Make Friends: Not Small Talk - Deep talks & Coffee | đCulture Shock Therapy
EspaĂąol Abajo
**âď¸ Coffee Talk: Where Conversations Are Stronger Than the Coffee âď¸**
Had enough of awkward small talk and silent social gatherings? This is your chance to break free. Join us for a night of meaningful conversations about life, dreams, existential crises, and why we keep procrastinating our goals.
\*\* What to expect?\*\*
âď¸ Thought-provoking questions (but not too deep, we promise).
âď¸ Interesting people with zero interest in discussing traffic.
âď¸ Interactive dynamics that push you out of your comfort zoneâwithout feeling like a job interview.
If you're ready for an evening of deep conversations, great coffee, and a dash of sarcastic humor, save your spot before you regret it (again).
**Where?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (because coffee without great conversations is just wasted caffeine).
**How much?** $5,000 ARS / $5 USD (yes, genuine connections have a price, but theyâre worth every cent).

**âď¸Coffee Talk: Donde las Conversaciones Son MĂĄs Fuertes que el CafĂŠâď¸**
Si ya tuviste suficiente de las mismas charlas de ascensor y los silencios incĂłmodos en reuniones sociales, este es tu evento. AquĂ venimos a hablar de todo lo que realmente importa: la vida, los sueĂąos, las crisis existenciales y por quĂŠ seguimos procrastinando nuestras metas.
\*\* ÂżQuĂŠ puedes esperar?\*\*
âď¸ Preguntas que te harĂĄn pensar (pero no demasiado, prometemos).
âď¸ Gente interesante con cero ganas de hablar del trĂĄfico.
âď¸ DinĂĄmicas interactivas que te sacarĂĄn de tu zona de confort sin hacerte sentir en una entrevista de trabajo.
Si estĂĄs listo para una tarde de conversaciones profundas con cafĂŠ en mano y un toque de humor sarcĂĄstico, reserva tu lugar antes de que te arrepientas (otra vez).
**ÂżDĂłnde?** Diletto â PerĂłn 4217 (porque el cafĂŠ sin buenas conversaciones es solo cafeĂna desperdiciada).
**ÂżCuĂĄnto?** $5.000 ARS / $5 USD (sĂ, las conexiones genuinas tienen su precio, pero valen cada centavo).

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.

So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
⢠A demo
⢠A real-world business solution
⢠A bold idea
⢠A UX transformation
⢠Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
đ Business Value
đ Innovation
⨠User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time⌠youâll be on stage.
Shut Up & Write!ÂŽ Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One CafĂŠ, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Sunday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
⢠What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! Weâve discovered that itâs strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itâs true for you at noon on Sundays.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
12:00 - quick intros.
12:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
1:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 1-1:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
⢠What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The CafĂŠ on Sunday!
