohde Christiansen is a Danish software engineer and architect specializing in web, mobile, and AI technologies.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.

## 🤝 Host Information A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus 💡 About the Workshop AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge. This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow. Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required. 🛠️ What to Bring Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go. AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!) 🍕 Logistics & Perks Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
