Professional Development

Do you ever feel like work has become a source of stress, frustration or confusion? Maybe you're: • feeling stuck in your current role • thinking about a change • struggling with motivation • dealing with a difficult situation at work • simply wondering, "What's next?" This is a relaxed and informal group conversation where we can share experiences, reflect together and gain new perspectives. You don't need to have everything figured out. You don't need to be in crisis. You just need to be curious about your next step. What to expect: • A friendly and supportive atmosphere. • Honest conversations. • Practical reflections and fresh perspectives. • No judgement and no pressure to share. This free event is open to anyone who feels a bit stuck and would like to connect with others facing similar challenges. I look forward to meeting you! — Linda Burchi

**Meet-up #4 is hands-on.** Instead of watching a demo from the outside, we're going to build something together. We'll be working with Claude Skills, a feature inside Claude that lets you teach Claude how to do things your way, once, and have it remember. Think of it as automating a small part of how you work, without any coding. I'll show you an example of a skill I built. Then we build one together, from scratch, in the room. The learning curve is genuinely small. And if you've never touched this before, that's exactly the point, this meet-up is for you. If you already use Claude Skills regularly, come anyway. There's something different about working through it with other women who are figuring out the same things. What you need to bring: your laptop, and a Claude account (free works perfectly). Then we'll open it up, as always. What are you automating? What's not working? What do you wish Claude could just... know about you already? Friday\, June 12 \| 7:00 PM House of Startups\, Luxembourg

Do you sometimes feel confused, overwhelmed, or unsure about your direction? You may have complex thoughts or emotions, but not necessarily feel the need for therapy. At the same time, small talk may feel too superficial, and sharing everything with friends is not always easy. Sometimes, you simply want a thoughtful conversation with someone who listens carefully. :) In this 1:1 meeting, we take one hour to reflect on what is currently on your mind: relationships, life decisions, career questions, emotional situations or simply whatever feels important to you. The aim is to help you gain more clarity, discover new perspectives, or simply feel less alone. All conversations are confidential. Pilot phase contribution: 60 min → 25€ (incl. one drink) +20€ per additional 30 min Languages: English, Deutsch or 普通话 Time: slots available in April & May (after work or weekends） Location: café or comfortable place of your choice We decide together via private message. If this resonates with you, feel free to message me. :)

Join a relaxed women's Pilates session in the park 🧘‍♀️🌳 A free, community-led session focused on strength, stretching, and wellbeing - suitable for all levels✨ 10:30 by the ‚Bonne Nouvelle' * finished a teacher course and currently working towards my Pilates certification

In a world that constantly pulls our attention outward, this gathering is an invitation to come back to yourself. No complicated techniques. No pressure to perform. No expectation to share. Just simple practices that help us reconnect with what is already here: our breath, our body, our awareness, and the present moment. Together, we will spend about an hour exploring a few basic mindfulness and nervous system regulation practices, including: • Gentle grounding and awareness exercises • Conscious breathing and slower exhalation • Walking meditation in the park • Simple body awareness and presence practices • Space to slow down and reconnect with yourself Depending on the weather, the session may include a combination of sitting meditation and walking meditation, or mostly walking meditation. The intention is not to achieve anything. It is simply an opportunity to pause, breathe, and experience being fully present in your own body. Schedule 10:45 – Meet at Glacis Square (between the Théâtre tram stop and the public toilets) 11:00 – Mindfulness practice in the park Approximately 12:00 – Optional coffee, brunch, or relaxed conversation for anyone who would like to stay The practice itself will last around one hour. The social time afterwards is completely optional. Practical Information • Please wear comfortable clothes suitable for the weather • The event will take place even if the weather is not perfect • I will bring something to sit on, but feel free to bring your own cushion, mat, or blanket if you prefer This gathering is part of Feel & Grow Club Luxembourg and is open to anyone curious about slowing down, grounding themselves, and practicing presence in a simple and accessible way. Nothing special to achieve. Nothing to fix. Just a chance to be here, together.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
