Entrepreneurship

A small in-person breakfast for founders and operators in Zürich to talk about what they are building, running, and figuring out right now. The idea is simple: coffee, breakfast, and one proper conversation with people who are building or running businesses here. This is not a panel, not a pitch event, and not formal networking. No one is presenting. No one is selling from the front of the room. It is just a small group conversation around what people are actually working through right now. We’ll keep the format simple: * quick introductions * what you are working on right now * one shared question for the table * open conversation over coffee and breakfast The group is intentionally small so everyone can actually speak and get to know each other. Everyone pays for their own coffee/breakfast. Good fit if you are a founder, operator, or someone actively building/running a business in Zürich and you prefer real conversations over pitching. Looking forward to meeting all of you as always. Feel free to message me on meetup if you can't find me, I'll respond quickly.

*«The creative and UX industry is changing fast. Roles are shifting, tools are evolving, expectations are rising, and many people are asking what their skills will be worth in the future.»* **This evening is not a classic Last Thursday Talk.** UX Schweiz and Syndicom invite the community to **a workshop and open exchange** for people working in UX, design, research, strategy, communication and related creative fields. The focus is especially on people at the beginning of their careers, people in transition, and everyone currently asking: **What does the future of our work actually look like?** We want to create a space for hopes, concerns, changing roles, useful skills, new tools, AI, career paths and possible forms of support within the community. Uncertainty is allowed, but we do not want to stay stuck in fear. The evening starts with a short input by **[Pascal Geronimi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-geronimi-5112b324/).** After that, we will work in small groups: collecting thoughts, clustering topics, discussing what matters most, and sharing key insights. Together, we want to explore: * What currently gives us hope? * What feels uncertain or worrying? * How are roles, tools and expectations changing? * Which skills and mindsets might become more important? * What kind of support could UX Schweiz, Syndicom or the wider community offer? **This is an experimental format.** Because this is a workshop-style event, **places are limited**. Please only register if you are quite sure you can attend. If your plans change, please cancel your RSVP so someone else can join. **Format** * Short intro input * Small-group exchange * Shared takeaways in the plenum * Optional informal drinks afterwards nearby **A small question before you come** You do not need to prepare anything. But take a moment to think about this: ***When you think about the future of your work: what gives you hope, and what makes you unsure?*** **Practical information** • The event will be held in English. • The number of participants is limited. • Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.

**☕ Investment Café – Your Monthly Investment Meetup** The Investment Café takes place **every last Thursday of the month** in Zürich.

(bad weather fallback date: 2 July) Dear ZOWSPers Every summer, ZOWSP goes island hopping. There are two islands at the end of Lake Zurich: Ufnau & Lützelau Every Thursday evening on Lützelau, there is free live music at the restaurant (more info: [https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/](https://insel-luetzelau.ch/restaurant/)) We will: - leave Zurich by train (S8) at 16:07 to Freienbach - start swimming from Spielplatz Seeanlage Freienbach to Ufnau at 5pm sharp - walk across Ufnau - swim to Lützelau - order food, drinks, and enjoy live music on Lützelau - catch a boat to Rapperswil Please note: - Signup on this meetup event is mandatory by Monday (3 days before we go), as we need to book boats to get back to Rapperswil. - Two swim groups: slower (\~3:00/100m) & faster (\~2:00/100m) - Total Swim distance: 2.5km, split into 2 parts: before & after walking across Ufnau - Bring a dry-bag to pack your phones, flip flops, clothes. - I suspect wetsuits will not be required given how quickly the lake temperature is rising. In order to participate in this event, you need to leave work early. Here are some excuses you can use: - I have a dentist appointment (overused & boring, but always works) - my cat is sick - it's my {important relative}'s {high-number rounded to the nearest 10}th birthday dinner in Lausanne - My neighbor just texted me because my dog won't stop barking, and they think a pipe might have burst in the building's hallway. I need to go check on things (the best excuse in this list, because it is too specific to be considered suspicious) Best, ZOWSP organising committee

Welcome to the **Task-Buddies** event of the **Zürich Productivity Circle**, where we bring together like-minded individuals to work on personal goals and share the experience of growth in a supportive community. Maybe you are building a business or side hustle, studying for a course, learning a new (programming) language, figuring the tax system out, writing code, prose, or poetry, researching new stocks for your portfolio, tackling your German homework, or upskilling for your job. In all of these cases and more, this is the perfect space for you. In fact, productivity does not end there. Even if you just want to read a psychology book to resolve a personal struggle, sketch a mountain, listen to podcasts, organize your week, respond to unanswered emails and messages, enjoy a novel, or just reflect and meditate, you are very welcome here. For any task that adds positively to your life and can be done sitting down with others (exception: anything noisy/disruptive/disrespectful), you will fit into the events. We will meet at a work-friendly café in Zürich and follow the agenda below. **Agenda:** * **Introductions and food (20-30 mins):** Start with a round of introductions to get to know each other and share what we'll be working on, buy our food and drinks. * **Productive Work Session (1-2 hours)** Dive into your individual tasks in a focussed, distraction-free environment. * **Collective Break and Socializing (\~15 mins):** Take a planned break to stretch, chat, get more coffee, and share insights about your projects. * **Continued Work Session (1-2 hours):** Get back to your tasks with renewed focus and motivation. * **Wrap-Up and Reflections (15+ mins):** Conclude with a reflection on what we accomplished, share productivity tips or questions, discuss plans for future meetups, stay back for more chit chat if you like. **What to Bring:** * Your project or task materials (laptop, charger, books, sketchpad, pen, etc.) * Respectful and kind demeanour * A positive attitude and a willingness to share and learn **Note:** Please ensure that your tasks are suitable for a quiet, communal setting. We aim to maintain a respectful and conducive environment for everyone. **Venue Courtesy:** Out of courtesy for the venue, please order something drinks for yourself. This helps support the café and ensures we can continue to use their space for our meetups.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
