Loop Frames: An immersive street photography walk
## **📷 SEE. FRAME. WALK. REPEAT.**
**Travelers Loop** is a global community for people who travel with purpose.
We connect travellers through real stories, cultural exchange, and shared experiences.
Grab your **camera** \- and join us for an immersive walk through the city streets\.
This is your chance to practice **photography**, exchange **experience**, and meet like-minded **people** — all while working on creative assignments that sharpen your eye and help you discover the city in a new way.
Each walk lasts **2 hours** and revolves around a different theme, revealed at the beginning of the session.
At the end, we’ll share mate 🧉 together in the park — or stop at a café if the weather calls for it.
If:
\- Your camera has been collecting dust waiting for the “perfect moment”
\- You shoot\, but struggle to find interesting subjects
\- You feel shy
\- You want to tell stories through images instead of just pressing the shutter
\- You’re tired of figuring it all out alone without a supportive community around you
Then **this** is your space.
## **What to expect**
🎯 One creative task for the entire walk
🧠 Short, focused briefing before we start
🚶 2 hours of intentional street practice
🖼 Final selection: one frame per participant
📂 Shared post-event online gallery
No posing.
No forced portraits.
No pressure.
Just observation, movement, and composition.
## **Who it’s for**
🌱 Beginners who want structure
📸 Photographers who want disciplined practice
🌍 Travelers who see the city as a visual story
Any camera works — mirrorless, DSLR, compact, or phone.
This isn’t a paid shoot - so there’s no need to carry all your gear.
Come light with your favorite setup. We’ll be walking a lot - and extra weight means extra stress!
## **🕹 HOW TO JOIN**
Group is limited to 10 participants to keep the experience focused.
🎟 One Episode Pass — **20 USD/ARS 20.000**
Send a message to reserve your spot.
No random drop-ins — we keep the space intentional.
📷 **SEE. FRAME. WALK. REPEAT.**
Loop Frames isn’t about collecting photos.
It’s about learning to see differently.
If that resonates — join us!

Social Meet - New Friends, Good Connections | 🌎Culture Shock Therapy
# **ENGLISH VERSION**
**Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires**
️ **Every Saturday \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS**
️ **Entry: 5,000 ARS (≈ 5 USD)**
***
### **Saturdays just got better.**
Let’s face it — meeting new people as an adult is weird, awkward, and sometimes straight-up intimidating.
So we created a space where everything feels easy.
No pressure. No scripts. No “networking voice.”
Just real people, good energy, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
Come grab a seat, chat with someone new, flirt if the vibe is right , and enjoy that magic moment when strangers start feeling like friends.
No minimum consumption — just bring your vibe, your curiosity, and let the night flow.
Expect:
✨ Multilingual chaos
✨ Cultural surprises
✨ Genuine laughs
✨ Unexpected chemistry
✨ And that “how are we just meeting now?” feeling
This isn’t networking.
This isn’t speed dating.
This is **Culture Shock Therapy** — where the city meets the world.⚡
If you’ve been searching for your tribe in Buenos Aires…
You’ve officially found it

# **VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL**
**Dilettos Pastas & Café – Perón 4217, Buenos Aires**
️ **Todos los sábados \| 18:00 HS – 20:00 HS**
️ **Entrada: $5.000 (≈ 5 USD)**
***
### **Los sábados ahora tienen otro sabor.**
Seamos honestos: hacer amigos de adulto es raro, incómodo y a veces un poco intimidante.
Por eso creamos un espacio donde todo fluye.
Sin presión. Sin caretas. Sin tener que “parecer interesante.”
Solo buena vibra, gente auténtica y conversaciones que valen la pena.
Vení, sentate, conocé a alguien nuevo, coqueteá si pinta , y disfrutá ese momento en el que los desconocidos se convierten en compañía.
No hay consumo obligatorio — traé tu energía, tus ganas de conectar y dejá que la noche haga lo suyo.
Vas a encontrar:
✨ Caos lingüístico
✨ Choques culturales divertidos
✨ Risas reales
✨ Conexiones inesperadas
✨ Y ese famoso “¿cómo recién nos estamos conociendo?”
No es networking.
No es speed dating.
Esto es **Culture Shock Therapy** — donde la ciudad se mezcla con el mundo. ⚡
Si estabas buscando tu tribu en Buenos Aires…
Acabás de encontrarla

Cultural Crossroads in the Park
Join us every other Sunday at Parque Las Heras in Palermo for Cultural Crossroads in the Park, a fun and inclusive meetup led by Dr. Zachary McKinley, a cultural researcher from the USA.
Kicking off at 3:00 pm with 30 minutes of casual networking, this gathering invites you to grab a coffee or mate beforehand and connect with fellow participants. At 3:30, Dr. McKinley will guide a 1.5-hour collaborative group discussion exploring cultural dimensions and their profound influence on thoughts, behaviors, perceptions, and communication styles across borders.
Whether you're a local, an expat, or just curious about the richness of cultural diversity, this event is your opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and broaden your understanding of the world. All are welcome; however, **the conversation will be entirely in English**, as the host does not speak fluent Spanish.

Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee | 🌎Culture Shock Therapy
Español Abajo
**☕️ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee ☕️**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
\*\* What to expect?\*\*
✔️ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
✔️ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
✔️ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zone—without feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
**Where?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
**How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but they’re worth every cent).

**☕️Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son Más Fuertes que el Café☕️**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incómodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. Aquí venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueños, las crisis existenciales y por qué seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
\*\* ¿Qué puedes esperar?\*\*
✔️ Preguntas que te harán pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
✔️ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del tráfico.
✔️ Dinámicas interactivas que te sacarán de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estás listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con café en mano y un toque de humor sarcástico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
**¿Dónde?** Diletto – Perón 4217 (porque el café sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeína desperdiciada).
**¿Cuánto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sí, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

CBusData - Discover the Power of Window Functions
Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems:
* Using running totals
* Performing operations in intervals
* Identifying data gaps and islands
* Performing aggregates without losing detail
Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Google Analytics Alternatives
**Google Analytics Alternatives**
Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday.
Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”.
Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process.
We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.

DoJo (Informal Python Meeting)
**New Dojo Location!**
**Draft Day Columbus**
1130 Dublin Road
Columbus, OH 43215
We're going to try a new dojo location for a few weeks and see how it works
Dojos are informal Python group study sessions where everyone interested in Python gathers to learn about Python, help others with Python, or just hang out. Everyone is welcome from Python beginners to experts. Bringing a laptop is encouraged (we'll have extension cords and power strips). If there's something you want to learn leave a comment on this invite so we can plan ahead.
We're looking for topic suggestions and people interested in presenting at our monthly meetings. To this end we've set up a survey form at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15eBKF1nQQ2XS5gzD4rvhVRHMBEj7lJtHuA9wXupS3Uc)
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Drake Lundstrom is presenting:
Code Anywhere by Talking to your Phone
Abstract:
Have you heard the trend of people deploying code anywhere from checkout lines to doctors' offices? In this talk, you will learn how to talk to your phone and have an app on Azure to show your friend 5 minutes later. The basic DevOps tools you already know, plus a little bit of AI magic, are all you need!
If you want to follow along, the demo will be in Azure with GitHub Actions and GitHub Copilot, and you can have it set up on your phone by the end of the session. Just come in with an Azure account and a GitHub repo.
Join us for pizza, drinks, and networking @ Improving's office. Doors open at 5:45.
