**Same stuff, always fun! 😎 🏓** ℹ️ **General info:** Bats (rackets) & balls are provided by the venue (are included in the price). The ping-pong tables have an hourly cost of 8€/hour, per table. Usually we pay 5-6€/person for the whole 1.5 hours. PLEASE, bring some cash on you, unless you have Revolut or IRIS (nope, a 50€ euro bill does not count). 🚗 🚌 **Location**: The venue cannot be reached by metro, so you have to either take a bus or **carpool** with any attending member that will arrive via car. ℹ️ Bus options should be fairly good, since the venue is next to a big amusement park & a mall. ℹ️ Personally, I'll always be coming via car, so I'll have 4 available spots in my car. I can pick you from: * **Egaleo** metro station, blue line, * **Sepolia** metro station, red line, * **Pallini** metro/train station ❗️ If you plan to attend via car and are willing to carpool people, please let me/us know in a PM or event discussion! ❗️ People getting carpooled should be in the agreed location **5 minutes earlier**, so that the driver is not made to wait! No excuses, just be on time (or else people won't offer to carpool any more in the future 😑)! OPTIONAL: Afterwards, we sometimes go at a nearby gyros/fast food restaurant something to eat. ⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️

Hello DDDers, Things are slowly getting back in motion after the Christmas holidays, so it's time to welcome the new year with our next event! [Andreas Maniatakos](https://www.linkedin.com/in/amaniatakos/), Senior Engineering Manager at T-Digital will be the first to take the stage for 2026, with an interesting experience report. [Kostas Stroggylos](https://www.linkedin.com/in/circular) will follow with a discussion on the synergy between DDD and AI. **Talk by Andreas: From Fuzzy to Flawless: A simple framework that transformed a team from task-takers to domain owners** Ever felt stuck in a project where the requirements are vague, the legacy code is a mystery, and the team is just executing tasks without a clear "why"? You're not alone. Our team was handed the classic "modernize the legacy monolith" project, surrounded by organizational chaos and fuzzy goals. Instead of waiting for perfect clarity, we decided to change *how we worked*. In this session, I'll share the story of how we introduced a few key, simple practices and, more importantly, stuck to them with consistency. This wasn't about a magic tool or a top-down direction. It was about empowering the team with a framework that shifted us from being managed to leading, from being generalists to becoming subject matter experts, and from reacting to chaos to driving impact. If you're curious about how practices like a 6-week delivery cycle, collaborative "3 Amigos" sessions, and rotating team facilitation can unlock autonomy and expertise, join us. Learn how we transformed from task-takers to true domain owners, and how you might apply the same principles to navigate your own complexity. **Speaker bio** I’ve spent the last 18 years building software and leading teams, mostly in complex, sometimes chaotic industries like insurance, music, and telcos. I love helping teams do their best work even when the path isn’t clear and taking on messy problems and turning them into opportunities for teams to grow, own their domain, and deliver stuff that matters. Outside of work, you can find me hiking up mountains, attempting to make pottery that doesn’t look like a sad pancake, or traveling somewhere with questionable Wi-Fi. I’m always up for chatting about building great teams, better engineering cultures, or the last concert that blew your mind. **Talk by Kostas:** **Discovering domains in legacy codebases with the help of AI** With AI-assisted software development becoming the norm, we'll discuss what are the challenges when working with legacy code and how AI can help. We'll also explore how DDD can amplify the effectiveness of AI tools when using them to explore existing systems or build new ones. **Meetup Outline** 18:30 - 18:45 Warm welcome 18:45 - 19:30 Talk by Andreas 19:30 - 20:00 Talk by Kostas 20:00+ Networking & Discussions **Sponsors** XM is kindly hosting the event on their premises, which are located only 5' on foot from Megaron Athens. XM ([https://www.xm.com/](https://www.xm.com/)) is an award winning online trading broker firm that serves clients from over 190 countries on 5 continents. It is now an established fintech organisation with core capability of software, platforms and product development. All the best, [DDDGreece meetup team](https://twitter.com/dddgreece).

Join us for our first meetup! We will have a discussion on Fiat vs Bitcoin, a little bit of learning and discussions that are important to the group.

Wouldn't it be great if we could be more educated on ways to beat inflation, have more choices, and be prepared for the changes to come? Please bring your questions, so that we can plan topics for future meet-ups.

This training is designed for real estate agents who want to learn how to play the Agent Investor game. The goal of this training is to help you flip your income into ownership. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Most real estate agents build their business one transaction at a time.** Investors build wealth—and they buy repeatedly. The Investor Decoder shows why serving investors is the fastest path to predictable income, repeat deal flow, and a higher-value role in real estate. In this session, you’ll learn how to identify and serve the four core investor profiles that drive the majority of investor activity: * The Flipper – speed, volume, and clear exits * The Landlord – long-term cash flow and stability * The Creative Investor – complex deals and problem-solving * The Private Lender – capital partners who enable scale You’ll discover how each profile thinks, what they value most, and what they expect from an agent—so you can position yourself as a trusted advisor instead of just another salesperson. We’ll also cover: * Why investors represent a massive opportunity in today’s market * How working with investors elevates you to a Real Estate Wealth Advisor * The key questions that quickly decode investor goals and timelines * A clear action plan to start building your investor pipeline If you’re ready to escape the transaction treadmill and earn more by working with investors, this session will show you how. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Did you miss it?** [Watch all GRID Reston event playback on YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTh5kxLLJI1G3VH6Pqhlhu0uTA8yrdpi) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ **Join the GRID Facebook Community** [Join the online GRID community here](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gridinvestor) to post deals, ask questions, and connect with other investors across the globe.
