The Candle Experience & Aperitivo 03.06
Join The Candle Cluub for a cozy, creative evening designed to help you truly slow down. This isn’t just a workshop, it’s a space to reconnect with yourself, get hands-on, and enjoy the process.
During the experience, you’ll create your own eco friendly candle from scratch, choosing the fragrance that feels most like you from a curated selection (and yes, choosing won’t be easy). I’ll guide you step by step through wax, scents, and pouring but what you’ll take home is something deeply personal.
What makes it special?
It’s not just about making a candle. It’s about taking time for yourself, sharing a moment, and leaving with both something beautiful and a different kind of feeling.
While your candle comes to life, we’ll enjoy a light aperitivo, surrounded by good vibes, scents, and conversation.
Whether you come alone, with a friend, or to meet new people, this is a warm, welcoming space, no pressure, just experience.
🕯 Workshop available in English and Italian

AI ROI - Come proteggere l'investimento nel lungo termine
🔍 **Intro**
Se l'intelligenza artificiale toglie il costo di scrivere il codice questo significa che il ROI è garantito?
E se stiamo costruendo velocemente qualcosa che non serve a nessuno? O peggio qualcosa che serve ma non è pronta per la produzione?
Un volta in produzione quanto è il costo di manutenzione ed evoluzione?
Visto che il codice non lo leggo più come posso garantirmi che non riparto da zero ogni volta?
Ultimo ma non meno importante: sto rispettando tutte le policy di compliance per il mio settore? Che rischi sto correndo se li violo? Di chi è la responsabilità?
🎙️**Di cosa parleremo**
L'obiettivo dell'incontro è superare l'entusiasmo superficiale per l'IA e guardare dritto ai numeri. Partiremo analizzando il business case **dell'investimento in AI SDLC**, andando oltre il semplice risparmio per calcolare il *Total Cost of Ownership* e la velocità con cui un'idea si trasforma in valore tangibile (Time-to-Value).
Ma i numeri non vivono nel vuoto: esploreremo come l'IA stia riscrivendo i **processi di sviluppo**, cercando il difficile equilibrio tra una delivery accelerata e il rischio di accumulare debito tecnico.
Sposteremo poi il focus sulla dimensione umana, il cosiddetto **ROI invisibile**: vedremo come l'automazione, se ben gestita, possa ridurre il carico cognitivo e il logorante *context switching*, permettendo ai talenti di restare nel 'flow' e generare valore strategico invece di perdersi in task alienanti.
Infine, attraverso l'analisi di **casi studio reali**, tracceremo una roadmap pragmatica per passare da una metrica basata sulla quantità di codice a una basata sui punti di margine, trasformando definitivamente l'IA in un pilastro di redditività aziendale.
**📝 Agenda**
* **18.15**: Accesso e Networking (iniziamo a conoscerci!)
* **18:30:** Welcome
* **18:45**: Talk
* **19:30:** Q&A
* **19:45:** Pizza and drinks
Nessun meetup è completo senza un momento conviviale. Durante la serata saranno offerte **bevande, birra e pizza** per facilitare il networking e continuare le discussioni in modo informale.
**⚠️ Nota importante:** I posti sono limitati per garantire la qualità della conversazione durante la tavola rotonda. Assicurati di fare RSVP il prima possibile!
**Ti aspettiamo per dare forma insieme al futuro dello sviluppo software!**

Aperitivo and Hang-out in English
Hello everybody,
I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 13 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing).
Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry.
I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can.
I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with.
When you get there ask for **Riccardo**.
Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963**
During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.
Looking forward to a great time together!
Best regards,
Riccardo

Trails & Ales! Chestnut Ridge Metro Park / BrewDog DogTap
**History**
[Chestnut Ridge Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/chestnut-ridge/) is historically significant because it sits on a 300-million-year-old outcropping of Blackhand sandstone. Geographically recognized as the very first foothill of the Appalachian Mountains, the ridge rises 1,116 feet above sea level. Long before European settlement, the land served as a sacred site for ancient civilizations. The park contains the Old Maid's Orchard Mound, an eight-foot-tall burial mound constructed by the Adena culture between 1000 B.C. and 100 B.C. This ancient landmark has remained largely intact and is now protected on the National Register of Historic Places.
The documented modern history of the land began with an official survey conducted by Ebenezer Buckingham in 1801. Original land deeds of sale from this period notably bear the signatures of United States Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In the 1830s, Irish laborers arrived at the ridge to quarry its rich Blackhand sandstone. The blocks they hewed were used to build the crucial locks for the nearby Ohio and Erie Canal. Remnants of this early sandstone quarrying operation can still be spotted by sharp-eyed hikers along the modern trails.
Agricultural transformation defined the ridge throughout the mid-to-late 19th century. Settlers discovered that the high elevation created a natural air flow that prevented late-season frost damage to crops. Extensive fruit orchards were planted across the slopes between 1860 and 1880. One notable orchard was established by John Wagner, a Spanish-American War veteran who chose the ridge specifically for its proximity to the bustling Columbus market. The park's current name pays homage to the massive American chestnut trees that once dominated the ridgeline before a devastating ecological blight wiped them out in the early 20th century.
The conservation story of the modern 486-acre park began in March 1962. The Metro Parks board announced land acquisition plans to block developers from building a residential housing development called Chestnut Heights. Director-Secretary Walter A. Tucker advocated heavily for the purchase, citing the ridge's immense value as a scenic overlook for central Ohio. The district systematically purchased multiple agricultural parcels over the next two decades. After operating strictly as undeveloped farmland through the 1970s, Chestnut Ridge Metro Park officially opened to the public on December 18, 1988.
In recent decades, the park has evolved from a quiet hiking spot into a premier regional destination for outdoor sports. A major turning point occurred in 2010 when the Central Ohio Mountain Biking Organization (COMBO) partnered with the park district to develop new infrastructure. Volunteers worked extensively to construct a single-track mountain bike trail, which officially opened in October 2011. An expert gravity and flow trail featuring advanced jumps was later integrated into the loop in 2016. Today, the park successfully balances its deep ancient, industrial, and agricultural history with active recreation.
**Map of the Park**
Here is a [map of Chestnut Ridge](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/CHR_map_1980px_2026.jpg).
**Summary**
For this event, we will hike the Ridge, Meadows, and Homesite Trails, and Law's Lane, which is unmarked on some maps. None of these trails is individually very long, so we will hike a few permutations and loops until we get in 4-5 miles. The hike will be moderately strenuous.
**Where We'll Meet**
Drive to the rearmost picnic area at the back of the park. There's a latrine here, but there's no water fountain here or anywhere else at Chestnut Ridge. I strongly recommend you bring some water of your own, at least for after the hike.
Cell service at the park is spotty, although your GPS will get you there just fine. The map pin I've provided here is exactly where we'll be meeting and should be able to be used directly in Google Maps, although Chestnut Ridge isn't big and you're unlikely to get lost here.
**After the Hike**
Afterward, we'll head over to [BrewDog DogTap](https://drink.brewdog.com/usa/brewdog-dogtap-columbus) for [drinks](https://usa.brewdog.com/pages/brewdog-lineup) and [food](https://usa.brewdog.com/cdn/shop/files/DogTap_Menu_2025_65e1ff8b-97d4-4f26-80f1-68321d482025.pdf?v=17356939232910340498). They also have an outdoor area that's extremely popular.
I've had their burgers and their pizza, and I think they're both very good. I also really like their [Cold Beer](https://usa.brewdog.com/products/cold-beer-2024) (that's its actual name), which is their American light lager.
BrewDog's actual address is [96 Gender Rd, Canal Winchester, OH 43110](https://www.google.com/maps/place/96+Gender+Rd,+Canal+Winchester,+OH+43110/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88387c06afa21a85:0x804c611d373d8c54?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111), and they have a large, free parking lot. We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
