Ai & Dinner - Luxembourg’s AI Minds Turn AI Conversations Into Real Connections
## AI & Dinner - In-person gathering in Luxembourg
Hey there! Join us for another **in-person evening** in Luxembourg where AI enthusiasts come together to chat, share ideas, and enjoy great food.
Whether you're a pro or just curious about artificial intelligence, this is the perfect chance to connect and exchange with like-minded people.
Our next dinner will take place on **Tuesday, 5th May at 19h00**, at **Chiche! Limpersberg, 20 avenue Pasteur, 2310 Limpertsberg**. *(Private Big Tables reserved)*
See you there!
**AI & Dinner** is the seated, more intimate format of the AI & Coffee community — designed for deeper conversations and real connection around the table. This will be a dinner where we all sit together and **switch places at during the middle of the event**, so everyone gets the chance to meet the full table, connect, and discover new stories.
To preserve a great group dynamic, this gathering is **limited to 30 people**.
You’re welcome to bring friends if you’d like. The goal is simple: enjoy dinner together, exchange ideas, value, updates about AI, and meet the people behind this growing community. After our AI & Coffee meetups and previous dinners, many meaningful connections have already formed — and this format is where they really deepen.
🍽️ **We’ll gather for conversations about:**
• AI news, trends, tools, and real use cases
• Personal projects, ideas, and feedback
• Supporting each other’s personal or entrepreneurial journeys
• Strengthening Luxembourg’s AI community
👥 **Who’s welcome?**
Developers, entrepreneurs, investors, students, researchers, creatives — and anyone curious about AI who enjoys thoughtful conversation and meeting new people.
💡 **What to expect**
• A friendly, open dinner atmosphere
• Circulating seats throughout the courses
• Great conversations, new perspectives, and genuine connections
• No pressure, no presentations — just good people and meaningful exchange
**🎉 The only cost is your dinner.**
Bring your curiosity, your appetite, and your good energy — and join us for an evening of conversation and connection.
Umweltauswirkungen von Software "at scale" erfassen
Der König ist tot, es lebe der König. So könnte man das neue Projekt der **Green Software Foundation** umschreiben.
Nach Jahren der Entwicklung bei *Amadeus* (führender Anbieter von IT-Lösungen für die Tourismusbranche) wurde das Projekt in Teilen open sourced und der GSF übergeben.
Ziel von **Carmen** (Carbon Measurement Engine) ist es alle Emissionen über eine Vielzahl von Anwendungen zu erfassen. Somit tritt es faktisch die Nachfolge von „*Cloud Carbon Footprint*“ an und nutzt auch dessen Kennzahlen. Im Kern setzt Carmen auf das Impact Framework auf und bringt es in die reale Anwendung.
Zu Gast haben wir **Florent Morel**, der Kopf hinter Carmen. Er wird uns mit einem Deep Dive in das Tooling einführen und zeigt uns, wie wir Carmen konkret einsetzen können.
Hinweis: Der Talk ist auf Englisch

Not Hike - PMJ Concert
Hello All,
Post Modern Jukebox is coming again to Luxembourg!
I bought my ticket well in advance as always. I thought maybe wants to join me.
PMJ is less a band but more a project consisting of many gifted artists. They take songs not older than 80s and redo them in a 20s, 30s or 40s style. Sometimes it is difficult to recognise the original. Nevertheless all songs are great.
Tickets: https://rockhal.lu/shows/scott-bradlees-postmodern-jukebox-2/
Songs:
https://youtu.be/m3lF2qEA2cw?is=ET0ZHvutmC-1K8J3
https://youtu.be/N26_hRITlsU?is=mBC1vlQlrF1w2NDl
https://youtu.be/YsUB6Jia4v4?is=bywpwaMOo3GUzdmE
and many more!
Let's see how many will join me. I will post where I will stand. We can also organise ourselves where to meet. Maybe in the train as I will certainly go by train.
Basically anyone with a ticket can join.
Hope to see you

Kant’s Cave: Home: A philosophy of personal space - Mel Thompson
ATTEND IN PERSON OR ON ZOOM (link upon registration)
NB **This event will now take place at a different venue: the Café of [St. Hilda's East Community Centre](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5244243,-0.0746385,17z?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D), 18 Club Row, London E2 7EY. The nearest station (just a few minutes walk) is [Shoreditch High Street](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Shoreditch+High+Street/@51.5237626,-0.0741518,16.75z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x48761cb7237e45d3:0x832e68d6f5c3b9b0!8m2!3d51.5232573!4d-0.0754661!16s%2Fg%2F1hhvv83t7?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkwNC4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) (Overground). Apologies for any inconvenience.**
This event takes place on Tuesday as Monday is a public holiday in the UK
This talk will focus on a single question: ‘Where do you belong?’
The idea of ‘home’ reflects one of the deepest and most universal of human experiences. ‘Homes’ may be physical, emotional, intellectual or cultural – they reflect aspects of life with which we identify, where we feel comfortable (or challenged) and where we belong. They are a defiant response to our awareness of the vastness of space.
From Diogenes and Buddha to Nietzsche and Heidegger, we’ll be looking at the experience of belonging, and exploring ways in which it shapes our thinking about the nature of self, ethics and politics.
Over the last 50 years, **Mel Thompson** has written more than 40 books on philosophy and religion and is probably best known for the philosophy titles in the long-running ‘Teach Yourself’ series. His website is at [essexthinker.com](http://essexthinker.com/).

– Real-life situations and examples
– Simple tools to gain clarity
Details:

If you’re curious, questioning, or exploring your next step—this is for you.

Feel & Grow Club — Stepping Back & Seeing Clearly
This week, we’ll explore something subtle but powerful — the ability to step back and observe.
To notice what’s happening, without immediately reacting.
To see ourselves, our thoughts, and situations from a bit more distance.
What changes when we do that?
Does it create more space, more clarity?
This is not about doing it “right” — just a space to reflect, share, or listen.
You can come if you:
• want to meet new people
• feel like talking (or just listening)
• enjoy meaningful but relaxed conversations
• are curious to explore something new
We’ll meet, sit together, and start with a simple icebreaker, followed by a question:
“When was the last time you were able to pause and see a situation differently?”
From there, we let the conversation flow naturally.
📍 Location: Casino art gallery library in case of rain ☔️
in case of sun ☀️ we are meeting at the heart of the park at Mikrokosmos
📍 18 Av. Emile Reuter, 2420 Ville-Haute Luxembourg
🕒 Duration: around 1.5–2 hours

Women in AI Luxembourg, first gathering
If you use AI at work, are curious about it, or have been quietly avoiding it, this room is for you.
I wanted to create a space where women can talk about AI together. Somewhere it feels easy to ask questions, share what’s working, and learn from each other without any pressure to already know things.
AI has become a big part of how I work and think, and I love talking about it. Expect me to share generously, whether you’re just starting out or already building with it.
No expertise required, no demos, no pitches.
Just women talking honestly about how we use AI, where we feel stuck, what we want to learn, and how we can open doors for each other in this space.
Whether you opened ChatGPT once and closed it, or you’re already building with it at work, you belong here.
The format:
• Light intros, one prompt each
• Open conversation around a few questions
• Time to actually meet each other
Wednesday 6 May, 7pm
Konrad Café & Bar, 7 Rue du Nord, Ville-Haute
Conversation in English.
Order what you’d like at the bar. RSVP to save your spot.
Meaningful Afterwork
Ready for a different kind of afterwork? Want to get buzzed with inspiration?
**Join our Meaningful Afterwork!**
A relaxed and uplifting space for meaningful conversations inspired by the Bahá’í Writings.
Together, we explore deep questions about life, purpose, and the world around us, connecting spiritual insights with the realities of everyday living and the challenges of society.
An open, co-created, and collaborative space for reflection, discussion, and consultation, where everyone is welcome to be a protagonist, share, listen, and think together.
And because meaningful connection also happens around the table, this is also a potluck-style gathering: feel free to bring something to share! Food for the soul… and for the body ;)
Come as you are. Bring your openness and curiosity, meet new people and recharge your spirit!
The Details:
* 📅 **Date:** Thursday, 7th May
* ⏰ **Time:** 6:30pm

CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
Practical AI for Power BI Developers
A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective.
This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly.
Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

* Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too.
Round 3:
* Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool.
After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!
