✨We’re excited to invite you to a new Barrel AI 🐒🐒 event — this one is shaping up to be one of our most epic yet ✨ We’ll be given a presentation and speach by an eminent AI expert and ambassador, **Dr. Michael Green**, alongside our recurring **AI Release Radar**, where we highlight the latest AI/ML releases and news. As always, there will be great opportunities for networking — plus pizza and drinks. This event will also be hosted at our new home for future events: **Fyrtornet / Drivbänken**, right in the heart of Hyllie, Malmö. **📅AGENDA** 17:30 – 17:45 Arrival & initial networking 17:45 – 18:00 Welcome by Barrel AI organizers 18:00 – 18:20 AI Release Radar 18:20 – 19:00 Dr. Michael Green – Talk & Q&A 19:00 – 19:30 Pizza & networking **🚀 THE WARM-UP: AI RELEASE RADAR** Before the demo, we will kick things off with our AI Release Radar and scan the latest happenings in the AI community — LLM drops, AI/ML white papers, and the news that actually matters to AI Engineers & Developers. **🎓 SPEAKER INTRODUCTION** Dr. Michael Green builds AI systems designed to make decisions under uncertainty, using Bayesian machine learning and probabilistic AI—because real-world environments rarely provide perfect information. Models that fail to account for uncertainty often become fragile when deployed in complex settings. He is the founder of two Copenhagen-based AI companies applying these principles where decision-making truly matters: *Alviss AI* and *AI Alpha Lab.* Alviss AI is a marketing science platform that helps organizations optimize advertising, media investments, and growth through a combination of probabilistic modeling and modern machine learning. AI Alpha Lab is a research-driven initiative focused on financial markets and systematic investing, leveraging probabilistic AI and quantitative methods. Their AI-driven fund, trading on Nasdaq, has achieved performance surpassing many index funds. Michael is also a strong advocate for digital and AI sovereignty, with a focus on strengthening EU-driven AI ecosystems—a topic he will also touch upon. 🗣️**TALK DESCRIPTION** At the upcoming Barrel AI event, Michael will take a deep dive into the technical architecture behind his systems, exploring how uncertainty-first and physics-inspired neural networks are applied in high-stakes environments. Financial markets are unforgiving—there are no second chances, no re-runs with a different random seed. In his talk he will tell the story of building the model that now runs AI Alpha Lab’s fund, and the hard lessons learned along the way. It starts, as these things often do, with 36 million going up in smoke 🔥💸.

In May, we are reading [Eurotrash by Christian Kracht](www.goodreads.com/book/show/209567298-eurotrash). **Synopsis** Realising he and she are the very worst kind of people, our unnamed middle-aged narrator embarks on a highly dubious road trip through Switzerland with his terminally ill and terminally drunken mother. They try unsuccessfully to give away or squander the fortune she has amassed from investing in armament industry shares. Along the journey they bicker endlessly over the past, throw handfuls of francs into a ravine and exasperate the living daylights out of their long-suffering taxi driver. The crimes of the twentieth century are never far behind, but neither is the need for more vodka. *Eurotrash* is a bitterly comic, vertiginous mirror-cabinet of familial and historical reckoning. Kracht's novel is a narrative tour-de-force of the tenderness and spite meted out between two people who cannot escape one another.

The CPH AI Hub warmly invites you to join our upcoming workshop on AI in defense and security. On Thursday, 28 May 2026, from 18:00–20:00, we will gather in Copenhagen to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming modern defense, security, and society. The discussion will cover both the technological applications of AI in military settings and the wider societal, ethical, and governance challenges that accompany these developments. Topics of Discussion • The EU and the broader political landscape • Applications of AI in military and defense contexts • Societal and ethical implications of military AI • Opportunities for collaboration with CPH AI Hub This is not intended to be a formal conference with set speakers, but rather an open-ended and informal discussion among people in Copenhagen who share an interest in these topics. Together, we will exchange perspectives, discuss current developments in AI and governance, examine the evolving political context within the EU, and explore opportunities for meaningful collaboration that can positively impact our communities, workplaces, and society more broadly. If you would like to make a presentation during the workshop, feel free to reach out beforehand. **Location** Studiestræde 24 1455 Copenhagen K Upon arrival, please enter the courtyard and turn right. The venue is located upstairs. We look forward to welcoming you!

# Tired of dating apps or surface-level social events? This is different. Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing. Booking happens through our website. 👉 Reserve your spot: [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Optional in-person continuation: same day or within 48 hours depending on the city Most people come alone. People often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real. Sometimes awkwardness turns into ease. Sometimes curiosity turns into chemistry. Sometimes people simply remember what it feels like to actually connect again.

We meet on Saturdays late mornings to have a casual, meaningful conversation on topics of interest to everyone chosen on the spot by majority voting. So please feel free to propose your own topic! Everyone is welcome to talk, but if you prefer to just join and listen, that is perfect too. As the contacted cafés usually only give reservations to eating guests, it is very welcome if you order something to eat during our stay. This is however not mandatory. This event is in English. The exact place can still change.

**Hi everyone!** I’m David, and I’d love to start a social bouldering club for anyone who wants to climb, hang out, and meet new people! I will arrange a meetup climbing event every 2nd week or once a month, at different climbing gyms around the city. The focus is on: • Climbing and challenging ourselves • Being social and building a fun community • Training together – all levels welcome I’ve been climbing for about 1.5 years, so I’m still in my learning phase, but I’m more than happy to help beginners get started and share the basics with anyone who’s new. **We will climb at Blocs and Walls @ 14.00 o’clock.** If people want, we might go for a drink or a bit of food afterwards. There will be a short warm up, focusing on climbing and mobility. If you want to join in on that, otherwise drop in when ever.¨ This time, since it is at Blocs and Walls, I can help people doing robe climb. But we figure that out when we get there :D **What Is Bouldering?** Bouldering is a type of climbing done at low heights — usually up to around 4–5 meters — **without ropes or harnesses**. Instead, there are thick mats on the floor for safety. There is an entrance fee and renting of climbing shoes, which you can rent at the location, and so cloth where you can be flexible. Bouldering is very social — people often help each other, share tips, cheer each other on, and have fun together. It’s perfect for meeting new people while getting a good workout.

Join us for a cosy and playful afternoon at Zoku, in a light-filled rooftop space with views over the city. We’ll be crafting colourful pipe cleaner flowers — tactile, relaxing, and surprisingly satisfying to make. Twisting, shaping, and creating each bloom becomes oddly immersive before you even notice the time passing. Expect good energy, new connections, a bit of laughter, and the kind of creative flow that makes the afternoon feel effortless. Take home your handmade flowers and the feeling of a well-spent afternoon. **Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)

**History** The [Franklin Park Conservatory](https://www.fpconservatory.org/)’s roots trace back to 1852 when the Franklin County Agricultural Society purchased 88 acres of land to host the Ohio State Fair. After the fair moved to its permanent home, the city of Columbus transformed the grounds into Franklin Park in 1884. This transition shifted the space from a temporary event site to a dedicated public green space for the growing community. The park became a central hub for outdoor recreation and early civic gatherings in the neighborhood. In 1895, the landmark Victorian-style Palm House opened its doors, drawing heavy inspiration from the Glass Palace of the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. This iron and glass structure became an immediate icon, housing exotic plants that residents would otherwise never see in the Midwest. It remains the oldest part of the facility and serves as a primary link to the conservatory’s 19th-century origins. For decades, it stood as a singular testament to grand horticultural architecture in Central Ohio. A major turning point arrived in 1992 when Columbus hosted AmeriFlora '92, an international horticultural exhibition. This massive event prompted a $16 million renovation and expansion, adding significantly more greenhouse space and the Dorothy M. Davis Showhouse. The festival put the conservatory on the international map and fundamentally changed its scale and ambition. Following the event, the facility transitioned from a city-run park to a private, non-profit organization. In 2003, the conservatory’s identity was further defined through a long-term partnership with world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly. After a successful exhibition, the Friends of the Conservatory purchased most of the glass installations, creating the largest permanent collection of Chihuly’s work in a botanical setting. These vibrant glass sculptures are now woven throughout the biomes, blending art with nature. This addition helped cement the conservatory as a premier cultural destination rather than just a botanical garden. Recent years have seen the site expand beyond the glass walls to emphasize community engagement and outdoor education. The 2018 opening of the Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation Children’s Garden added two acres of interactive landscape designed for hands-on learning. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company Community Garden Campus also provides local residents with space to grow their own food and learn sustainable practices. Today, the conservatory balances its historic Victorian charm with modern commitments to local ecology and the Columbus community. **Maps of the Conservatory** Here is the [main map](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/franklin-park-zones-scaled.jpg) of the Conservatory grounds. Here's a [map of the areas](https://www.fpconservatory.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/ConstructionMap-2026.jpg) in which the Conservatory has ongoing construction (see below). **Summary** For this event, we'll explore Columbus's highly-rated and very popular Conservatory. As mentioned above, the Conservatory is doing renovations on parts of the facility. These renovations are scheduled to be ongoing until the Fall of next year. Basically, no matter when you go to the Conservatory over the next 18 months, you're going to see some metaphorical orange barrels. So let's just go now. **Tickets and pricing** On the first Sunday of every month, the Conservatory is free for residents of Franklin County and the city of Columbus. You must bring an ID to receive this discount. (Yes, they do check.) Otherwise, tickets are $25.20. Members of the Columbus Zoo (of which I am one) do get a discount on tickets, though I have never actually bought a ticket to the Conservatory (I've always gone on free days). I believe the discount is $4. Parking is always free. If you have additional questions about pricing or whether and for what you qualify, you can reach the Conservatory at 614-715-8000. **Where we'll meet** We will meet just outside the main entrance. I guarantee there's going to be a line. The Conservatory is always popular on free days, and especially in nice weather. **Your GPS is stupid!** Be careful simply typing "Franklin Park Conservatory" in your GPS and going where it tells you. The only way to access the parking lot to the Conservatory is off of Broad Street. Unfortunately, since Google Maps is unable to find its way out of a wet paper bag, it has a tendency to want to take people to a mythical, non-existent Conservatory entrance on Nelson Road. If your GPS does this, just drive to the north side of the Conservatory along Broad Street. Your GPS should then redirect you to the main Conservatory entrance. If your GPS doesn't, then throw your phone away\* and look for the big Conservatory sign on the south side of Broad Street between Nelson Road and Franklin Park West. You also should be able to use the map pin I've provided, below, and it should properly direct you to where you need to drive. \* Don't really do this. **After the event** After stopping to smell the roses, for those that are interested, we'll head to the nearby [Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/) for [drinks](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#draft-list) and [lunch](https://columbusbrewing.com/location/beer-hall/#food-menu). The Beer Hall's actual address is [200 Kelton Ave, Columbus, OH 43205](https://www.google.com/maps/place/200+Kelton+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43205/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x883889a94ac4acad:0xadb2e60240dbc38b?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111) (it's literally just on the south side of the Conservatory). Be sure this is where your GPS is taking you when you use it, as the Brewing Company has a taproom on Harrison Avenue that is *not* what you want for this event. We should be at the Beer Hall by 1 if you can't make the Conservatory and just want to join us for drinks.

**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** Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod. **YouTube Link** https://youtube.com/live/BltmWMH1zG0?feature=share
