**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)**

* 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)

Conversation with an animal rescuer + spend the day with Horses! 🐎🐴
**[The 5 CHF fee goes as a donation to the sanctuary. Non-vegans are encouraged to join. ]**
An encounter with an inspiring human can be life-changing. Their resilience, hard work, courage and unwavering dedication can awaken something within ourselves and motivate us to go on even in difficult times. In this very special event, we introduce you to *Beatrice Hunkeler,* who has built a sanctuary near Luzern that is a safe home to numerous horses, ponies, sheep, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats 🐴🐑🐰 and creates a natural habitat and eco-friendly environment for wildlife.
**About Beatrice:** Beatrice has rescued and single-handedly cared for over 80 animals in the last 10 years. An economist and tax lawyer by profession, she works full-time for her own consulting company and uses all of her free time to care for her rescued animals and advocate for the rights of animals and the protection of nature. Her Verein “Lebenshof Spirito Elvetico” is an organization dedicated to saving animals in need as well as education and awareness around animal welfare and plant-based living.
**The event:** We will visit Beatrice’s sanctuary, hear her story, and spend meaningful time with the animals. Beatrice will share her journey—how she began, what sustained her through difficult times, where her work stands today, and raise problematic topics.
You will hear the stories of individual animals she has rescued, how they have flourished in safety and care, and about the effect this work has had on Beatrice’s own life. She will also highlight her learnings and experiences over the years and will give us a glimpse into the inner worlds of equines, these intelligent and big but gentle animals. 🌿🐴
**Why join?** Few of us truly grasp the physical, mental and emotional demands of rescue work or the strength required to face cruelty and suffering we cannot always prevent. Beatrice embodies extraordinary resilience, emotional courage, and unwavering faith in purpose. The sanctuary she has built stands as a haven of kindness in an often cruel and indifferent world.
Several of our members have already visited this remarkable place and felt compelled to share it with our community. This event offers ***two unique opportunities:*** **first**, witnessing what one person can achieve and how this experience may awaken your own sense of purpose and inspire meaningful change in your life.
**Second**, spending time with innocent, intelligent and sentient non-human beings in their natural environment can ground us and reconnect us with what truly matters. ✨ Beyond personal growth, this event is simply a chance to share a meaningful and enjoyable experience with new and old friends—both human and animal.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
[**Important** **Note:** To avoid no-shows and thank Beatrice for hosting us, the event requires a fee of 5 CHF, which will go entirely as a donation to the sanctuary and be used for the care of the animals we meet. You can pay it directly to Beatrice at the venue. If you want to join but are tight on money, write me a DM and we can discuss an exception for you. If you are capable and like the sanctuary, you can consider increasing your donation. 💛 ]

**Logistics:** For those travelling from Zürich, we will meet **at Zürich HB** and use the train journey to Luzern (followed by a short bus ride) for some chit chat and socializing. We will take the **IR 70 connection at 10.10 a.m.** 🚂
We have a coach reserved for us on the train (look for the coach with the name "Simran Meet Up Group"). Please arrive well in advance to allow enough time to find us and a seat for yourself. We will likely stand outside this coach until 10.00 and then go inside.
In Luzern, we will split into two groups to take the bus: the first group takes the **B50 bus at 11.05**, and the second group takes the **B52 bus at 11.35**. The event will begin around 12.10. If you want to arrive independently, the address of the sanctuary is: **Lebenshof Spirito Elvetico**, Schroten 1,
6023 Rothenburg.
Please bring a **packed lunch, water bottle, and snacks** for yourself. The venue has place to sit together and eat.

Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit - Barret Blake
**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
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
*Spec-Driven Development with GitHub Spec-Kit: From Intent to Implementation*
Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification.
You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written.
This talk will cover:
--What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t)
--How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows
--Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development
--Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence
Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.
