ZĂŒrich Poolside Chats : UX · Product · Research
### **Poolside Chats: Design, Research, Engineering & UX**
Join us for a relaxed summer gathering at one of Zurichâs local Badis.
This is a casual community meetup for designers, researchers developers, product managers, and other curious builders who enjoy thoughtful conversations, sharing ideas, and spending time outdoors.
Weâll gather by the pool to discuss topics such as:
* Passion projects
* Design, technology, and product thinking
* Ethical and responsible uses of AI
* Creativity, learning, and experimentation
* Personal philosophies and ways of working
* Interesting questions about the future
The format is intentionally informal. Feel free to join a conversation, listen, ask questions, or share something youâve been exploring.
Need a break? Take a swim, cool off, and come back with a fresh perspective or a new idea to discuss.
This is not a recruiting event, job fair, or transactional networking meetup. While meaningful professional relationships may naturally develop over time, the purpose of the gathering is not to find clients, hire employees, or look for your next job. Instead, the goal is to create a welcoming space for genuine conversation, intellectual curiosity, and human connection.
Bring your curiosity, a towel, and whatever ideas have been occupying your mind lately.
\*Come to exchange ideas, not business cards.\*
pan.talk â Wie die KI jassen lernt
**Und was Unternehmen daraus ĂŒber Sichtbarkeit, Kontrolle und Vertrauen in der KI-Welt lernen.**
«Stöck, Wyys, Stich.» In der Schweiz weiss jeder sofort, was gespielt wird. Die grossen KI-Modelle kennen unser Kulturgut jedoch nur oberflĂ€chlich. Wo das Trainingsmaterial dĂŒnn ist, erfinden sie die Regeln mit voller Ăberzeugung.
Dasselbe Problem hat fast jede Firma mit ihrem internen Fach- und Produktwissen. Remo Prinz zeigt, wie man durch strukturierte Daten Teil des KI-Training Korpus wird, verlĂ€sslich zitiert wird und dieses Fundament ĂŒber ein autorisiertes Model Context Protocol (MCP) zu einer kontrollierten, vertrauenswĂŒrdigen Live-Quelle ausbaut. Ist es ausserdem möglich, ein Modell zu trainieren, das nicht nur perfekt jasst, sondern als geduldiger Mentor jeden Zug erklĂ€ren kann?
Ein Abend ĂŒber Tradition, strukturierte Daten â und die Frage, wie Organisationen in der KI-Welt zur Quelle werden, der die Maschinen vertrauen.

Design by Instinct. Then Prove It with Data.
**If your design feels right, how do you prove that it works?**
Creatives are taught to trust their instincts, and rightly so. But intuition alone can leave your best work undefended in the room, and it cannot tell you whether a design actually changed anything. What looks better in a critique still needs to prove that it creates value in the real world.
So, the real challenge is knowing what works, not just what looks good.
In this keynote, **Mario Stipetic**, product designer, engineer, and product manager based in ZĂŒrich, introduces data-driven design as a practical way to use evidence without killing creativity.
With over 14 years of experience designing and building SaaS web and mobile products end to end, including as Head of Product Design at a US-based fintech, Mario works at the intersection of design, product, and engineering.
Join us on **June 30** as Mario shows, through real before-and-after case studies, how simple data can help teams test ideas, iterate faster, and build products people keep coming back to.
**đĄ What will you learn?**
* Why creativity and data work best together, and how measurement helps you defend your design decisions
* How simple methods like a 1â5 survey, a funnel, or a fake button can give you real proof without a big team or budget
* How to set a clear hypothesis and one metric before you design, then measure before vs after
* How to read what the data is telling you and turn it into sharper copy, visuals, flows, and product decisions

Epic Sunday, Part 1: HADESTOWN at Cinemark Stoneridge!
Last year, we followed up our Anniversary Party film NOBODY with the sequel NOBODY 2! This year, weâre following up one epic Greek tale with another! Weâll see Christopher Nolanâs take on THE ODYSSEY for the group anniversary party on 7/19! And for this event on 7/26 weâll enjoy the stellar Broadway musical, HADESTOWN! Hereâs a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: From Broadway to the Big Screen, this presentation of HADESTOWN is a not theatrical adaptation of a beloved musical but a chance to see the actual musical featuring many of the original cast members from the hit Broadway production, recorded at the Lyric Theatre in London! Set to New Orleans-style jazz, the musical follows Orpheus and Eurydice. Desperate to get his love back, he travels down into Hadestown! The stellar cast features many from the original Broadway production, including Reeve Carney as Orpheus, André De Shields as Hermes, Amber Gray as Persephone, Eva Noblezada as Eurydice and Patrick Page as Hades.
TRAILER: Unsure? Check out this trailer and I think you'll be sold! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Q5TWHslOE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Q5TWHslOE)
MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 1:00pm showing and meet in the lobby area between 12:35 and 12:45pm. Once you have your ticket, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a headâs up, tickets for this show are moving FAST! This theater / time selected because nearly every other theater/showtime this weekend is nearly sold out! Advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised!
DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the show at nearby Cap City Fine Diner! Always a great meal and a fun time! Seating is limited for the dinner portion of the event, so if youâd like to join in for dinner, please be sure to RSVP in BOTH the Movie and Dinner Portions of the event.
Should be a fun one, Dan
