**About the talk** Conversational assistants aren’t “just another feature”. They are full experiences shaped by countless design decisions that must hold up in real life: messy inputs, high expectations, edge cases, and the constant tension between speed, quality, and cost. In this talk, Gea and Alberto share what they’ve learned while designing AI-enabled assistants in different contexts (from support to retail-like journeys). Instead of focusing on hype or theory, they’ll unpack the practical choices that make the difference: how to keep conversations actionable, how to design a consistent “voice” without overdoing personality, how to define (or intentionally limit) the assistant’s identity, and how the interface and the underlying logic need to evolve together. They’ll also touch the less glamorous, but most decisive parts of the work: when AI is the right tool (and when it isn’t), why data is the elephant in the room, what “testing” means in conversational design, and how to guide users so the assistant is easy to understand and hard to misuse without overwhelming them. Expect a set of clear takeaways you can reuse with your own team, whether you’re starting from scratch or improving something already in production, shared through real design trade-offs, not spoilers. **About the speakers** [Gea Sasso](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gea-sasso/) is a Senior Service Designer at Sketchin focused on service experiences where journeys, touchpoints, and contexts come together.

Liebe Filmliebhaber **15.45 Kochen** **17.15 Essen, um Freundschaften aufzubauen und zu pflegen** **19.00 Film privat anschauen** **21.15 Besprechung** Das Drehbuch stammt von Sönke Wortmann, Rochus Hahn, Regie führte Sönke Wortmann Wir freuen uns über jeden, der kommen kann und Freude am gemeinsamen Besprechen hat. **Handlung:** 1954, 9 Jahre nach dem Ende des 2. Weltkrieges, gewinnt Deutschland überraschend die Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft in der Schweiz. Ein Krieg kann nur geführt werden, wenn der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit und Bedeutung auf etwas Höheres ausgerichtet wird - wie eine Nationalität, eine «bessere» Kultur oder die Rettung einer abstrakten Weltsicht. Der Mensch wird missbraucht und funktionalisiert: Er unterwirft sein Leben und sein gesamtes Fühlen, Denken und Verhalten einer scheinbar guten Sache und gibt sich dabei selbst und die Mitmenschlichkeit ganz auf. Dies ist nur möglich durch eine Erziehung, in der der einzelne Mensch sich unbedeutend, ausgeliefert und weitgehend unverbunden empfinden lernt. Der einzelne Mensch hat dann nicht erlebt und glaubt nicht daran, dass er sein Leben selbst beglückend aufbauen kann - zusammen mit anderen. Er fühlt sich nur bedeutungsvoll und entwickelt Hochgefühle, wenn er zu einer höheren Aufgabe auserkoren wird. In dieser Verwirrtheit der Gefühle lässt er sich sogar auf die Schlachtbank führen und opfert voraussehbar seine Familie, Ehepartner, Kinder, Freunde, Beruf, Gesundheit oder das Leben und sein Hab und Gut. Wenn das angestrebte Höhere durch einen Krieg verloren geht, fühlt er sich gedemütigt und erniedrigt - statt vom Elend befreit. Statt der Friede an sich und das gemeinsame Leben, führte für viele Deutsche erst der Sieg in der Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft wieder zu einem Gefühl, jemand zu sein. Der Film «Das Wunder von Bern» zeigt aus deutscher Sicht die Weltmeisterschaft. Gleichzeitig erlaubt es das Drehbuch, nachzuvollziehen, was der Krieg und die 11-jährige Gefangenschaft eines Vaters für eine Familie, die Familie Lubanski, bedeutet. Die Mutter hatte sich alleine mit ihren 3 Kindern in den verelendeten Nachkriegsjahren durchgekämpft - jahrelang in der Hoffnung, dass sie sich bei ihrem Mann anlehnen und das Leben gemeinsam gestalten könnte. Als der Vater heimkommt, ist er ausgezehrt und psychisch zutiefst beeinträchtigt, voller Ängste aus dem Kriegsgeschehen. Er glaubt, alleine für die Familie zuständig werden zu müssen und alleine wieder das Geld zu verdienen, um seine Frau zu entlasten. Er versucht zudem mit Gewalt in der Familie wichtig zu werden, indem er mit Disziplin eine höhere Ordnung herstellt, in der Zuneigung und Milde nicht vorkommen. Zufällig versteht seine Frau, dass seine Erziehung und all seine unmenschlichen Erlebnisse in Krieg und Gefangenschaft ihn von den Menschen fern halten. Sie verurteilt ihn nicht dafür. Sie erklärt sogar ihren Kindern, dass ihr Vater ein Opfer dieser Kriegstreiberei und Disziplinierung ist und er sich wieder der Menschlichkeit annähern muss. So taucht in seiner Phantasie im ganzen Alltagsleben immer wieder das angsterregende Kriegsgeschehen auf und erschüttert ihn. Seine Frau versteht seine seelischen Verstümmelungen und bringt ihrem Mann einfühlsam eine neue Sicht auf das Leben nahe. Sie vertraut darauf, dass er sich verändern kann und ermöglicht ihm damit, dass er ihnen nicht fremd bleibt und in ein gefühlsverbundenes Leben eintauchen kann. Er kann innerlich mit der Zeit freudvollere Tage aufleben lassen und seine seelischen Wunden mit ihr ausheilen. Im Film ist gut nachvollziehbar, wie er nach und nach liebevoll, verständnisvoll und mitfühlend werden kann. Dies wird besonders deutlich daran, wie er sich seinem Jüngsten annähert, mit dem er die Fussballleidenschaft teilt. Symbolisch kann er seine Tränenlosigkeit überwinden, was seine Annäherung an die Mitmenschlichkeit aufzeigt. Dieselbe Botschaft vermittelt eine Schweizer Putzfrau dem Trainer der deutschen Fussballmannschaft, Sepp Hersperger, der selbst seinen Lieblings-Fussballspieler «gerechterweise» sanktionieren und von der Mannschaft ausschliessen will, weil dieser gegen die auferlegten Regeln verstossen hat. Sie plädiert entschieden für ein anderes Menschenbild: Milde statt Strafe - als Beispiel für einen gefühlsverbundenen Umgang, der auch die Disziplinierung verhindert, durch die Krieg erst möglich wird. Ein weiteres Beispiel für einen immer verständnisvolleren Umgang unter Menschen, zeigt sich anhand eines Sport-Reporters der von der Chef-Redaktor auserkoren wird, von der Weltmeisterschaft berichten zu dürfen, just zur Zeit seiner Hochzeitsreise mit seiner Frau. In berührender Weise löst das Ehepaar diese konfliktträchtige Situation auf, indem er sie um Verständnis bittet für seine Karrieremöglichkeiten. Sie als eingefleischte Anti-Fussballerin aus grossbürgerlichem Haus begleitet ihn sogar zum Proletarier-Sport nach Bern und zeigt ihm damit ihre Liebe. Genauso begeistert er sich für sie, so dass er darauf verzichtet, privilegiert mit dem Zug der Weltmeister mitzureisen, um stattdessen ihre Schwangerschaft zu feiern. Die Drehbuchschreiber Sönke Wortmann und Rochus Hahn zeigen einfühlsam und detailliert viele psychologisch entscheidende Vorgänge auf, die zu einem friedlichen und verständnisvollen Zusammenleben führen. Weitere Daten 2026 für den FIlmabend - immer am letzten Samstag des Monats: 28.3., 2026 25.4., 30.5., 27.6., 29.8., 26.9., 31.10., 28.11., 19.12.

A single broken type can ripple through your entire stack, turning a seamless deployment into a debugging nightmare.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
