!ENGLISH! MONDAY DOUBLE SESSION / CAFE - Philosophy Meetup: 19:30h - 21h
Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup!
Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue?
If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you.
• WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT?
We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts.
The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives.
Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others.
A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning.
• WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP?
Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view.
Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups:
* What ideals are worth dying for?
* Why are we never satisfied?
* Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is?
* Is identity necessary?
* How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others)
* What is friendship?
• WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP?
Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory.
Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue.
The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

Charla sobre Constelaciones Familiares (Evento Online - Gratuito)
Favor confirmar através del WhatsApp +351914149287
Tema:
Las Constelaciones Familiares son una técnica de la medicina holística creada por Bert Hellinger y que nos permite mirar desde otra perspectiva nuestra vida presente. En ellas se da un nuevo espacio a acontecimientos pasados, comprendiendo todo lo vivido y de ese modo se ubican las emociones en otro lugar más sano, en el lugar correcto, liberándonos de cualquier lastre del pasado que pudiéramos tener.
La terapia con Constelaciones Familiares revela que muchos de nuestros sentimientos, comportamientos y síntomas no están en realidad vinculados a nuestra propia historia personal, sino que tienen su origen en una lealtad familiar inconsciente que pretende que cada generación reanude los conflictos no regulados de las generaciones anteriores.
Las Constelaciones Familiares permiten poner luz sobre estos conflictos y repararlos para liberar a los que los llevan y a sus futuras generaciones.
Gratuito/Colaboración voluntária
Constelar un tema: 45,00 Euros

**18:30: Welcome**
Grab a drink, and a seat until everybody arrives!
**18:45 Intro by Host Neciu Dan**
**19:00 Kibble: Designing Hybrid Components for Native and Web**
Speaker: [Traian Stanciu](https://www.linkedin.com/in/traian-stanciu/) Senior Software Engineer at Rover.com
Building a component library that runs on web, React Native, iOS, and Android without diverging into chaos is harder than it sounds. This talk digs into how Kibble—Rover's design system—handles the gap between platforms through a file-naming convention (`.tsx` / `.native.tsx` / `.common.ts`), a unified event abstraction that bridges web click and native press events, and a token pipeline that generates Swift, XML, CSS, and TypeScript from a single source of truth
**19:25 React Native in a Native App: Brownfield Integration & Over-The-Air Deployments**
Speaker: [Luca Barone](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucabarone95/) Mobile Engineer at Rover.com
A practical look at how Rover.com ships React Native screens inside fully native iOS and Android apps — without rewriting them from scratch. We'll cover the "brownfield" integration pattern, how JS and native code communicate through bridge modules, and how we deploy JavaScript updates to users in minutes using Expo EAS Update, completely bypassing the App Store review cycle.

In this local meeting, you will discover knowledge that you can use to get over the past.
The key to improving your personal motivation, self-confidence, and happiness is to get over your painful memories.
When you become free of your past, you will be free from stress, anger, anxiety and depression. Studies show that negative emotions can affect your health. By being free of negative emotions, believe it or not, you will most likely even look younger, feel more energetic, and become healthier!

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
