The first gatherings took place on a Monday and a Sunday. Now we meet with the energy of the beginning of the weekend. Each dinner has its own light. What makes these gatherings special is the genuine energy that appears when people who don’t know each other choose to show up and share a moment together. It’s something that happens when we slow down, listen without rushing, and bring something real to the table. ✨ **Event details** 📍 **When:** Saturday 7 – 8:00 PM, Colegiales 🍽 **What’s included:** Intimate home dinner + guided connection dynamics 👥 **Limited spots:** 11 people 💫 **Price:** ARS $12,500 (full dinner experience + guided dynamics) 🥤 **Drinks:** Water and basic beverages will be available.

If: \- Your camera has been collecting dust waiting for the “perfect moment” \- You shoot\, but struggle to find interesting subjects \- You feel shy \- You want to tell stories through images instead of just pressing the shutter \- You’re tired of figuring it all out alone without a supportive community around you Then **this** is your space. ## **What to expect** 🎯 One creative task for the entire walk 🧠 Short, focused briefing before we start 🚶 2 hours of intentional street practice 🖼 Final selection: one frame per participant 📂 Shared post-event online gallery No posing. No forced portraits. No pressure. Just observation, movement, and composition. ## **Who it’s for** 🌱 Beginners who want structure 📸 Photographers who want disciplined practice 🌍 Travelers who see the city as a visual story Any camera works — mirrorless, DSLR, compact, or phone. This isn’t a paid shoot - so there’s no need to carry all your gear. Come light with your favorite setup. We’ll be walking a lot - and extra weight means extra stress! ## **🕹 HOW TO JOIN** Group is limited to 10 participants to keep the experience focused. 🎟 One Episode Pass — **20 USD/ARS 20.000** Send a message to reserve your spot. No random drop-ins — we keep the space intentional. 📷 **SEE. FRAME. WALK. REPEAT.** Loop Frames isn’t about collecting photos. It’s about learning to see differently. If that resonates — join us!

Join us every other Sunday at Parque Las Heras in Palermo for Cultural Crossroads in the Park, a fun and inclusive meetup led by Dr. Zachary McKinley, a cultural researcher from the USA. Kicking off at 3:00 pm with 30 minutes of casual networking, this gathering invites you to grab a coffee or mate beforehand and connect with fellow participants. At 3:30, Dr. McKinley will guide a 1.5-hour collaborative group discussion exploring cultural dimensions and their profound influence on thoughts, behaviors, perceptions, and communication styles across borders. Whether you're a local, an expat, or just curious about the richness of cultural diversity, this event is your opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and broaden your understanding of the world. All are welcome; however, **the conversation will be entirely in English**, as the host does not speak fluent Spanish. Note: To stay safe and hydrated, please bring bug spray, sunscreen/hat, and something to drink (such as mate/coffee/tea/etc.). A blanket to sit on is recommended but not required. Message me on WhatsApp if you need help finding the exact spot: +1 (202) 596-9076

## Hey Columbus WIP peeps! ## Are you ready for an event that actually gives you what you asked for?? **\-\-\-\-\-\-** **A Small-group coaching conversations for women in product navigating growth, leadership, and career decisions.** **March 10 \| 5:30–8:00 PM** **Rev1 -- NEW SPACE** **330 Rush Alley #100** **Parking Options:** • **Rev1 at The Peninsula** • **Starling St. Garage South** – 377 W. Capital St. • **LAZ Parking (COSI)** – 50 Belle St. • **LAZ Parking Limited** – 375 W. State St. • **Veterans Memorial Lot** – 300 W. Broad St. • **Metered Street Parking** **What moves are you making?** A promotion you’re working toward. A role change you’re considering. A bigger leadership opportunity. A conversation that needs to happen. A decision that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. For our Q1 Women in Product Columbus event, we’re creating space to actually work through those moments. **Making Moves** is an evening of focused, facilitated coaching conversations with experienced mentors from our local product community. This isn’t a panel. It’s not passive networking. It’s small-group dialogue designed to be thoughtful, practical, and worth your time. Here’s how it will work: • You’ll choose a topic that reflects what you’re navigating right now • You’ll join a small coaching circle (5–7 participants) • Each circle is led by a mentor who has lived experience in that area • We’ll run two rounds so you can go deeper or explore a second conversation ### Coaching Topics: • Communicating the Value of Your Work (or Team) • Career Transitions & What’s Next • Growing Into Leadership • Staying Relevant as Technology (and AI) Changes • Getting Alignment and Decisions from Leadership Our goal is simple: you leave with clearer thinking, practical perspective, and at least one next step you feel confident about. Space in each circle will be limited to keep conversations meaningful. If this sounds like the kind of room you’ve been wanting to be in, we’d love to see you on March 10. RSVP here!
