PIXELS2GENAI EXHIBITION
Some friends of PyData are organising the following event, and we think it would be great to share it with the community.
Pixels2GenAI is an exhibition by software developers creating computer art. We have used equations, algorithms, and AI models to generate images and
installations. The artists explore the space between hand-programmed images, the aesthetics of mathematical rules, and AI as an art-making tool. Works by the following artists will be on display:
* Burak Kağan Yılmazer
* Sara Maras
* Alexander Hendorf

Origami on the Road: Hygge & Folds 🇩🇰
Origami on the Road goes live again next month, and our first stop this year will be Copenhagen! **[Next House Copenhagen](https://www.nexthousecopenhagen.com/)** is a vibrant, modern hostel designed as a social hub rather than just a place to stay. Known for its stylish interiors, creative lounges, and lively community vibe, it brings together travellers and locals through music, events, and shared spaces — making it an ideal setting for relaxed, social experiences like our origami gathering!
Here's an overview of what you could expect:
* **Mandatory donation (amount of your choice)** – this supports essential costs like the Meetup subscription and keeps our community thriving 🌱 You can either submit a **physical donation** to the event host in person or make a **digital donation** **[here](https://paypal.me/origamiberlin?locale.x=de_DE&country.x=DE)** (and inform the host afterwards).
* In-person folding practice for all levels – beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome.
* Origami paper + model instructions will be provided (from the host’s collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools!
* Photos may be taken for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) – let the host know if you prefer not to appear.
* **We kindly encourage everyone to buy at least one drink to support [Metis Books & Café](https://www.instagram.com/metis.cafe.berlin?igsh=MXBzbnpoMXN5c3A0bQ==) for hosting us!**
⚠️ **RSVP Policy – Please Read** ⚠️
Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing — but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully:
* RSVP opens **7 days before** each event (apart from short-notice events) and closes at **noon on the event day**.
* Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/+T4URs80l2ig3NWNi)) by **noon on the event day** if you can't make it last minute.
* Members with **2 no-shows** (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided.
Thank you for helping us keep our origami community respectful, reliable, and fun! 🙏
Get in touch if you have questions anytime and see you all at the folding tables very soon! 🇩🇰
Drawing Cafe [#13] Coffee & Sketching in Berlin
We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group.
**How Does It Work?**
This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually.
**Structure**
A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute.
B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes.
C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other.
**Who We Are**
Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin.
**Is it Free?**
The event is free of charge.
It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50.
**How to help or donate?**
The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message.

Portray & be portrayed outside of ICC!
Let's have a "Portray and Be Portrayed" outside of **Internationales Congress Centrum (ICC)** to enrich our portraits with futuristic, high-tech urban backdrops and mood!
During this event, you'll experience both sides of the lens: **being a photographer and a model**.
➔ Please only join if you're comfortable being photographed by other participants!
* We will rotate roles so there is **only one active model** at a time.
* You'll work in small groups of 3–5 people
* This format is inspired by our successful TFP (Time for Photos) sessions.
Check out the reel from our first "Portray and Be Portrayed" event:

📅 **Itinerary**
**12:00 -** Meet in the designated spots near ICC. We’ll assign groups for P&BP, and the photography session will kick off. As a group, you’ll have full autonomy to coordinate.
**15:00 -** We will meet back at the starting spot. We might go somewhere together afterwards to discuss the day’s photos, share photography tips, and chat casually in smaller groups.
📸 **Photography session requirements**
* **Bring a dedicated camera (mobile phones won’t suffice).**
* **Have at least a basic understanding of portrait photography**.
* Share your photos with others upon request—we’d love to feature your shots in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/RAteAwHmMa)! Check below for sharing guidelines.
⚠️ **Obligations for "Portray & be portrayed" participants**
* Be available to collaborate with fellow participants after the event.
* Share your photos with others if requested.
* We recommend using [PicFlow](https://picflow.com/) to finalize photos that work for both parties. 😊
**Sharing Guidelines:**
* You’re welcome to post event photos in our dedicated #portrait-photography [Discord](https://discord.gg/RAteAwHmMa) channel without permission (unless a community member asks to hide specific photos).
* For public social media (e.g., Instagram), you must get mutual permission from either the photographer or the model before posting.
**❗Sharing photos from this event on Discord & WhatsApp is mandatory!**
Because after the last few events, hardly anyone shared their photos from the event, **we would like to adjust the rules:**
Due to the nature of this event, as part of the **mutual** exchange, every participant must share their photos from this event if they would like to join our future events.

# FAQs
**Do all ideas have a chance at getting funded?**
Not all ideas will move forward after initial pitches on Saturday. Once pitches are complete, we’ll vote for top ideas and form teams around the 4 – 7 ideas with the most votes. You must recruit **at least four total team members** (including the founder) to move forward and have a chance at getting funded on Sunday. If your idea doesn’t move forward, you can join another team!
**Do I have to submit my idea online prior to the event?**
Unlike previous years, we don’t have the option to submit your idea online prior to the event. Instead, everyone will be going through a brainstorming exercise on Saturday that’ll help you prepare for your initial pitch.
**Will we be working for 24 hours straight?**
Nope. The event is split over two days. You’ll be building on Saturday and pitching on Sunday.
**Do I have to pitch an idea?**
Nope. You can also simply join a team.
**What types of entrepreneurs does GBH support?**
While GBH most often works with technology startups, we support *any* organization (for- or non-profit) that makes an impact on health in the US or across the world.
Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

How LLMs Like ChatGPT Actually Work and How to Build With Them
**First meetup of the Columbus AI Engineering group.**
We’ll kick things off with a practical, beginner-friendly discussion on:
**How LLMs like ChatGPT actually work — and how to build real applications with them.**
We’ll cover:
* what’s actually happening under the hood (at a high level)
* why LLMs behave the way they do (hallucinations, prompt sensitivity, etc.)
* how people are building real systems with them today
* where things break in practice
This will be a **short, informal talk (\~15–20 min)** followed by open discussion and Q&A.
Whether you’re an engineer, builder, or just curious about how modern AI systems work, you’re welcome to join.
No slides, no fluff — just real conversation about real systems.
We’ll hang out afterward and get to know each other.
