Agenda Highlights: **Graphs + AI: Transform Your Data into Knowledge** *Emil Eifrem, CEO, Neo4j* Join us as Neo4j's **Emil Eifrem** explains how graph reveals the natural connections in your business data and provides the context AI needs to deliver real results. See how leading organizations turn enterprise knowledge into competitive advantage, powering intelligent decisions and driving business transformation. **A new AI based Graph Visualization tool: Financial Graph network for non-graph experts** *Fayçal Riad Hamou, Tech Lead - Financial Crime Prevention Services, DNB* Understanding a financial graph network structure is a complex task. We introduce a new AI‑based graph visualization tool designed to make financial network analysis accessible to non‑graph experts. The tool enables users to explore relationships, detect patterns, and identify risks without requiring prior knowledge of graph theory. The approach lowers the barrier to advanced financial network analysis while supporting faster and more informed decision‑making **Capgemini and AstraZeneca: Graph Implementation in Action** *Johan Müllern-Aspegren, Emerging Tech Lead, Applied Innovation Exchange Nordics and Core Member of AI Futures Lab, Capgemini* **From Fragmented Data to Holistic Insight: A Graph-Based Approach to Supply Chain Management** *Alexander Hegermann Lauritsen, Data Scientist - AI & Digital Accelerator, Danfoss Group Digital & IT* Modern supply chains are complex, multi-layered networks, yet fragmented systems often limit visibility, slow reactions to disruption, and make change hard to assess. In this talk, we share our journey to building a 360-degree, graph-based view of our end-to-end supply chain (SCM 360) using Neo4j, enabling impact analysis, risk propagation, traceability, and scenario exploration. We conclude with key lessons learned and what it takes to move from analytical insight to production-ready supply chain intelligence. **Neo4j Product Vision & Roadmap** *Ivan Zoratti, Vice President - Product Management, Neo4j* An insider look at the latest Neo4j innovations enabling relationship-driven intelligence at scale. Learn about new features and enhancements that make Neo4j essential for developers building interconnected data apps and AI.

In this talk, we will explore how to integrate AI into real-world C# projects, using Microsoft's latest AI Framework called Microsoft Agent Framework. We will start with a zero-to-first prompt walkthrough on how to get started and then move to chat, tools, structured output, and working with RAG. The event will be held at Twoday in Nordhavn.

Hello

Fulfillment. Joy. – Do you know what it is? Do you feel it now? Many of us are living lives that have “just sort of happened”. We had a dream, a vision (maybe we still do) for what we wanted our lives to look like. Somewhere along the way, life took over and something else ended up happening. We made decisions, took a turn down a path, and now our life isn’t what we thought it would be. Or we’re living someone else’s life. Maybe it’s what our parent’s wanted for us. What we believe our partner or a potential partner might want. Or maybe it’s what we believe we need to do and have to be happy. I was one of these people. My life checked all the boxes for what I thought I needed in order to be happy. And still, I wasn’t. Join me for a coffee talk on what it means to live a Life By Design. Where your choices are deliberate and based on your authentic, true self. What you have to let go off to achieve this (hint: the notion that vulnerability is a weakness and feelings of fear and guilt) and who you will become in the process.

**Co-working for writers in Amager!** Join us for an hour of focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in the area. We meet in this lovely spacious café, chilled out, usually not very busy at this time, with an on-site bakery of delicious pastries. Once everyone is here and settled, I will lead a quick introduction, and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. After the hour is up feel free to chat / take off / keep writing if you're on a roll. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, and it can be a great way to learn from eachother. **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Welcome to this CopenhagenR spring get-together, which will be half a relaxed presentation on useful but unorthodox applications of R, and half an opportunity to connect and chat with fellow R users over coffee and cake, or a beer! **When?** Thursday, 12 March 2026 * **17:30** – Doors open * **18:00** – *Useful applications of R*, presentation by R.M., begins * **18:30** – Connect and chat with fellow R users. There will be coffee, beer, cake, and snacks * **20:00** – No more cake **Where?** PROSA København, room PASCAL Vester Farimagsgade 37A 1606 København **What?** Join us for a CopenhagenR meetup, whether you're new to R or a seasoned pro! This CopenhagenR spring get-together includes a presentation on *Useful applications of R* by **R.M.** **Presentation: Useful applications of R** With R jobs being so difficult to obtain and so poorly compensated, I mostly apply R to the much more useful pursuit of making my life pleasant and easy. I present some short, practical uses of R, such as studying patterns in neti pot usage so I can breathe more easily, understanding my employer-provided private health insurance plan so I can figure out how much of a scam it is, and correcting predictably erroneous payslips so I can pay my taxes.

**Ninth dbt Meetup in Copenhagen** The next Meetup is just around the corner! This time, we’re trying a new format: instead of three shorter presentations, we’ll feature two sessions — each with more time for deeper insights and discussion. The overarching theme for the evening is AI agents in analytics engineering and how they’re reshaping development with dbt. **Event Details** * **Date:** Wednesday, 11th of March 2026 * **Organizer:** Intellishore * **Venue Host:** Veo, Rovsingsgade 68, 2100 Copenhagen **Agenda & Speakers** **17:30** – Kick off the evening by networking over drinks and snacks **17:45** – Event introduction and welcome **18:00**–**19:30** – 💬 Speaker Sessions 1. **Building a dbt Data Vault That Scales With AI** **Speaker:** Frederik Juhl Pedersen (Senior Analytics Engineer at Veo) Most dbt projects slow down as they grow — naming drifts, reviews pile up, onboarding drags. At Veo, we rebuilt our platform as a 5-layer Data Vault with AutomateDV, strict naming, and deterministic patterns. The payoff: AI agents generate production-ready models from specs, and swapping an ingestion tool only affects one layer. This session shares the key architecture decisions, tradeoffs, and how standardization turned AI into a force multiplier. 2. **Agentic development with dbt Fusion and Databricks** **Speaker:** Nina Anderson (Solution Engineer at dbt Labs) In this talk, we’ll explore agentic development with dbt Fusion, the dbt MCP server, and Databricks, showing how the technologies combine to build, test, and reason over analytics workflows autonomously and safely. **19:30** – 🍕 Let's eat. Enjoy pizzas and great conversations **20:30** – Wrap-up **To attend, please read the Health and Safety Policy and Terms of Participation: [https://www.getdbt.com/legal/health-and-safety-policy](https://www.getdbt.com/legal/health-and-safety-policy)** ➡️ **Join the dbt Slack community**: [https://www.getdbt.com/community/](https://www.getdbt.com/community/) For the best Meetup experience, join the **#local-denmark** channel in dbt Slack: [https://slack.getdbt.com/](https://slack.getdbt.com/)

# ✨ Real Founder Lessons for Builders & Career Pivoters (Ashburn) **Saturday, March 14 • 2–4 PM • Ashburn, VA** What if growing your work didn’t have to come with constant exhaustion? This entrepreneur-focused session is a behind-the-scenes conversation about how to build, pivot, and scale **without burning yourself out** — and without chasing work that drains your energy. Whether you’re launching something new, navigating a career pivot, or rebuilding after a layoff, the principles are the same: 👉 protect your energy 👉 make smarter pivots 👉 build momentum that lasts 👉 apply AI practically to support smarter decisions and workflows Over 12 years, I’ve launched **7 startups and side hustles** — alongside **21 years in corporate tech leadership**. The biggest lesson wasn’t scaling tactics… It was learning when to pivot, how to sustain momentum, and how to align what energizes you with what serves your customers — an approach that generated **revenue** in my first full-time year without burnout. A key part of that evolution has been learning how to integrate AI in grounded, practical ways — helping accelerate testing, decision-making, and workflow clarity without adding complexity. During this session, I’ll share real founder insights — including a live screen walkthrough — showing how smart pivots happen and what separates intentional growth from reactive hustle. *** ## What We’ll Explore 1. **How to recognize when to pivot — and when to stay the course** 2. **Building energy-first systems instead of burnout cycles** 3. **Founder decision-making under pressure** 4. **Designing work that supports long-term momentum** 5. **Why sustainable growth outperforms hustle culture** 6. **Using AI strategically to support pivots, experimentation, and smarter workflows** This is not a lecture or pitch — it’s a grounded founder conversation for people who want to grow smarter and build work that lasts. Expect practical thinking, humor, and takeaways you can use immediately. *** ## Event Details 💵 $20 RSVP — includes coffee + snacks 📍 Ashburn, VA (exact address shared after RSVP) 🕑 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM 👥 Max 15 attendees — intentionally small for meaningful conversation Most attendees are professionals, founders, and growth-minded builders navigating reinvention, pivots, or startup ideas. *** ## About the Space — Startup Garage Style Hosted in my early-founder style startup garage — a **bright, spacious, comfortable Ashburn living room** designed for focused conversation and practical learning. These sessions are intentionally intimate — closer to a founder roundtable than a seminar. *** ## Background — Corporate to Founder Journey After **21 years in corporate tech leadership**, including senior director role, I transitioned into full-time entrepreneurship, building on years of startup and side-hustle experience. If you’re exploring a career pivot or next chapter, you’ll find this conversation highly practical. *** ## 🔗 Builder Ecosystem & Resources 🌐 Website: [https://midlifereinvention.co](https://midlifereinvention.co) ▶ YouTube (300K+ views): [https://www.youtube.com/@midlife_mindfulness](https://www.youtube.com/@midlife_mindfulness) 💼 LinkedIn (4K+ followers): [https://www.linkedin.com/in/anju-debnath-0061524/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anju-debnath-0061524/) 🤝 Meetup Community: [https://www.meetup.com/ashburn-transition-meetup-group/](https://www.meetup.com/ashburn-transition-meetup-group/) 📚 Amazon Author Page (2 Books published, more on the way): [https://www.amazon.com/stores/Anju-Debnath/author/B0FFNBVZLQ](https://www.amazon.com/stores/Anju-Debnath/author/B0FFNBVZLQ) Everything shared comes from lived founder experience — not theory. *** **Space is intentionally limited to ensure focused discussion, interactive learning, and practical takeaways you can use immediately.**
