**Il tema della serata** 📌 Camilla ci porta con sè nel dietro le quinte della vita del fotografo (termine che, però, le va stretto). Dai primi scatti, realizzati nella propria stanza, di una ragazza adolescente timida ed insicura, al successo a livello internazionale, realizzando il proprio sogno di scattare per il National Geographic. Un viaggio fra le difficoltà e gli ostacoli di un percorso professionale che ha portato Camilla a realizzare il proprio sogno. Una storia che ci fornirà spunti di riflessione, consigli pratici e principi da applicare in ambiti anche diversi da quello prettamente artistico. **Il nostro ospite 🎙️** **Camilla Ferrari**— Camilla Ferrari (nata nel 1992) è una fotografa e Visual Artist milanese. Il suo lavoro unisce approccio documentaristico e poesia visiva, combinando fotografie e brevi video immersivi per esplorare la percezione, il confine tra sogno e realtà e gli aspetti nascosti della vita quotidiana. I suoi lavori sono stati pubblicati da **National Geographic**, **The New York Times**, **NPR**, **Artsy** e **Domus**. Ha inoltre collaborato con aziende come Apple, Lamborghini, Canon e Sony Music. Nel 2025 è stata speaker al **TEDx** Conegliano, intervenendo sul tema “Invisible”. **Format e Agenda 📋** L'evento è a **numero chiuso** — pochi posti, location giusta, dialogo vero. * **18:45** · Apertura porte e benvenuto. * **19:00 - 19.50** · Intervento dell'ospite in forma aperta. Nessun copione, nessuna lezione, solo conversazione autentica e dialogo diretto con l'audience. * **A seguire** · Networking libero 🥂 *Prima consumazione e light aperitivo inclusi. Ulteriori drink e food disponibili alla carta.* *** Ti aspettiamo per una serata densa di idee, spunti inaspettati e persone nuove che vale la pena conoscere. 💡 *L'unica cosa che ti chiediamo: puntualità. Per rispetto del nostro ospite, della location e delle altre persone che hanno scelto di partecipare. See you soon! 👋*

Sono proprietario di un bar e dispongo di un tavolo da biliardo semi-professionale. Sto creando un gruppo WhatsApp di giocatori amatoriali di biliardo americano pool/carambola, per la maggior parte debuttanti. Cerco persone disposte a unirsi al gruppo per giocare e divertirsi nel tempo libero, il pomeriggio oppure la sera in ogni giorno. Per stimolare l'impegno di ogni giocatore, abbiamo pattuito che il vincitore di ogni "mini-torneo" organizzato nei vari giorni giochi gratis e non paghi la tariffa di tempo per il periodo di gioco (un'ora di gioco costa 10€, ma viene di volta in volta frazionata in base al periodo di gioco effettivo). Il locale si trova in zona nord di Milano, stazione Greco-Pirelli, università Bicocca. Chiunque dovesse essere davvero interessato a partecipare e unirsi al mio gruppo, non esiti a contattarmi. Cerco persone serie e disposte solamente a divertirsi, senza puntare mazzette grazie mille. Antonio

I’m Raz a movement and yoga teacher with over 10 years of experience studying and practicing in India, the birthplace of yoga. I’ve taught internationally and worked with people from many backgrounds, helping them move with greater ease, awareness, and confidence. I’ve recently made Milan my home, and as an international teacher now based here, I would love to build a welcoming community through regular movement, breath, and mindful practice. These sessions are especially designed for people navigating daily modern life long hours at a desk, office work, stress, and tension from sitting or repetitive movement. ⸻ What to expect These sessions blend: \* Mobility work to improve joint health, coordination, and ease of movement \* Flexibility training to safely release tension from daily posture and gradually increase range of motion \* Breathwork & mindfulness to regulate the nervous system and support mental clarity and stress relief No experience or flexibility is required — the practice is fully adaptable to all levels. ⸻ About the class Each 60-minute session is a complete guided practice designed to help you feel better in your body — not only during the class, but in your daily life. We move through: \* Gentle warm-up and joint preparation \* Controlled mobility sequences to counteract stiffness from sitting and office work \* Deep stretching targeting common tight areas (hips, back, shoulders, neck) \* Breath awareness to reduce stress and reset the mind after a busy day \* Guided relaxation to integrate the practice and calm the nervous system The approach is slow, mindful, and progressive, focusing on quality of movement rather than intensity or performance.

Sei un remote worker? Uno studente? Un freelance? Ti serve un luogo calmo dove lavorare senza distrazioni, senza pressione, e allo stesso tempo socializzare? Remote Circle è una routine di lavoro condivisa e silenziosa. Iscriviti all'evento e presentati nel luogo indicato. L’atmosfera è essenziale: tavoli condivisi, ritmo lento, concentrazione naturale. Si lavora in autonomia, ma non da soli. Rimani il tempo che ti serve: l’incontro è flessibile, discreto, operativo. Remote Circle non è un workshop e non è coworking. È un appuntamento leggero, replicabile, pensato per creare continuità senza esposizione.

**Welcome to our June UX Beers in Antwerp!** This time, we will host our event on Tuesday the 30th of June at Craftzing in Antwerp. [Ariad](https://www.ariadgroup.com/) and [Creative Skills](https://www.creativeskills.be/) sponsor our events. Follow the event online?

So with AI emerging, it can feel like a lifeline: faster prototyping, '*deeper*' research, and more concepts to explore. But somewhere between the third AI-generated prototype and losing the thread of your prompted designs, it can become painfully obvious what the impact is of designing with LLMs. We're not executing anymore, we're reviewing, approving, and critiquing, like a manager. This talk gets honest about what that actually means: the speed gains are real, but the cognitive debt is quietly compounding, and your future as a designer depends on understanding why. Explore how designers can protect their cognitive depth, enhance their review capacity, and stay in control when the machine can almost draw anything. **Talk 2:** **Growing UX in organisations that are not there yet.** By Koen Peters, Designer at Namahn More and more organisations are asking us to help build design expertise in-house, even putting together a design team for them. I have learnt that in such cases, you need to set aside your own biases and assumptions first: your neatly mapped-out methodology, your Figma dogmas and all the other things you as a design agency take for granted. The reality in these organisations is often very different: limited resources, no design culture and few or no trained designers on the team. Through a few client case studies, I will show how we have tackled such challenges. Organising a training in UX and design thinking is a good first step, offering a chance to get to know the team and identify which skills are already there and which are missing. I will also demonstrate tools and activities that we have used to help a team get started and become more aware of UX research and design. These include a script for choosing the right UX approach, skills assessment models to identify gaps and first steps towards creating a design playbook. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- \#\#\# SCHEDULE 18:00 - Doors open.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * 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!

**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice. Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas don’t quite line up yet.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. We’ll cover: * Why “it looks good” is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
