Vibecode Bar
In dieser Session öffnen wir unsere Vibecode Bar – die offene Runde für alle Fragen und Interessen rund ums VibeCoding. Bring deine Projekte, Probleme oder Ideen mit, und wir schauen gemeinsam darauf.
Du brauchst keine Vorkenntnisse. Egal, ob du gerade erst neugierig geworden bist oder schon erste Erfahrungen gesammelt hast – alle sind willkommen. Es geht nicht um Perfektion, sondern ums Ausprobieren, Verstehen und Weiterkommen.
Vielleicht hast du eine vage Idee, die du endlich konkretisieren willst. Vielleicht steckst du bei einem Projekt fest. Oder du möchtest einfach sehen, wie andere an ihre Themen herangehen. Alles hat Platz.
Die Vibecode Bar ist auch ein Ort für Austausch und Vernetzung. Hier triffst du Menschen, die ähnliche Fragen beschäftigen, die experimentieren, testen und dazulernen. Wir teilen Erfahrungen, geben ehrliches Feedback und lernen voneinander.
Und weil gute Ideen in entspannter Atmosphäre entstehen, gibt es einen kleinen Apéro mit Snacks. In lockerer Stimmung lässt es sich einfacher fragen, diskutieren und weiterdenken.
Kurz: eine offene, unterstützende Runde, in der man sich gegenseitig inspiriert, weiterhilft, neue Kontakte knüpft – und dabei auch noch Spass hat.
Writers' Workshop
Join us at Museum Strauhof for an opportunity to enjoy, discuss and learn from excellent writing. We'll have a private room at Zurich's literature museum, less than a 10 minute walk from Zurich HB. There will be three reading and discussion slots and an opportunity to meet other writers.
A few notes for prospective writers:
1. You aren’t required to share your own work and should feel encouraged to attend simply to enjoy and discuss the work of others, if you prefer.
2. All genres, formats, and styles of creative writing welcome, noting that the focus will be on discussing English-language fiction (or creative non-fiction). Poetry is likely to be better suited to the marvellous Zürich Poetry Club.
3. All abilities are welcome, from those just starting out to those who have already made progress in their writing, from hobbyists to professionals.
4. There will be three reading slots for each session, allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Please indicate in the comments for the event if you would like to share something.
5. If you would like to share your writing with the group, you can do so either by reading aloud or allowing group members to read directly. You can expect to read for 5-7 minutes (approximately 600-1000 words) with 15-20 minutes provided for discussion afterwards.
6. If possible, please bring sufficient copies of any writing that you would like to present, so that everyone can read it themselves. You can also request written feedback.
7. Improving as a writer requires both guidance and encouragement, so you can expect the discussion to be constructive and courteous - we all know how challenging it can be.
We hope that you will be able to join, and look forward to seeing you there!
AI Agents Over Coffee
Join us for the very first Coffee & AI Agents meetup!
A relaxed, no-pressure coffee chat to talk about AI agents: what they are today, how they can actually help in work and business, what’s worth designing, where the opportunities and risks are, and how they might fit real workflows.
No presentations, no jargon, no sales pitches. Just good coffee, a small group, and open conversation.
Who should come:
* People interested in AI agents and wanting to discuss designing them (planning workflows, goals, tools, behaviors — no coding needed)
* People from any industry who have tasks or processes they'd love to automate with agents and want to connect with others thinking about building them
Format: Drop in anytime from 6:00 PM onwards (we'll wrap up naturally around 8:00 PM or when people start heading out). We'll start with quick intros (“What brought you here?” or “One thing you’d love an agent to handle?”) then let the discussion flow freely.
**Limited to 10 spots** for a cozy, conversational group — RSVP to secure your place.
Venue: ViCafe Europaallee Europaallee 20 8004 Zürich
See you there — bring your curiosity and enjoy the coffee! ☕🤖
Zertifizierter VSM Coach – Seminar am 5., 12. und 13. März 2026
Ungewissheit, Volatilität und Komplexität nehmen weiterhin zu. Und damit die Anforderungen an wirkungsvolle Führung und Steuerung. Das dreitägige Seminar zum zertifizierten VSM Coach (Metaphorum) bietet eine umfassende Einführung in das Viable System Model (VSM), ein in den 1960er Jahren von Stafford Beer entwickeltes, bewährtes kybernetisches Modell zur Steuerung von Organisationen jeder Grössenordnung.
Das Viable System Model bildete u.a. in den 1980er Jahren eine wesentliche Grundlage für die Entwicklung des St. Galler Management Modells durch Hans Ulrich und findet sich in Teilen auch in jüngeren Organisationsmodellen wieder. Die jüngsten Entwicklungen im Bereich der künstlichen Intelligenz und die sich daraus ergebenden Möglichkeiten für Führung und Steuerung unterstreichen den Wert und die Zeitlosigkeit des universell anwendbaren Modells, das sein Potenzial aus 4 Mrd. Jahren Evolution bezieht.
**Ziele des Seminars**
Die Teilnehmenden werden umfassend befähigt, Organisationen nach den Prinzipien des Viable System Models systematisch zu analysieren, neu auszurichten und nachhaltig zu optimieren. Sie verstehen und beherrschen die fünf Steuerungsfunktionen der Systeme 1 bis 5 und sind in der Lage, das VSM praktisch anzuwenden und Organisationen effektiv zu transformieren.
Damit erreichen sie eine massgeschneiderte und lückenlose Entscheidungs- und Kommunikationsstruktur, die Agilisierung und Effektivierung des Unternehmens, eine klarere Fokussierung auf Kundennutzen, die Sicherstellung von Komplexitätsfähigkeit bei gleichzeitiger Robustheit, die Sicherstellung kontinuierlicher Anpassung (Lernen & Innovieren), die Klarheit über Verantwortung und Voraussetzungen wirksamer Führung, das Ausschöpfen von Verflachungs- und Vereinfachungspotentialen, die Auflösung von Konfliktherden, das Abwerfen von «Organisationsballast» sowie die Auflösung der Kommunikationsblockaden.

**WHY?** we ❤️ **uniting people** and building **community** while having **fun!** We truly believe that **fun meaningful offline connections** to new & existing friends makes us truly happy and healthy! Our community meets **every 2 Fridays** in a **homey,** caring and **welcoming** "come as you are" environment !
.
**WHAT is this event?** We are not a "party or drinks" meetup, nor we follow a "forced" process and agenda. Instead, we are a **Connection Community** inspired by Greek village cafes and Swiss Stammtisch — a welcoming environment where neighbours gathered as equals to share stories and build lasting friendships. We meet in a "**fixed-rhythm**" every 2 Fridays in a **homey** & **lovingly-hosted space** so you can connect with new and familiar faces. We provide **several optional activities** to help you **connect** with others—so you're free to **explore what resonates** with you! Together these activities create a unique **Connection** **Event.**
.
**HOW? Today's activities** are:
* **new comer area** (never was easier to spark a conversation, with ice-breakers, optional for first time attendees)
* **fun social games** (like "cards against humanity" and more - read game names below)
* **mindful games** (no small talk, connect deeper, from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) \- read game names below\)
* \*\* 20:00 - 20:30 Speed-friending\*\* (glass room on ground floor) guaranteed process to meet spark new fun discussions and meet new people - with moderator)
* \*\* 20:30 - 21:00\*\* **Team Versus Team Playful games** (glass room on ground floor) to stop being so serious, stop adulthood and be silly !
* \*\* 22:00 - 00:00\*\* **Dance Party** (glass room on ground floor) lets dance the week away with reggaeton & hits
* beautiful **homey** industrial location in downtown ZH
* **German-speaking** area (falls du nur Deutsch sprechen möchtest)
* \*\* chill-zones\*\* in private quiet rooms (if you want to talk or play games in quietness)
* or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process ❤️
.
.
.
**TIPS on how to connect:**
* **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?".
* **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection.** We have a lot of activities
* **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others
* **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment
* **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet
.
.
**.**
**Some final words:**
* **Bravo** **to you** for the courage to go out to meet new people! We know **everyone is unique** \- thats why we got a big new\-comer area\, 4 co\-hosts welcoming and connecting you\, and many activities for you to **choose** from to find what **suits you**!
* **Weather?** Event takes place rain or shine, with indoors rooms and outdoors area that is ultra rain-protected
* **Coming late?** no problem, we got many people until closing at 00:00 so come whenever!
* **Too many attendees?** no problem, we got the space! Also as per the "what" above: you define what makes the event meaningful for you! Furthermore, the co-organisers have one goal: to say hi and introduce you to the event and people (if you want to please ask)! Finally remember: you dont have to talk to everyone, focus in a few people! Less is more! If you dont know where to start look for a good smile or an activity more matching to you. From there keep on trying people and activities..
* **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new
* **Easy and Safe:** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in Zürich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below.
* **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.**
* more info via our **[LINKS](http://linktr.ee/connectionspace)**
* Yes YOU are **good** & **courageous** for looking for new fun connections!
* Everyone is in same situation and you ll be surprised how **friendly people** are ❤️
* Come **early** though **later** also ok as many people there **until 00:00**
* **It works**! We heard of many new friendships, living together and even getting a new job
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.

📱 **Join our WhatsApp Group for real-time updates:** [Link](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LBnNTDmUY3pG8sPnmDurqH)

* **Cost:** We split the boat rental cost equally among participants. Expect it to be around 35 to 45 CHF per person for 2 hours of sailing (slightly more if it's just a few of us, less if we fill the boat).
* **RSVP Urgency:** Right now, the boat is available. **Please sign up as soon as possible** so I can lock in the reservation! I will book the boat as soon as we get our first confirmed attendees. If we wait too long, we may have to change the location, boat, or time.

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.
