Encontro In-person para prática de conversação em Inglês: Conversation meeting
Meeting tradicional do English Brazil para a prática do inglês em encontros presenciais.
Esse é um meeting que já é tradicional. Nos reunimos sempre em um local público para praticar conversação em inglês, e ficamos do lado de uma cafeteria para que você possa comprar o seu café enquanto conversa com a gente.
O objetivo é criar um ambiente descontraído e amigável para que todos possam praticar o inglês sem pressão. Não importa se você é iniciante ou avançado, todos são bem-vindos! Não é necessário confirmar presença, e o valor é de graça, também não cobramos nada para participar. Apenas apareça, mostre interesse, e alguém irá te convidar para puxar uma cadeira para perto da mesa para praticarmos.
Tradicionalmente nos reunimos sempre às sextas-feiras, dentro do Shopping Center 3 (ao lado da estação Consolação do metrô), no térreo, em frente à cafeteria Havanna Café. Sempre das 20h00 às 22h00, quando o shopping fecha. Então, se quiser praticar a conversação em inglês em um ambiente amigável e sem precisar estabelecer nenhum compromisso, este é o local certo!
\-\-\-
And foreigners are also welcome!
We Brazilians always have a very healthy curiosity to learn about your ideas, your experiences, and the differences in customs and languages. We are also, by nature, very willing to help foreigners feel more at ease here in Brazil. It's also a great opportunity to network and meet locals who can make you feel at home.
We always meet on Fridays, inside Shopping Center 3 (next to Consolação subway station), on the ground floor, in front of the Havanna Café. Always from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, when the mall closes.
Karaokê de feriado - Siga lá vaca
Feriado chegando — ótima oportunidade pra sair da rotina e curtir um Karaokê top com a galera!
A proposta é um encontro leve e descontraído no Siga La Vaca, um dos melhores karaokês de São Paulo. A ideia é reunir a galera pra cantar, dar risada, conhecer gente nova e aproveitar a noite.
Além de karaokê o lugar também eh um restaurante e conta com atendimento na mesa. Vamos ficar numa sala (com ar condicionado) compartilhada em uma mesa nossa (com até 20 pessoas), e com outras mesas de outras pessoas e dividiremos o mesmo karaokê com elas. O preço eh R$ 30 seco a entrada.
Não sabe cantar? Eh desafinado? Soh canta no chuveiro? Vc canta no tom enquanto a banda no jerry? Então você eh a pessoa certa nesse role! 😅
Mas caso na queria cantar, vale ir soh pra assistir , conversar e entrar no clima. O ambiente é divertido e perfeito pra socializar de forma natural.
Se você curte música, boas risadas e um rolê mais espontâneo, esse encontro é pra você 🎤🎶

Talk AGI-risk in multi language Meetup / falar sobre o risco da IA
-Multilingual Open Discussion on the Future of Artificial Intelligence
-especially talk about AGI risk
-CCSP cafe
### Open Multilingual Discussion on the Future of AI
Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly.
Many experts believe **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** — AI that could outperform humans in most intellectual tasks — may emerge within decades, or possibly sooner.
This raises important questions:
* Could AGI bring major scientific progress and prosperity?
* What risks might arise if powerful AI systems are not aligned with human values?
* How should society prepare for such transformative technologies?
Researchers and organizations such as the Future of Life Institute and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute study these issues under the fields of **AGI risk** and **AI alignment**.
Yet these discussions often remain limited to experts.
This event aims to **open the conversation to everyone**.
***
## Event Concept
**AGI Risk São Paulo** is an informal in-person gathering where people from different backgrounds discuss the future of AI.
You do **not** need to be an expert.
Participants may include:
* Engineers and researchers
* Entrepreneurs and students
* Artists and philosophers
* Curious beginners
* Anyone interested in the future of humanity and technology
The goal is **dialogue**, not lectures.
***
## Multilingual Discussion
To reflect São Paulo’s diversity, discussion may take place in multiple languages:
* Portuguese
* English
* Japanese
* Spanish
Participants are encouraged to switch languages freely.
***
## Possible Topics
* What is AGI and how close are we?
* AI safety and alignment
* The long-term future of humanity
* Governance and regulation of AI
* Economic and social impacts of advanced AI
No prior knowledge is required — **curiosity is enough**.
***
**Location:** São Paulo
**Format:** Informal in-person discussion
**Languages:** Multilingual
**Level:** Beginner friendly
If you are curious about the future of AI,
**join the conversation.**

### Discussão Aberta Multilíngue sobre o Futuro da IA
A Inteligência Artificial está avançando rapidamente.
Muitos especialistas acreditam que a **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** — uma IA capaz de superar humanos na maioria das tarefas intelectuais — pode surgir nas próximas décadas, ou até antes.
Isso levanta questões importantes:
* A AGI poderá trazer grande progresso científico e prosperidade?
* Que riscos podem surgir se sistemas de IA muito poderosos não estiverem alinhados com valores humanos?
* Como a sociedade deve se preparar para tecnologias tão transformadoras?
Pesquisadores e organizações como a Future of Life Institute e a Machine Intelligence Research Institute estudam essas questões nos campos de **AGI risk** e **alinhamento de IA**.
No entanto, essas discussões muitas vezes ficam restritas a especialistas.
Este evento quer **abrir essa conversa para todos**.
***
## Conceito do Evento
**AGI Risk São Paulo** é um encontro presencial e informal para discutir o futuro da IA.
**Não é necessário ser especialista.**
São bem-vindos:
* Engenheiros e pesquisadores
* Empreendedores e estudantes
* Artistas e filósofos
* Iniciantes curiosos
* Qualquer pessoa interessada no futuro da humanidade e da tecnologia
O objetivo é **diálogo**, não palestras.
***
## Discussão Multilíngue
Para refletir a diversidade de São Paulo, a conversa pode acontecer em vários idiomas:
* Português
* Inglês
* Japonês
* Espanhol
Os participantes podem alternar idiomas livremente.
***
## Possíveis Temas
* O que é AGI e quão perto estamos dela?
* Segurança e alinhamento da IA
* O futuro de longo prazo da humanidade
* Governança e regulação da IA
* Impactos econômicos e sociais da IA
Não é necessário conhecimento prévio — **basta curiosidade**.
***
**Local:** São Paulo
**Formato:** Encontro presencial informal
**Idiomas:** Multilíngue
**Nível:** Aberto para iniciantes
Se você tem curiosidade sobre o futuro da IA,
**venha participar da conversa.**

Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People
**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People**
Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside.
In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison.
Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are.
Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned.
**What is Confidence Lab?**
Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.
Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work.
It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact.
***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
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.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

CBusData: The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
The Fellowship of the Star Schema: Transforming OLTP Data for Power BI
One does not simply build reports on OLTP data. Join us on an epic journey from the depths of raw, normalized tables to the shining halls of a well-modeled star schema fit for Power BI greatness. We will demystify the differences between OLTP and OLAP, walk through star schema vs snowflake (and why Power BI has a clear favorite), and show you the compression differences between normalized and columnar storage that will make you never look at an OLTP model the same way again.
We will cover the different types of dimensions, when to use them, and how to handle Slowly Changing Dimensions without losing your mind. You will leave knowing exactly how to identify a bad model, how to convert OLTP data into a clean star schema, and how to forge relationships that rule them all.
Whether you are a data wizard, a curious hobbit, or somewhere in between, your models will never be the same.

Let's sip on fine wine and discuss our first book **The 5AM Club- Own Your Morning Elevate Your Life, by Robin Sharma**. We will pair this book with our favorite wine at **Wine on High** and engage in thought-provoking discussions on startup businesses and entrepreneurship, and network with like-minded individuals in a cozy book club setting.
Come prepared to discuss this month's book. At the end of each book club meeting, we will take next book and venue suggestions from the participants for the next meeting.
Whether you are a book lover, women entrepreneur, or a content creator, this event is perfect for sharing ideas and insights with other funders and founders in the entrepreneurial world. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. Sign up now to reserve your spot!
*Fun fact! This meetup was established in 2015 and had over 1,000 members. I had to shut down operations while attending law school, but we're back!!*
