CopenhagenR spring get-together - Now on Thursday!
Welcome to this CopenhagenR spring get-together, which will be half a relaxed presentation on useful but unorthodox applications of R, and half an opportunity to connect and chat with fellow R users over coffee and cake, or a beer!
**When?**
Thursday, 12 March 2026
* **17:30** – Doors open
* **18:00** – *Useful applications of R*, presentation by R.M., begins
* **18:30** – Connect and chat with fellow R users. There will be coffee, beer, cake, and snacks
* **20:00** – No more cake
**Where?**
PROSA København, room PASCAL
Vester Farimagsgade 37A
1606 København
**What?**
Join us for a CopenhagenR meetup, whether you're new to R or a seasoned pro! This CopenhagenR spring get-together includes a presentation on *Useful applications of R* by **R.M.**
**Presentation: Useful applications of R**
With R jobs being so difficult to obtain and so poorly compensated, I mostly apply R to the much more useful pursuit of making my life pleasant and easy. I present some short, practical uses of R, such as studying patterns in neti pot usage so I can breathe more easily, understanding my employer-provided private health insurance plan so I can figure out how much of a scam it is, and correcting predictably erroneous payslips so I can pay my taxes.
Authentic You Me Slow Friending | Meet new people | No Small Talk [30+yo]
**Tired of small talk? Come meet new people meaningfully - the Authentic You Me way!**
**\*\*\*Looking to grow your social circle? Join us for a welcoming, carefully crafted and thoughtfully facilitated experience of meaningful conversations that go beyond the small talk.\*\*\***
No business cards or job titles.
No small talk.
No pressure to perform.
No intimidating crowds.
\-\-\-
If you have answered yes to two or more of the above, then you have come to the right place.
**Welcome to Authentic You Me**
We often hear how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult and particularly when moving abroad; or when rebuilding social circles cos old friends have moved away or onto new life phases.
Socialising attempts often mean standing in a crowded room, wearing a polite smile, and answering the same three questions: *"What do you do?" "Where are you from?" "How long have you been here?"* Great for breaking the ice, but rarely leading to something inspiring or meaningful. It’s exhausting. It feels like a performance.
While the absence of authentic connection and meaningful conversations can sometimes leave us feeling a little lonely or like we don't belong.
**Authentic You Me** *was born with a desire to change that.*
\-\-\-
\*\*\*𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗠𝗲, the home of mindful, intentional socials we baptised as 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 - our own thoughtful, refreshing and carefully crafted way of changing how we meet and connect with others.

Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
How to Move on From the Past and Feel Happy
