Join us for some great games and nice and friendly people. Most of the people speak english and german. Feel free to join us anytime. The entry fee is CHF 5.-, but you get a drink of your own choosing. If you plan to come, please do so before 20:00 O'clock, after that it's hard to find a space within a group. For all news on future events and products you can find us on discort via this link https://discord.gg/XeEKXnk

Our community speaks both English and German. We offer a small range of snacks and drinks to be consumed at the venue.

You'll need a ticket because of limited space. Best bought in advance. [Ticket link below with guaranteed seat] A MeetUp booking is helpful for planning but doesn't guarantee your space. We will always try to squeeze in any latecomers but sometimes there's no space 😁 We play board games together! Feel free to bring your favourite game with you, just be prepared to explain the rules to others. It is preferable that games are either in English or language-independent, so that anyone can play. Games available on spot: Saboteur, Skull King, Coup, What do you meme?, Uno, Catan, Druids, Codenames and many others. Feel free to come without any game as well. Getting a ticket guarantees your place and covers your first drink (up to Sfr.10.50). Tickets: Sfr.12.00.

*«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.

**Racing after work, done right.** Ease into the evening with social racing, a live DJ, great food and drinks, and a complimentary drink with every simulator ride. Less pressure, more vibes – the perfect mix of sim racing and after-work culture. **Join us for a ride or simply come by for the atmosphere. Every Thursday from 5 PM.** • To guarantee your simulator session, we recommend booking in advance. • Walk-in rides are subject to availability. **Reserve your simulator session:** \+41 58 400 72 56 \| [email](mailto:zuerich_city@racing-unleashed.com) \| [book your ride online](https://prod.racing-unleashed.com/public/ride-booking?lang=en&lounge=zurich-city ) [More info](https://www.racing-unleashed.com/news/thirsty-thursday)

Do **NOT** sign up to this one and sign-up at https://www.meetup.com/columbusjs/events/313386504/ ======================================= A hand tracker gives you joints, not a gesture. This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds. Food and drinks will be available. **LOCATION:** 6515 Longshore Loop, Suite 300, Dublin, OH 43017 **FREE PARKING:** 6725 Longshore Street, Dublin, OH 43017

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
