Beachvolley for Beginners at Beachhalle Zürich Nord 🏐
Welcome to this volleyball session for beginners! 🤗
During this event, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, play friendly matches and learn the basic techniques if you wish.
This event is aimed at everyone that has never played before or a long time ago and is not sure to be able to pass the ball properly over the net or to someone. If you think you're comfortable playing, I invite you to join the advanced events of Marius: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-avsypajv/.
Let's meet at the Beachhalle Zürich Nord (next to the airport). I booked the court BBC and Eins.
**Tips:**
\- Bring a water bottle
**Practical details and participation conditions:**
\- A small contribution is required for court rental and other organisational expenses\, please pay before the event via TWINT at \+41784053495 by **writing your name and date of the event** or cash the day of the event.
\- For any inquiries\, please **only message me on Meetup**
\- Please only sign up through Meetup for an easier organisation
\- Please cancel at least 48 hours in advance if you can’t make it\, so others can sign up or I can reschedule the session
\- If you don't cancel and do not show\, cover your share to keep it fair for everyone\.
\- I strongly suggest you to activate your notifications on Meetup to get updates on your status or event changes\.
**Price per person:** CHF 6.5
**!No shows!**
Lately, there has been quite some no-shows. Therefore, I remind you to please sign out 48 hours before the event if you're not sure to come. So that people in the waiting list can join instead. The court is not free, any no-show means wasted cost. In case of two no-shows, I have no choice but to impeach you from signing up again by excluding you from the group 😣
**How to reach the court:**
1\. Enter the main building\. The wardrobe is on your left\.
2\. Cross the main building and go out again\.
3\. Go around the building in front of you by turning left\. You will see the tennis courts on your left\. The entrance is slightly hidden on the right\.
4\. Leave your shoes and belongings in the boxes at the entrance\.
**In the court, there are no toilets, wardrobe or showers. If you need to change or take a shower, you need to do it in the main building.**

Meaningful Conversations Zurich | What Deserves My Attention?
**⚠️ Registration via Luma is required.**
Meetup RSVP alone does not confirm your spot.
[Register here](https://luma.com/tmrorxc8)
Maximum group size: 10 participants.
***
Meaningful Conversations Zurich is a small and intentional gathering space for people who value honest conversations, thoughtful reflection and genuine human connection.
A space to slow down, listen carefully and speak more openly than we usually do in everyday life.
There is no specific expertise required and no expectation to perform, impress or have the right answers.
Each gathering explores a small number of questions connected to everyday life, relationships, responsibility, purpose, uncertainty, personal growth and the human experience.
The intention is not to debate or convince one another, but to create space for genuine exchange and different perspectives.
**Who this is for**
This gathering may resonate with you if you enjoy thoughtful conversations, personal reflection, curiosity about different perspectives, and meeting people beyond the usual networking or social small talk.
**Practical Information**
• Limited to 10 participants to support meaningful connection and a comfortable atmosphere.
• The participant mix continues to evolve with each gathering. Diverse perspectives and experiences are warmly welcomed and help enrich the quality of the conversations.
• The gathering takes place outdoors whenever possible, usually near the lake in Zurich. In case of bad weather, an indoor alternative will be communicated in advance.
Registration
To keep things organised, registration happens through Luma rather than through WhatsApp messages.
***
Location:
**China Garden Area, Seefeld, Zurich.**
The exact meeting point will be shared with registered participants before the gathering.
Since launching in Zurich, several participants have already returned for multiple gatherings

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Smart Search + AI: An Outcome-Driven Journey from IDP to a Suite of AI
Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans.

Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served.
This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.
