Webnesday: AI-Agents | SSE | Instant Payment
Der zweite Webnesday im 2026 steht an. Der Event findet am 3. Juni 2026 um 19:00 bei smartive an der Multergasse 26 statt.
**smartcode — Autonome AI-Agents mit Docker** \| by Mauro von [smartive](https://smartive.ch/)
Was passiert, wenn AI-Agents plötzlich selbst Dependencies installieren, Tests ausführen und parallel entwickeln können — komplett isoliert in ihrer eigenen Umgebung?
**Server Sent Events (SSE)** \| by Roman von Migros\-Genossenschafts\-Bund
Im Schatten von AI Agents hat sich auch eine andere Technologie rasend Verbreitet: Server Sent Events bilden das Rückgrat und ermöglichen die schrittweise aktualisierung der Antworten, sobald der jeweils nächste Teil der Antwort bereitsteht. Und das auf eine elegant einfache Weise. Ich zeige euch, wie ihr Server Sent Events nutzen könnt, um eure eigenen Echtzeit-Anwendungen zu bauen und was es dabei zu Beachten gibt. Perfekt, wenn ihr in eurem Dashboard die Warenkörbe der Kunden verfolgen oder euer Scrum-Poker in die nächste Liga heben wollt.
**Instant Payment: Die Zukunft an der Kasse?** \| by [Jan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jan--meier/) von [achtpunkt](https://achtpunkt.ch/)
Kreditkarte, Twint, Apple Pay… wir bezahlen längst digital. Doch all diese Lösungen haben zwei Dinge gemeinsam: Keine dieser Methoden überweist das Geld in Echtzeit und bei jeder Transaktion kassiert ein Drittanbieter mit.
Was wäre, wenn eine Zahlung direkt von Bankkonto zu Bankkonto fliesst, ohne Drittanbieter (und ohne Gebühren)? Hmm, da war doch mal was mit Instant Payment, oder? Wir schauen kurz an, was Instant Payment ist, und ich zeige anhand eines Proof of Concept, wie Bezahlen mit Instant Payment in Geschäften, in Hofläden oder in Onlineshops aussehen könnte und wie der technische Aufbau dahinter ist.
Wie immer habt ihr nach den Talks noch Zeit, eure Ideen und Fragen bei einem Bier und Snack (wenn das Wetter mitspielt auf der wunderschönen Terasse) zu besprechen. Vielen Dank an [smartive](https://smartive.ch/) fürs Sponsoring!
Bitte meldet euch an, sagt es weiter und kommt zahlreich - wir freuen uns auf euch!

Open Heart Meditation with Amrita Rani
Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Amrita Rani
(Live Online on Selected Thursdays via Zoom)
You are warmly invited to join the Open Heart Meditation Sessions with Acharya Amrita Rani — a living space of awakenings and direct experience.
These sessions are created both for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to deepen their meditation practice, stabilize awakening, and walk the path of enlightenment with guidance and support. Whether you are new or experienced, each gathering offers a grounded structure to help you build consistency in daily practice and grow in confidence on your spiritual path.
At the heart of Open Heart teachings is direct recognition. Through the Two-Part Formula and precise meditative guidance, you are supported in shifting from self-based mode into selfless awareness, again and again, until cessation of suffering takes place.
A central and deeply transformative practice in Open Heart is guru yoga. Through guru yoga, the practitioner directly connects with awakened awareness through devotion, transmission, and experiential recognition. With the help of this profound method, one recognizes their true selfless ease, the natural, effortless state beyond space and time.
Alongside guru yoga, the sessions include insight meditation (Vipashyana), tantric methods, dynamic concentration, trauma-healing techniques, and foundational practices such as Bodhicitta prayers. Each session includes guided meditation, space for questions, reflection, and personal support.
Rani’s meditation sessions are held live on Zoom on selected Thursdays from 18:30 to 20:00 (CET). Recordings may be available for continued integration and practice on her YouTube channel, The Sweetness of Enlightenment.
Participation fee:
15 € per session
Please make your payment in advance via PayPal before joining, to Rani’s PayPal account: kaisaeskeli@gmail.com

Seilpark Atzmännig
Lust auf Abenteuer zwischen den Baumwipfeln?
Wir machen gemeinsam den Seilpark Atzmännig unsicher!
Ob du zum ersten Mal kletterst oder schon fast wie Tarzan durch die Lüfte schwingst - hier findest du deinen Weg über schwankende Brücken, wackelige Netze und luftige Höhen. Alles ist vorbereitet. Die Seile sind
gespannt. Du musst dich nur noch einhängen.
Nach dem Klettern lassen wir den Tag beim gemeinsamen Grillen ausklingen und kommen ins Gespräch: "Wer bereitet eigentlich Wege für uns vor? Und was heißt es, sich auf etwas einzulassen, das andere schon gesichert haben?" Ein Tag für Kopf, Herz, Muskelkater - und echte Gemeinschaft.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
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!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.

Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Finding Product Insights
**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose**
Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap.
Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn:
* Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge
* How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change
* Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction
* How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools
This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work.
**About Our Speaker**
[Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
