Welcome to English Party!
The purpose of our group is to encourage fluency in English while having FUN and making friends!
Our main activities rotate between arts and crafts, game nights, and music (YES - singalongs and karaoke!).
* Do you know some English, but freeze up in embarrassment when talking with native English speakers?
* Are you bored with learning English in a traditional classroom setting?
* Do you crave the challenge of communicating in English in real-life?
* Are you a fan of learning by doing?
* Are you an English-speaking traveler or expat looking to connect with locals?
* Do you enjoy Arts and Crafts? Boardgames? Singing? All of the above?
If you answered yes to one or more of the above questions, chances are you'd have a blast with us in our group!
We host both in-person (in Santiago, Chile) and online experiences. We would love to have you join us!

Introduction to SQL Server 2025: Whatâs New, What Matters, and Some AI Too
SQL Server 2025 delivers a major round of improvements across performance, security, manageability, and hybrid connectivity, and this session gives you a practical, noânonsense tour of what matters most. Weâll cover enhancements to the core engine, query processing, storage, and availability that benefit DBAs and developers regardless of where SQL Server runs. Youâll see how SQL Server 2025 aligns with Azure SQLâs roadmap while still supporting strong onâpremises and VMâbased deployments. Weâll highlight new management, monitoring, and troubleshooting capabilities designed to simplify operations and reduce firefighting. AIâpowered features exist in this release, but the focus here is on the foundational improvements you can use immediately. Whether youâre modernizing, maintaining, or planning your next upgrade cycle, this session will help you understand whatâs new and how to prepare your environment and your team.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Doing KPIs Right
**Doing KPIs Right: a KEY to Analytics (and AI!) Impact!**
On the one hand, KPIs are such a Business 101 concept that it may seem a little silly to dedicate an entire session to the topic. On the other hand, KPIs get handled so poorly so often that a case could be made that this meetup could just be one of the most impactful sessions of the entire year!
Weâre starting off the year at a new location: [COhatch Upper Arlington](https://www.cohatch.com/locations/columbus/upper-arlington/) but with a familiar speaker, Tim Wilson! Weâll be back at Rev1 in February, when the speaker will presumably not be Tim.
Tim will make the case that effectively measuring performance of projects, campaigns, and initiatives (and even meetups!) should be a foundation for any data analytics program. Topics covered will include: the âtwo magic questionsâ of performance measurement, how to help business partners distinguish between outcomes and outputs, and effective tactics for collaboratively establishing KPI targets.
He will also stick his neck out by demonstrating some of these techniques in real-time by measuring whether his talk lives up to the promise of this description!

The Next Chapter: Looking Back, Leaning Forward, A WIA Vision Circle
Coming in January 2026: a warm, reflective gathering to close one chapter and open another. More details coming soon.
Together, we look back at the moments, shifts, and practices that shaped the past yearâwhat worked, what surprised us, and what weâre ready to release. Then we lean forward into who we want to become: the intentions, experiments, and stories we want next Januaryâs version of ourselves to be telling. A gentle, inspiring circle that invites clarity, connection, and shared wisdom.Check us out on Meetup to learn more and rsvp #womeninagilecolumbus #womeninagile
Intro to GitHub Copilot: Your AI Pair Programmer - Chris Steele
**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**
GitHub Copilot is rapidly changing how developers write, understand, and maintain code. Powered by generative AI and deeply integrated into modern development environments, Copilot acts as an intelligent coding assistant, helping developers move faster while maintaining quality and focus.
In this session, weâll explore what GitHub Copilot is, how it works, and where it fits into a real-world developer workflow. Weâll break down what Copilot can (and cannot) do, where it can be used, and how licensing differs for individuals and organizations. Most importantly, this talk goes beyond theory with a live, hands-on demo showcasing Copilot inside the IDE and on GitHub, demonstrating how it can assist with code generation, refactoring, learning new APIs, and accelerating day-to-day development tasks.
Designed for developers, technical leads, and engineering managers, this session provides a practical introduction to AI-assisted development, highlights best practices for getting value from Copilot, and closes with guidance on how to continue learning and evolving alongside this rapidly advancing tool.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how GitHub Copilot can enhance productivity, improve developer experience, and fit into modern software teams today, not someday.
