I’m really looking forward to our next **Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations User Group (DUG) Ireland session** — happening on Wednesday June 17th **at Microsoft Dublin**.
This group has become such a valuable space for sharing ideas, challenges, and real solutions across the D365 community, and I’m delighted to now be co-leading it.
This session will be all about reconnecting, exchanging insights, and shaping what *you* want to see from DUG Ireland in 2025 — from automation wins and feature deep dives to real-world rollout stories.
### 📅 Event Details
* **Date:** Wednesday June 17th
* **Location:** Microsoft Ireland, Dublin
* **Time:** 10:00 – 13:00
### 📌 Agenda
To be confirmed — and shaped by you
If you’re part of the D365 F&O world — functional, technical, or somewhere in between — this is your crowd.
Please RSVP so we can plan numbers, and feel free to share with anyone who’d enjoy being part of the conversation.
Really looking forward to seeing you there and building out an exciting year ahead together.

Bikablo Face to Face! (PAID course)
Even when you believe you have no artistic talent – this is where you learn the basic visual vocabulary and ingredients for visualisation with the bikablo® technique. For example, drawing simple flipchart templates that you can use in your work the next day!
What’s more, you will have WorkVisible’s Francesco Bianchi as your trainer, to boost your learning in the room! For the first time, WorkVisible are open to the public in Dublin, to provide you with a first class in-person bikablo learning experience. You don't want to miss this!
**What to expect in our two-day visual facilitation training?**
Francesco will conduct the bikablo basics two-day-training-format, focusing on learning the bikablo visualisation technique and its application in presentation, facilitation, recording and knowledge-sharing. Whatever your experience in visual thinking, you are warmly welcome!
No matter how small or big your talent or experience, you will learn how to use small details to make large spaces look clear, attractive, and lively. Throughout the day Francesco will take plenty of time to answer your questions and guide you into the world of visual language with guidance and techniques suited to fit your individual progress.
***What does this mean in practice? We'll cover the following topics:***
**Holding the pen and drawing the line:** How do I draw clean lines and structure my space on the flipchart?
**Graphics and text containers:** How do I create simple arrows and connecting elements from basic geometric shapes in order to present related topics? Which text containers (e.g. speech bubbles) can be used to support which kinds of messages? Objects and symbols: How do I draw simple symbols to underline messages? What is essential, what can be left out?
**People:** What easy ways do bikablo® provide to draw people, roles, groups and situations? Colour and space: What are simple and fast options to colour elements and spaces in a quick and simple way that supports the graphic structure?
**Writing:** How do I improve my handwriting on the flipchart to make it more legible and attractive?
**Live scribing:** How can I use easy step-by-step techniques to record a dialogue in real-time and enhance a recorded poster with a key visual?
**Posters and settings:** How do I combine the ingredients (graphics, writing, symbols, figures, and colour) to create to the point visual translations of content and meaningful posters for different purposes (welcome, agenda, instructions, group work)?
***You’ll also receive the gifts below as part of the training:***
**bikablo® Starterset:** Every participant receives the official bikablo StarterSet including four visualisation markers and two StarterBooklets that summarise the principles, content and techniques of the training on 64 pages. So you can start using them as soon as you're back from the training!
**Documentation:** For your follow-up, you will receive a digital photo documentation of all results.
**!! NOTE !!: This is a paid, in person event delivered over 2 days.** Link to book here: [https://workvisiblestudios.com/upcoming-courses/p/bikablo-face-to-face-dublin-17th-18th-june](https://workvisiblestudios.com/upcoming-courses/p/bikablo-face-to-face-dublin-17th-18th-june)

**Previous Feedback -** Rishmita Aich
"I loved how inclusive, informative, and open the community was. I've been to professional networking events before, and sometimes they tend to get a bit cliquey (when too many senior execs or startup founders are involved), but I was really glad this wasn't like that at all!"
**The Organiser**
I’m an innovator in digital business for 25 years, including starting and selling a personal brand side hustle called 'Connector'.
Recently, I published a book about the Future of Work, introducing the idea of Career Assets, as the Career Ladder is broken. I will have some copies of 'Learn Earn Own' available at a special offer price of €10 if you want a signed copy.

Dublin German Speakers (learners Stammtisch)
This group is for people who don't feel their German is strong enough for the Deutsch Sprechen Stammtisch. Anyone from complete beginner to native German speaker is welcome. All you need is a willingness to learn and speak German (or as much German as you can) and a willingness to help and be patient with other people who have less German than you have. The aim of this group is to build the confidence as well as ability to speak German in real life situations with others.
I need to confirm the exact number with the restaurant management, so please keep your RSVP up to date :)
DDS Talks at Zalando
Dublin Data Science is having an event in Zalando for June. Zalando is one of the top Europe’s leading online fashion platform, connecting 62 million active customers with more than 7,000 brands across 29 markets.
We will have two talks: one from Senior Data Scientist at Zalando, Alex Martinelli, and one from DDS regular Duncan Healy.
**Talk 1:**
**Data Science at Zalando**
and a non-hyped view on how we optimize the use of LLMs for different tasks
In this talk I'll provide an overview of the data-science work happening in Zalando, focusing on core projects built right here in our Dublin office, including product-matching, product-tagging, and Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis (ABSA) for customer reviews. While the rapid evolution of LLMs has made them powerful tools for these tasks, we adopt and evaluate them carefully. I will discuss our practical, balanced approach to adopting and evaluating LLMs, demonstrating how we integrate them into our existing pipelines to achieve optimal performance while keeping infrastructure costs in check.
Alex Martinelli is a senior data-scientist at Zalando, previously worked for IBM-Watson. Mainly focusing on representation-learning, computer-vision and generative-models.
Additional hobbies and interests include procedural-computer-graphics in Blender, drawing and lucid-dreaming.
**Talk 2:**
**How to Tame the Dragons of Data**
Duncan Healy is a freelancer and DDS regular, he made the mistake of pontificating too often about LLMs and databases and now has to give a talk about it.

OpenClaw: Making it useful
Your OpenClaw is running. It replies. Maybe it's done a few things you've asked it to.
Now make it genuinely useful.
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register on here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw2](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw2)**
This is the second day in the OpenClaw series. We're going deeper: memory that actually persists across conversations, a knowledge base it can draw on, skills that connect it to the tools you already use, and workflows that handle a whole process end to end. These are the things that turn an interesting agent into something you actually rely on.
Self-directed, table-group format. You work at your own pace, in your own direction, with people around you doing the same.
**What we'll work through together**
* Memory architecture: short-term, long-term, episodic and how to set them up properly
* Knowledge bases: connecting your own docs and notes so the agent can draw on them
* Good skills to add: which integrations are worth the effort (Notion, email, calendar, GitHub)
* Giving access to tools: MCP, APIs, function calling
* Proper workflows: multi-step, conditional, handling a whole process and not just one message
* Sandboxing: running actions safely without breaking things or leaking data
**NOTE: Registration invalid on meetup. Please register on here for a valid ticket: [www.giveago.co/register/openclaw2](https://giveago.co/register/openclaw2)**
You don't need to have come to Event 1. If you have OpenClaw running, you're ready for this.
Bring a laptop. Bring your OpenClaw running.

Do you have broken items at home, small appliances, toys, electronics, household bits and pieces, or something that just needs a bit of care?
No need to throw them away just yet. Bring them along, and our volunteer fixers will do their best to help. We will have tools, materials, and a team of people who enjoy opening things up, figuring out what went wrong, and sharing repair skills along the way.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus

Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)

Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code - Alan Barber
**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**
*Customize the IDE: Building Extensions for Visual Studio Code*
Visual Studio Code is one of the most widely used development environments today, and much of its flexibility comes from its extension ecosystem. Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs.
In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling.
The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options.

AI Agents 101: How to Make ChatGPT Do Actual Work
Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat.
But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review.
In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity.
We’ll cover:
* What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot
* How agents break tasks into steps
* Where agents are genuinely useful today
* Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review
* How to design simple AI workflows for your own work
* A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish
No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
Prototype, Play, and Build Workshops (In-Person @GameArena)
We're going to GameArena! We'll be in-person at the GameArena Gateway for our monthly COGG Prototype and Play event. Come to play and showcase your games!
We're back in the upper levels of the catwalk area. It'll be packed with lots of camaraderie playing your game(s) and other's games on the 2nd floor. Light snacks and water provided but you can buy food and drinks at the bar (alcoholic drink ID required).
[www.game-arena.co](http://www.game-arena.co/)
**Attendees:**
Don't have a game to show? Not a problem! All are welcomed and invited from all ages and backgrounds. The more we can have to play test our games is all the better!
**Developers:**
Do you have a game that you would like to get critical feedback on? Would you like an excuse to work on a game with other talented artists, programmers, musicians, designers, and writers? Digital, table-top, non-experienced developers, and the like are welcomed! We'll provide signage for your game to help others learn more about your work. Wifi, outlets, tables, and seats (though standing tables also) are available.
Come to the Prototype and Play workshop to collaborate and meet local game developers for an evening of epic and raw game play fun! Play works-in-progress, show off your own game, work with others to add polish to a game, or even lend your talents to other fellow developers. For this event, light snacks from the bar and water will be provided!
Though you can purchase you own if you like at the bar:
