**When everything can be generated, what makes a brand truly stand out?** As templates, stock visuals, and AI-optimized content flood our feeds, much of today’s visual communication starts to look generic and interchangeable. When everything becomes easier to produce, standing out becomes harder. The challenge is no longer creating more content. It’s creating communication that feels distinctive, human, and memorable. In this keynote, Zürich-based illustrator and creative director **Ingeborg Schindler**, founder of Hello Ingeborg, explores how handcrafted illustration can bring attitude, personality, and differentiation back into brand communication. With over 25 years of experience in international creative agencies across Europe, she now works at the intersection of illustration, design, and brand management. Her colorful, narrative visual language combines clarity with joie de vivre, resulting in distinctive visual concepts with strong recognition value for renowned brands such as Deutsche Bahn, BMW, Confiserie Sprüngli, Condé Nast, Paul Smith, ARTE, RTL Group, and Deloitte. Join us on **April 2** as she shares international examples showing how illustration builds trust, adds emotional depth, and makes complex ideas easier to understand. **💡 What will you learn?** * How brands become distinctive through illustration, * Why illustrated communication builds trust and closeness, * How illustration reduces complexity without oversimplifying content, * How to create a visual language competitors can’t easily replicate. *About Hello Ingeborg* [www.ingeborgschindler.com](https://www.ingeborgschindler.com/) *Follow Ingeborg* [LinkedIn](www.linkedin.com/in/ingeborgschindler/) · [Instagram](www.instagram.com/ingeborgschindler/) —— **📍 Where?** [Kulturhaus Helferei](https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJuPTcLTmihXxHyn9), near the Grossmünster in Niederdorf. \> Kirchgasse 13\, 8001 Zürich (Tram-Station Helmhaus) **📅 When?** Thursday, April 2, 6:30 PM / 18:30 Uhr **⏰ What’s the schedule?** 6:30 PM → Doors open 6:45 PM → Keynote + Q&A 7:30 PM → Networking 🔗 **Discord link** Get event reminders and connect with other members on Discord: ➡️ [discord.gg/PAyRBDhKkk](https://discord.gg/PAyRBDhKkk) —— **Who’s Visual Fields?** Visual Fields is a network of designers and creatives built for people to connect, support, and share with fellow experts.

Hares (someone to set the route) are **PoleHerBear** and **Dr N.O.B.** Come join us! **PoleHerBear** cleverly spun a concoction of Moon fases, Hare names both given and earned to christen ZH3 #1717. Please pheel compelled to join in the phestivities in the welcoming community of Urdorf which is but a single zone beyond 110. The bag drop is a Mobility Car in the parking lot of the Glanzenberg Station. **Where**: See location. Typically within Zurich Zone 10. Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers all you can drink beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) plus snacks afterwards. **All Welcome:** If you are new, curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group, physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour is useful. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes each event (along with location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with flour marks) so that everyone reaches the end at the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • **After Trail**, we group for \~20-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This '*Circle*' is typically outside, so leave something warm in your bag in winter (and bring a flashlight when it's dark). If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We occasionally all go to a restaurant afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and 'traditions' can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

< \* \* \* English version below \* \* \* > DE UPDATE 25.3.: Die Graphische Sammlung (s.u.) ist über das Osterwochenende geschlossen. Das Wetter soll aber wohl kalt bleiben. Also gehen wir "eine Türe weiter" in die Archäologische Sammlung der Uni-Zürich. Dort warten jede Menge Abgüsse historischer Statuen um von uns gezeichnet zu werden. Stühle gibt es dort zum Ausleihen. Der Eintritt ist frei. Falls es doch schönes Wetter hat, bleibt immer noch die Polyterrasse. Wir treffen uns drinnen im Museums-Foyer. ENDE UPDATE Da es am ursprünglichen Termin (29.3.) noch einmal richtig kalt und ungemütlich werden soll, verschieben wir unser nächstes Treffen um eine Woche, d.h. auf das Osterwochenende. Und weil der erste Sonntag im Monat dieses Mal auf den Ostersonntag fällt, treffen wir uns ausnahmsweise am Samstag. Das passt gut, denn in der Graphischen Sammlung der ETH Zürich eröffnet gerade eine spannende neue Ausstellung: «Gletscher & Stromschnellen. Gezeichnete Schweiz um 1800». Gezeigt werden Werke aus dem reichen Bestand an Schweizer Handzeichnungen des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts, darunter Aquarelle, Gouachen, Studien und wissenschaftlich geprägte Darstellungen der Alpen. Die Ausstellung zeigt, wie das Bild der Schweiz um 1800 geprägt wurde – mit Gletschern, Gebirgslandschaften und dramatischen Naturmotiven, die auch heute noch stark wirken. Bei gutem Wetter können wir stattdessen aber auch draussen zeichnen, beispielsweise auf der Polyterrasse mit einem Blick über die Altstadt. Wir treffen uns in jedem Fall drinnen vor dem Eingang zur Ausstellung der Graphischen Sammlung. Mehr Infos zur Ausstellung findet ihr hier: https://gs.ethz.ch Bitte bringt euer eigenes Zeichenmaterial mit. Keine Vorkenntnisse nötig. Wir skizzieren rund 2 Stunden, allein oder in kleinen Gruppen, ganz entspannt. Danach treffen wir uns wieder, zeigen unsere Sketches und machen ein Gruppenfoto. Als Leitfaden dienen die Werte der Urban Sketchers: https://urbansketchers.org/de/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- EN UPDATE 25 March: The Graphische Sammlung (see below) is closed over the Easter weekend. However, the weather is expected to remain cold. So we’ll head ‘one door down’ to the University of Zurich’s Archaeological Collection. There, plenty of casts of historical statues are waiting for us to sketch them. Chairs are available to borrow there. Admission is free. If the weather turns out to be nice after all, we can always head to the Polyterrasse. We’ll meet inside in the museum foyer. END OF UPDATE As the weather is set to turn properly cold and unpleasant again, we are postponing our next meetup by one week to the Easter weekend. And since the first Sunday of the month falls on Easter Sunday this time, we will meet on Saturday instead. That works out rather well, because the Graphische Sammlung at ETH Zurich is opening an intriguing new exhibition: “Glaciers & Rapids. Drawn Switzerland around 1800.” It presents works from its rich holdings of 18th and 19th century Swiss drawings, including watercolours, gouaches, studies and scientifically informed depictions of the Alps. The exhibition explores how the visual image of Switzerland was shaped around 1800, through glaciers, mountain scenery and dramatic natural subjects that still resonate today. For sketchers, this promises compelling lines, tonal values, compositions and the question of how landscape can be staged through drawing. If the weather is fine, however, we can also draw outdoors instead, for example on the Polyterrasse with a view over the old town. In any case, we’ll meet indoors in front of the entrance to the Graphic Collection exhibition. More information about the exhibition can be found here: https://gs.ethz.ch Please bring your own drawing materials. No prior experience required. We sketch for about 2 hours, solo or in small groups, at an easy pace. Afterwards we regroup, share our sketches and take a group photo. As always, we follow the Urban Sketchers values: https://urbansketchers.org/who-we-are/#mission/ #uskzurich

*Sometimes, the best exploration happens not in new places but in new company: an unexpected conversation, a perspective you hadn't considered, a way of moving through the world that resonates with your own, or a brand new one that leaves you thinking differently.* 🌿👥💬 This social evening hopes to offer that kind of discovery. The idea of the event is to spend a few hours without a fixed agenda in the company of people who share a care for animals and a curiosity about plant-based living, and to use the opportunity to build new friendships. **📝🎯Plan and Venue**: Spring is here, and this month we are taking the meetup outside to make the most of the season. We will meet in front of the Opera House and take a walk along the lake from there, picking up drinks 🍹along the way before finding a nice spot to sit together. At 19.30, we will head to Tibits Seefeld for dinner🍽️. **What to expect** 🌿 **Open, unhurried conversations** and the chance to meet people you might not otherwise cross paths with — regardless of whether you come to share, to listen, or simply to spend a pleasant evening outdoors. 🌍 **A growing, welcoming community and new friendships**— Be part of growing community of people drawn to a kinder and more considered way of eating and living. **You don't have to be vegan to join:** This community brings together people at all different points in that journey. Some have been vegan for years, others are in the middle of exploring what it means for them, and some are attending out of genuine and newfound curiosity. What unites us is a shared care for animals and a thoughtfulness about how we live. Above all, we emphasize kindness, open-mindedness, mutual respect, and non-violent communication.💛 Join the WhatsApp group for easy coordination: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LZcfTMmImN57wXszXVlSpH?mode=gi_t

**Überempfindlichkeiten, Entwerten, Angriffigkeit und Vermeiden stören das Vertrauen in den Menschen: Wie schaffen wir ein selbstbestimmtes und friedliches Zusammenleben?** Ablauf: Kennenlernen: 9.00 je 4 Module: 9.15- 11.00, 11.30- 13.00, 15.00 – 16.30., 17.00 – 18.30 Wie schön ist ein friedliches Zusammenleben. Wer wünscht sich das nicht? Und wie oft sind wir enttäuscht von uns oder unseren Mitmenschen, dass wir uns trotz grossem Einsatz verpassen, uns missverstehen oder sogar im besten Freund einen Gegner oder sogar Feind erleben - und ihn entsprechend schlecht behandeln. Leider sind die meisten Menschen nicht sehr gut darauf vorbereitet, sich mit anderen ein Leben einzurichten, in dem man sich immer besser kennenlernt und versteht. Oft fühlen sich Menschen viel zu schnell gedrängt, dem anderen auszuweichen, sich zu distanzieren, den anderen innerlich als unwichtig zu erklären oder gar so zu tun, als ob man sich nicht mehr für den anderen interessiert. Es kann aber auch sein, dass einem nichts Besseres einfällt als den anderen zu entwerten, ihn direkt anzugreifen oder emotional gezielt zu verletzen. Wie man die Menschen und die Welt spontan erlebt, empfindet und beurteilt entsteht ganz unbewusst in den ersten Lebensjahren. Ein Kind deutet, wie es mit anderen umgehen kann und muss und ob und wann es anderen vertrauen kann. Dabei entstehen viele Fehldeutungen wie Überempfindlichkeiten, die sich darin zeigen, wie schnell und wann sich ein Menschen von anderen gesehen fühlt und was er unternehmen muss, um vom anderen eine Reaktion zu erhalten. Je schneller ein Mensch glaubt, entwertet zu werden, umso weniger kann er seine Beziehungen positiv gestalten. Je verbundener sich ein Mensch fühlen kann, umso aufgeschlossener ist er und kann mehr Vertrauen zu anderen entwickeln. Im Seminar legen wir den Schwerpunkt auf folgendes: Je mehr Einblick die Teilnehmer bekommen, welche Motive den verschiedenen Gefühlslagen zugrunde liegen und wie diese entstanden sind, desto wohlgesonnener erleben sie die anderen Menschen. Falls dies dem Einzelnen gelingt, kann er dem anderen gegenüber offener und zugewandter sein, hört leichter zu, freut sich an ihm, empfindet weniger Gegensätzlichkeiten und erkennt leichter Gemeinsamkeiten. Die Blickrichtung auf die Menschen und die Welt verändert sich. So kann es beglückend werden, frei und selbstbestimmt mit anderen zusammenzuarbeiten. Selbstbestimmt leben beinhaltet dann, dass man seinem Misstrauen und seinen Fehldeutungen aus der Kindheit nicht mehr ausgeliefert ist. Das gilt für persönliche Beziehungen und für ein friedliches gesellschaftliches Zusammenspiel. Wir sprechen darüber, wie dies aussehen kann. Ich freue mich auf einen erkenntnisreichen, gefühlsverbundenen gemeinsamen Tag.

**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.

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.
