SLO: Stopite stran od ekranov in uživate na soncu! Z veseljem vas vabimo na Slovenia Game Dev piknik, ki bo potekal v soboto, 30. maja, na RIC SAVA piknik prostorih v Ljubljani. Družili se bomo na Piknik prostoru #9 med 14.00 in 20.00. Odlična priložnost za klepet z drugimi razvijalci, izmenjavo idej ali preprosto uživanje na prostem. Če imate zložljiv stol, priporočamo, da ga prinesete s seboj, da si zagotovite udoben prostor za sedenje. S seboj lahko prinesete tudi kakšne igre za na prostem, kot so frizbi ali žoge, da bo vzdušje še bolj zabavno. Da bomo lažje organizirali hrano in pijačo, potrebujemo čim bolj natančno število udeležencev: prosimo, označite "pridem", če zagotovo pridete. Komaj čakamo, da se skupaj podružimo, povežemo in uživamo v sproščenem popoldnevu! ENG: Get ready to step away from the screens and soak up some sun! We are excited to invite you to the Slovenia Game Dev Picnic on Saturday, May 30th, happening at RIC SAVA piknik prostori in Ljubljana. We will be hanging out at Picnic Space #9 from 14:00 until 20:00, making it the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow devs, talk shop, or just enjoy the outdoors. If you have a foldable chair, we highly suggest bringing it along to ensure you have a comfy place to sit, and feel free to bring any outdoor games like frisbees or balls to keep the energy going. To help us with food and drink procurement, we need an estimated headcount: please react with a "Attend" if you are definitely coming. We can't wait to see you all there for a great afternoon of networking and relaxation!

## 🤝 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. ###

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving." The film continues John Carney’s “long run of success with yet another charmer” and “a sharp, hopeful crowd-pleaser that strikes the right notes!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus, this is a perfect early stop on our Summer of Ice Cream! Their menu uses made-from-scratch recipes in an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, crepes, waffle sticks, specialty coffee & espresso, and more! Their specialty shakes are as delicious as they are over-the-top and they offer an extensive vegan menu! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php) PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 6:45pm showing and we’ll meet in the upstairs lobby between 6:25 and 6:35pm!
