King's Day run in St. Magleby
Special Monday evening run. Your HR (Hare Raiser) has been creative.
Dutch King's Day and running in the "farmer's Village". We encourage you to wear orange attire or a local custome (folkedragt). You have missed the Fastelavn / Throvetide, but we have a surprise for you and this is an opportunity to see part of King Christian the 2nd's Dutch village.
There will be a photo stop and a drink stop, so the trail will be approx 8km and short cut 4,5km.
We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”.
How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize.
Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 18:30h.
Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up.
Four-legged friends are welcome!
We never cancel.
See you there!

F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and has landed now in **Copenhagen!** 😎
ㅤ
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in **Copenhagen** every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Valerie, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. 🍭

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.” - *Sonya*
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 "It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

**🤓 FAQ**
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, everyone does!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen, it’s just not the intention!)

UXDX Community: Copenhagen: Scaling Products, Rethinking UX
\#\# 🔐 **Registration**
**IMPORTANT:** This event is free, but please register on the UXDX site so we can confirm numbers and manage access to the venue: [https://uxdx.com/community/community-copenhagen-2026-04-29/](https://uxdx.com/community/community-copenhagen-2026-04-29/)
Join the **Copenhagen UXDX Community** for an evening exploring how teams can scale products more effectively while rethinking the role of UX in a changing landscape. This is a practical meetup for people across **Product, UX, Design,** and **Dev** who want to learn from real examples, challenge assumptions, and connect with others building digital products today.
\*\*\*
\#\# 📅 Agenda
**16:45 to 17:00** \- Registration and networking
**17:00 to 17:15** \- Welcome by UXDX Ambassador
Hosted by Tasha Melchior, VP Product at Everway
**17:15 to 17:45** \- Scaling Product Methodology from Startup to Scaleup\, Anneli Bartholdy
**17:45 to 18:15** \- Networking and snacks
**18:15 to 18:45** \- Will AI Kill UX? Tobias Jensen
**18:45 to 19:00** \- Closing and networking
\*\*\*
\#\# ✨ **Talk 1:** Scaling Product Methodology from Startup to Scaleup
**Anneli Bartholdy,** Head of Product, UBsend
Most companies fail during the scaleup transition. For businesses whose success depends on digital products, the way Product works through discovery, design, development, and launch can make all the difference.
In this talk, Anneli will walk through the key components of working with Product as a company grows, highlighting the questions, decisions, and actions that need to evolve at each phase. Drawing on case stories from European businesses, she will share where teams often get stuck, and what helps them scale more successfully.
She’ll cover:
How product ways of working need to evolve from startup to scaleup
What changes across discovery, design, development, and launch
The common risks that can derail product growth
What successful teams do differently during the transition
\*\*\*
\#\# ✨ **Talk 2:** Will AI Kill UX?
**Tobias Jensen,** UX Design Manager, Visma
AI is changing the craft of design at speed, raising big questions about which skills will remain essential and what the future of UX will actually look like.
In this talk, Tobias will tackle those questions head-on, using real-life examples from Visma e-conomic, Denmark’s largest accounting platform serving more than 270,000 customers. It is an honest look at what is changing, what still matters, and what designers should be thinking about now.
He’ll cover:
Which parts of UX are most under pressure from AI
What skills and practices will continue to matter
How AI is changing the day-to-day reality of design work
What teams can take back into their own organisation
\*\*\*
\#\# About UXDX
UXDX helps teams move from project delivery to empowered, autonomous product teams. We host global conferences and free community events that bring together UX, Product, Design, and Engineering to share how real teams build better products, faster together.

**Cursor In Practice (Deep Dive): From Figma To Working Website - Making Interfaces Actually Behave**
**[Please register on Luma to receive details about the event: https://luma.com/ph7xqr4m](https://luma.com/ph7xqr4m)**
It’s never been easier to generate an interface and still surprisingly hard to make one behave properly. This session sits exactly in that tension. We’ll take a real Figma design and use Cursor to turn it into a working website - not as a demo, but as a hands-on session where you’ll work through it yourself. Where it’s smooth, you’ll feel it. Where it’s messy, you’ll understand why.
## You'll need:
• A laptop (fully charged)
• Cursor installed
• A Cursor account (free/hobby is fine)
• A Figma account (free is fine)
*If you arrive without setup, you won’t get much out of the session.*
## **Light Pre-Work:**
**👉 There will be light pre-work shared ahead of time with everyone registered in Luma - keep an eye on your e-mail closer to the workshop.**

## **About the speaker**
> Justin Waugh (he/him) loves good UX and doesn't like to give in easily. When he's not running front-end & UX workshops, he leads development and design teams as a UX Strategist within the UN or writes about good UX. With over 30 years of hybrid design/developer experience, he's always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and human behaviour. With an MA from Hyper Island under his belt, Justin specializes in user-centric design, effective IT leadership, and innovative UX strategies and has a sharpened sense of how to think about users, systems, and the subtle art of making technology feel human.
> In sessions, Justin brings his trademark mix of practical insight and creative curiosity. Expect an honest look at what makes interfaces work and why they often don’t. His sessions are known for being hands-on, combining design thinking with real-world technical grounding.

No Data Scientists Were Harmed: ML Inference for Regular Game Devs
Viviane and Xavier are visiting from the Unity Montreal office, and they have kindly offered to give a talk about using machine learning inference in Unity games (actually same talk which will also be given internally)
**Xavier Désilets** \- Senior Software Developer\, Unity
**Viviane Rochon Montplaisir** \- Senior Software Developer\, Unity
Are you a game dev who keeps hearing words like "tensors" and "logits" and quietly alt-tabs back to your prefab folder? This session is for you.
In the first half, we'll do a fast, practical ML 101 specifically for game developers. We'll cover what tensors actually are (in human language), quantization, how model graphs work, and what to make of different model formats.
In the second half, we'll focus on the decisions you have to make to ship something: how to pick a model size that won't set your players' fans on fire, what formats and hardware are supported, and how to think about speed vs. quality. We'll walk through real-world input and output pipelines. We'll ground this with currently available Unity Sentis samples.
By the end, you won't be a data scientist, but you will know how to choose, run, and wire up ML models at runtime in Unity without breaking your frame budget or your brain.

Lessons From 10 years of Platform Engineering
**👉Do Not Hesitate To Join the Waitlist — We will try to find room for everyone...👈**
**This event is a memorial gathering, a wake** to the planned — but now cancelled [DevOpsDays Copenhagen 2026](https://www.devopsdays.dk/events/drink-up-2026/).
**The event is free to participate - SEATS ARE LIMITED TO 40!**
**Program (start 17:00 SHARP, arrive and be seated before that!)**
* **Welcome** + 1 minute of silence for the deceased DevOpsDays
* **Lessons from 10 years of Platform Engineering** by Kris Buytaert
* **Table discussions** — "What the heck is going on in the DevOps Community right now?"
* **Summary** on table discussions
* **Outro** — The current status of the transformed Danish DevOpsDays Association and a glimpse into what the future will bring
It ends at the "Workbar" no later than **19:00** but if we're still a decent crowd we will continue onward for a burger or a pizza.
**Keynote:** [Kris Buytaert](https://www.devopsdays.dk/profiles/kris-buytaert/) is flying in from Belgium to deliver his planned Keynote [Lessons From 10 years of Platform Engineering ](https://www.devopsdays.dk/talks/lessons-from-10-years-of-platform-engineering/)
**Post Mortem:** We had to cancel the planned two-day DevOpsDays conference, simply due to lack of interest from audience. This is the canary in coal mine; DevOps(Days) choked. Let's do a post mortem. Platform Engineering is the new DevOps — so we're told. *"No — that's Ops, not DevOps".* Where did all the *"You Build It You Run It"* hype go? We will kick off discussions on this topic at the tables - while you sip your funeral beer.
**Phoenix rising:** — The Danish DevOpsDays Association has a new charter, new bylaws, a new purpose. We, the organizers, will lay out our plans for the future and encourage you to join.
**Context:** [DevOps is Broken](https://www.devopsdays.dk/stories/devops-is-broken/)
MF#K: An introduction to Martin-Löf's meaning explanations
*Talk by Abraham W.*
Martin-Löf's meaning explanations provide an approach to understand mathematical statements as statements about functional computer programs. Furthermore, meaning explanations can be used to justify the inference rules of intuitionistic type theory.
*As usual, there's mingling at the local bar after the talk.*
