Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn and connect. RSVP today and be part of something special! Streamlining Release Processes in Large-Scale Environments presented by Yuri Kudyn from Release Management Apps Agile and DevOps have revolutionized software delivery, but implementing them effectively in enterprise environments demands additional strategies, practices, and tools tailored to organizational complexity. Quality gates, compliance checks, dependency tracking, and linkage management are essential components of any large-scale release process. In this session, we’ll explore how Atlassian Jira, Release Hub, and Marketplace apps enable smooth, compliant releases across complex enterprise ecosystems. From complex dependencies to compliance hurdles, we’ll break down the biggest release management challenges and how to tackle them effectively. AI Apps builder for Jira (No-Code Way to Build Forge Apps) presented by Stepan Fedortsiv from Saasjet Jira teams often need custom dashboards, panels, or reports that aren’t available in Jira’s native features. In the past, building these solutions required development skills and time to write code. AI Apps Builder for Jira simplifies this process. Instead of coding, users can describe the solution they need in plain language, and the AI generates a secure Forge app ready to deploy, no coding required. Join Stepan to see how you can build Jira apps faster with AI and Forge, and turn ideas into working Jira solutions in minutes. Good to know: Our Brussels venue is located within the city’s Low Emission Zone (LEZ). If you’re coming by car, please check in advance whether your vehicle is allowed. Public transport is a great alternative.

***SETI: Space Agencies***, an expansion for *SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence*, introduces powerful asymmetric organizations — each with unique abilities, strategic advantages, and starting conditions that redefine how you approach the search for alien life. As the leader of one of these institutions — ranging from private tech companies to global research networks — you'll bring a distinct perspective and specialized tools to the mission, unlocking bold new strategies and rewarding long-term planning. In addition to these organizations, the expansion adds three new alien species, each with their own unique twists, and over forty new project cards inspired by real-world initiatives. These integrate seamlessly into the main deck, providing even greater variety and strategic options. "Quick Start" cards, designed for use with the organizations, let you skip the slower opening round and dive straight into the action. They introduce an extra layer of asymmetry during set-up and can be used to further accelerate games in lower player counts. Finally, the expansion introduces signal tokens, a subtle but meaningful new mechanism that enhances scanning efficiency. Whether you're adapting to your organization's strengths or navigating fresh interstellar challenges, *SETI: Space Agencies* deepens the strategic landscape of your mission to discover life beyond Earth. **The game will be called at 22:30, no matter the state of it.**

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.

**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.** We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on: **How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.** We’ll cover: * what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level) * why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.) * how people are building real systems with them today * where things break in practice This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A. Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join. No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems. We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
