We’ll dive into how Product Management is evolving in the AI era, and how technical debt can be managed strategically. First, Anna Szell (Product Manager at PostHog) will talk about the AI adoption: how roles are changing, where decision-making sits, and how to build teams that can ship with speed and clarity in an AI-shaped world. ​Then, Nilan Peiris (CPO at Wise) will talk about winning in high-growth environments by rethinking legacy constraints. He reframes technical debt as a strategic capital allocation decision—not a code quality flaw—and shows how to measure the tradeoff between legacy drag and speed-to-market. Learn when to intentionally take on debt to capture market share, how to empower teams without formal authority, and how to balance compliance with bold growth bets—leaving with a playbook to turn technical constraints into competitive advantage. ​Schedule: * ​18:00-18:30 - Arrival + Intro by Gergő Horányi (Wise) * ​18:30-19:00 - Anna Szell (Product Manager at PostHog) -- **Product Management in the AI era** * ​19:00-19:30 - Nilan Peiris (CPO at Wise) — **Technical Debt as a High-Yield Strategic Lever** * ​19:30-21:00 - Drinks, Pizza, Networking ​About the speakers **[Anna Szell](https://hu.linkedin.com/in/annaszell) (Product Manager) @ PostHog** ​Anna Szell is a Product Manager at PostHog.

Ebben az előadásban 3–4 vezető EDR működését vizsgáljuk meg technikai szinten: hogyan hookolják a rendszer DLL-eket, hogyan használnak ETW-t és miként integrálják az AMSI-t. Az előadás bemutatja a patch/bypass alapelveit is, gyakorlati példákon keresztül. Célunk egy erős technikai alap megadása azoknak, akik mélyebben szeretnének elindulni az EDR-ek elemzésének és megkerülésének világában. Előadó: Django.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Try new games, meet new people, and find out what story games are all about! Explore the reaches of space! Witness kingdoms rise and fall! Create and explore tragedies! All within a single game night. We play story games like Fiasco, Kingdom, Polaris and Microscope that encourage everyone at the table to participate creatively. We also have one-shots of indie, OSR, and narrative-focused RPGs such as Apocalypse World, Dread, Lady Blackbird, and Old School Essentials! Everybody's welcome! It doesn't matter if you've never tried story games before or never played roleplaying games at all! Just bring your brain and a good attitude and come try it out! *** **IMPORTANT** * When you arrive look for the marked Story Games Columbus Tables. Each table will have a separate game. Seating is on a first-come-first-serve basis. * If all tables are full, look for a Facilitator. We will find a way to get you into a game! * There is a flat $3 cover charge for events at Tabletop. *** **Facilitators!!** Please arrive early so that we can get you set up with a table. Please reach out to me ASAP if you would be willing to help facilitate. You can reach me on the SGC Discord here - https://discord.gg/jUTvWUu
