✨ The Offline Society: Spring Edition - офлайн вечер на истинско свързване
✨ Ела на вечер, в която изключваме телефоните и се включваме в реалността.
❗️Още на входа ги прибираме на сигурно място - за да ти подарим качествено време тук и сега. Очакват те три часа спокойствие и смислена споделеност - без дигитален шум, без бързане, без екрани.
🌿 Програмата:
✨Регистрация: 20:00 - 20:20 (Пристигащите оставят телефоните си на сигурно място под наш надзор, регистрират се и се потапят в офлайн атмосферата)
✨Уединение: 20:20 - 21:10 Време само за теб. Без разговори, без уведомления - само тишина и присъствие. Можеш да си вземеш книга, дневник, скицник или нещо, което все отлагаш за „когато имаш време“. Ще има и подготвени материали, които да вдъхновят уединението ти.
✨Споделеност: 21:10 – 22:40 Истински разговори с истински хора. В малки групи, с подбрани въпроси, които отключват автентични диалози - без маски, без напрежение. Просто човешко присъствие и смислено общуване.
✨Свобода: 22:40 – 23:30 Оставаш колкото ти е приятно. Можеш да продължиш разговорите, да споделиш впечатления, да обмениш контакти (на хартия 😉) или просто да се насладиш на спокойствието.

Meet-up vol. 10 | Continuous Product Discovery & Targeted User Research
* **About the event:**
**Continuous Product Discovery & Targeted User Research**
Building successful products requires talking to your users, but *how* and *when* you talk to them makes all the difference.
Continuous discovery is your 15-minute product "health check." It does not replace proper feature-based user research, it complements it.
Join us for a practical meetup where we will break down exactly when to use continuous discovery versus targeted user research, and how the two approaches work together to drive product strategy. We will share actionable frameworks for catching high-level UX feedback, validating direction, and knowing exactly when to transition into deep, area-specific research.
**What We’ll Cover:**
* **The Core Framework:** Understand the difference between a 15-minute continuous discovery session (a high-level health check) and targeted, feature-based research. Learn when to use which approach and how to prevent your discovery calls from turning into support tickets or therapy sessions.
* **Smart Recruitment & Triage:** Stop relying on the loudest customers. Learn how to use Amplitude data, Account Managers, and Community channels to reach your *core* users. We will show you how to use discovery sessions to build a repository of "awesome users" triaged for later, deep-dive research.
* **Interviewing Best Practices:** We will share real-life anecdotes on how to ask situational questions rather than leading questions like "would you use this feature?"
* **Scaling with Automation & AI:** Learn how to automate your feedback sessions and leverage AI to synthesize notes, spot 80/20 pain points, and write up interview patterns.
**Who Should Attend:** Product Managers, UX Researchers, Product Marketers, and Designers who want to optimize their user feedback loops.
* **About the speakers:**

Hike Blacklick Woods and The Canopy. Optional lunch after.
**Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in!**
**We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind.**
**If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward at Prost Beer and Wine Cafe. Www.prostcafe.com**
