Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

A practical workshop for those who want to run more effective conversations that create clarity, strengthen ownership and improve performance.

**“¿Cómo conseguimos grandes diseñadores? Los grandes diseñadores diseñan, por supuesto.”** *Fred Brooks* **“Entonces, ¿cómo se supone que vamos a conseguir grandes arquitectos si solo tienen la oportunidad de ser arquitectos menos de media docena de veces en su carrera?”** *Ted Neward* ¡Estamos de vuelta con otra [kata focalizada en diseño de sistemas](https://www.architecturalkatas.com/)! 🎉 ¿Qué es una [kata de arquitectura](https://continuous-architecture.org/docs/rituals/architecture-kata.html)? En pocas palabras, los katas de arquitectura son ejercicios diseñados para maximizar el esfuerzo en arquitectura, minimizar los costes innecesarios y completar todos los elementos críticos que un ejercicio de arquitectura debe incluir: un cliente, restricciones del proyecto, requisitos cambiantes, compañer@s y un proceso de revisión. No se requiere experiencia previa en diseño de sistemas o arquitectura. No tener experiencia puede ser incluso más beneficioso: no tendrás ideas preexistentes sobre cómo “debería” hacerse. *El idioma principal será el 🇪🇸 y podemos acomodarnos al 🇬🇧 según asistentes.* **📅 Agenda** * 18:30-18:45. Bienvenida de [eDreams ODIGEO](https://www.edreamsodigeo.com/es/). * 18:45-20:00. Introducción breve a la kata, **cell-based architecture** **y sus diferencias con microservicios**. Después trabajaremos en grupos pequeños, de 3 a 5 personas, sobre un escenario ficticio pero realista que revelaremos durante el evento. Finalmente, pondremos en común las soluciones propuestas. * 20:30-21:00.

When I moved to Barcelona, I worked long hours and somehow still couldn't find people to actually practice Spanish with. ​I tried courses. I tried Duolingo and Babbel. They all felt the same: awkward exercises about topics I didn't care about, completely disconnected from my real life. ​So I figured out my own method. It worked. I learned Spanish in 4 months, and I'm now accelerating my French, not in a classroom but by integrating the language into my daily life. ​That's exactly what I'm sharing in this free 1-hour session. ​**What you'll walk away with:** * ​Why traditional methods get you stuck at the intermediate level * ​The one thing that actually moves the needle (it's not more tutoring) * ​Daily practices you can start tomorrow - built around your life, not a textbook ​**Who's this for:** * ​You've been learning a language but got stuck somewhere between A2 and B2 * ​You want to actually use the language, not spend years chasing perfection * ​You're open to rethinking how you learn ​**Logistics:** We'll meet at Sandwichez to have a Coffee all together and talk about our language experience.

Buenas! (English below) Cada día aparecen formas nuevas de aprender español, (y otros idiomas) apps nuevas, métodos de gramática, IA, videos de profes explicando cosas, y están todas genial. Si te ayudan a entender más y a hablar mejor están genial. El plan de este grupo es mejorar tu español con juegos, actividades reales y ejercicios para hablar más. Con la excusa de los juegos y las actividades corregimos la mayoría de errores: Palabras difíciles, confundir pasados, preposiciones, verbos que significan muchas cosas, ser y estar en pasado, frases con dos verbos o mas, subjuntivo, expresiones coloquiales, y también los errores "culturales”: ¿De que forma usamos los españoles el idioma en diferentes situaciones? La gente que participa es (casi siempre) muy simpática, y normalmente deja reviews muy positivas de las clases. Si te cuadra el plan ven a practicar tu español y hablamos de comida, de viajes, de trabajo, de cultura, de Internet, de temas locales, de noticias y de muchas más cosas. Para participar hay una contribución de solo 10€ por persona/ clase de 2 horas (materiales incluidos, bebidas no incluidas) o de 30€ por 4 clases. Vente y hablamos. Rafa. \-\-\-\- Hi! Every day there are new ways to learn Spanish, (or any language) new apps, grammar methods, AI, teachers explaining things on videos, and they are all great. If they help you to understand more and to speak better, they are great. The main plan in this group is to improve your Spanish with games, real activities and exercises to speak more. All the games and activities are a good excuse to correct the most difficult/ frequent mistakes: Difficult words, confusing past tenses, prepositions, verbs that mean many things, ser and estar in the past, sentences with two or more verbs, subjuntive, colloquial expressions, and also “cultural" mistakes: How we, Spanish people, use the language in different situations? People participating are (almost always) very nice, and usually leave very positive reviews of the classes. If the plan fits you, come to practice your Spanish and we'll talk about food, travel, work, culture, Internet, local issues, business, news and many more things. There is a contribution to participate of only €10 per person/2-hour class (materials included, drinks not included) or €30 for 4 classes. Let´s talk. Rafa.

En esta conferencia exploraremos el patrón común que comparten ocho vías distintas de trascendencia, comprendiendo cómo cada una de ellas puede ampliar nuestra percepción, transformar nuestra conciencia y abrir acceso a estados de mayor claridad, lucidez y conexión. Una invitación a descubrir qué significa realmente “pensar con el cerebro completo” y recuperar una forma más profunda, integrada y consciente de experimentar la realidad, más allá de las palabras. **Ponente**: Salva López, músico experto en crecimiento personal a través de la música, es conferenciante internacional y ha publicado tres libros. web: [www.salvarock.es](www.salvarock.es) IG: [instagram salvarock.es](https://www.instagram.com/salvarock.es) **Aportación**: 5€ (costes de sala y organización).

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Join the Columbus AI community for a special event. **Battle of the Personal Agents** is your chance to see what people are actually building with AI agents and personal automation systems. Whether you’re running OpenClaw, Hermes, or a completely custom solution, bring your agent and show the community how it works. We’re interested in real-world implementations: the problems your agent solves, how you use it day-to-day, how it’s hosted and managed, how you built it, and why you’ve chosen to keep using it. Live demonstrations are encouraged, so be prepared to show your code, architecture, workflows, and your agent performing real tasks. This is less about polished presentations and more about sharing practical experience, comparing approaches, and learning from one another. If you’d like to present, please contact Chris Slee (via meetup) before the event so we can allocate enough time for everyone’s demonstrations. Come ready to show what you’ve built, discover what others are doing, and maybe find a few ideas worth taking home. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
