With AI dominating every conversation, it’s becoming harder to separate real business value from hype. In this roundtable, we’ll explore how AI is actually used in modern analytics (beyond chatbots and flashy demos). Our special guest, Dr. Pawel Kampczyk, Head of AI & Data Science at Aktiia, will uncover where large language models and machine learning make a real impact, where their limits are, and how companies can use them with confidence. You’ll leave with a clearer mental model of how AI is used in marketing and analytics today. What to trust, what to double-check, and where it can drive measurable value for your business. The Analytics Roundtable will as always take place at the Advance Metrics office at the On Labs Tower in Zurich at Förrlibuckstrasse 190.

New developers spend weeks reverse-engineering codebases, architecture lives in people’s heads, and wikis quietly decay into noise. With AI now entering the picture, many hope it will fill the gaps. It won’t. I’ll show the simple ideas that change everything: how to think about documentation in the right levels, how to keep it close to the code, and how to avoid the decay we all know too well. These are the decisions that have to be made before any tool or process can work. The documentation won’t write itself. But there are ways to make it far easier and far more reliable. 19:40 \~ 20:00 *Marco Gähler* **How to write good code** There is an infinite amount of solutions how you can solve a programming problem. Some are better, others are worse. The best solutions are easy to understand, maintain and errors are not able to hide. I wrote a book "Software Engineering Made Easy" about this topic and I'm more than happy to explain some principles that make your code better. Most of them are quite simple to understand, once you understand the mechanics, why your code always breaks. 20:00 onward More drinks & chat We look forward to see you there!

**WordPress Update – live in Bern** WordPress 6.9 ist gut abgehangen, und der nächste Release steht vor der Tür. Wir teilen unsere Erfahrungen: Was ist neu, was funktioniert gut, was weniger. Ausserdem werfen wir einen Blick auf 7.0 und das, was uns erwartet. Wir diskutieren locker über neue Funktionen und Blöcke. Monique, Ulrich, Gerd und Stefan gehen die wichtigsten Neuerungen gemeinsam durch. Kein Vortrag. Ein lockeres Gespräch. Mit Meinung, Erfahrung und Praxisbeispielen. Egal ob Einsteiger oder Profi: Komm vorbei, hör zu, misch dich ein. WordPress lebt vom Austausch. Genau darum geht es an diesem Abend. Die Änderungen in den verschiedenen Versionen findest du hier: [https://wordpress.org/news/category/releases/](https://wordpress.org/news/category/releases/) Das WP-Meetup Bern findet vor Ort im Impact Hub Bern statt. Zusätzlich bieten wir einen Livestream an. Für alle, die in Bern vor Ort sind, gibt es wie immer im Anschluss Zeit für Austausch, Networking und weitere WordPress-Fragen.

**About the talk** Legal topics are often treated as something that comes after design, product, or branding. In reality, every UX decision, every deliverable, and every shipped product already creates legal consequences, whether we notice them or not. In this talk, [Neena Kaiser,](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nskaiser/) [Ryccardo d' Alessio](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryccardo-d-alessio-684337123/), and[ Tadas Zukas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drtadaszukas/) explore the intersection of Legal × UX × Product × Personal Brand, focusing on real situations designers, founders, and builders face every day. Rather than legal theory or scare tactics, the session is grounded in concrete cases: ownership of design work, intellectual property pitfalls, client conflicts, branding protection, and the moments where teams realize too late that legal clarity should have been part of the process from day one. Through a live case example from Do Your Order, the speakers will show how legal thinking can actively support product growth and marketing instead of slowing it down. The session also introduces Juriscope, a legal-orientation tool designed to bring clarity to complex legal questions, demonstrated live using real UX- and product-related scenarios. T**he talk will also open space for discussion and feedback:** how legal tools should be designed, what designers actually need from legal support, and how we can make legal experiences more transparent, accessible, and human. **\-\-\-\> This will be an open space\, bring questions you would like the experts to Answer\.** **Expect practical takeaways** you can immediately apply to your own work, whether you’re freelancing, building products, scaling a startup, or shaping your personal brand shared through real cases, real trade-offs, and honest conversations. **About the speakers** [Neena Kaiser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nskaiser/) Managing Partner at Juriscope and Global Transformation Leader. Neena shapes how emerging technologies become shared infrastructure. Her work sits at the intersection of law, technology and human-centered systems. She focuses on how responsibility, authorship, and trust are designed, distributed and sustained. [Ryccardo d' Alessio](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryccardo-d-alessio-684337123/) Founder of Do Your Order. Ryccardo brings a founder’s perspective on building products, brands, and businesses and the legal blind spots that often appear when ideas move from concept to market. [Tadas Zukas](https://www.linkedin.com/in/drtadaszukas/) Senior Legal Counsel, CSP Senior Fellow, author specializing in sustainability, transition and impact finance. He will talk about his personal practical lessons learned from his real-life experiences at top tier global business organizations as a user of LegalTech tools and creator of legal content.

Every year the Zurich Friends of Haskell meet for a general assembly as per the [statutes of the association](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-8eHAK40hiH5jv79AscWtf3pyUNxx4Ls1LwkpLYK--8/edit?usp=sharing). The purpose of the Zurich Friends of Haskell is to organize ZuriHac and the HaskellerZ meetup. The general assembly gives you the opportunity to learn what the association has been doing in the year 2025 and to contribute to ZuriHac, the HaskellerZ meetup, and the Haskell community in Zurich. The general assembly is open to all members of the ZFoH. If you are not a member yet, please head over to [the ZFoH website](https://zfoh.ch) and sign up for membership. The agenda is as follows: 1. The board will present a summary of the association's activities in 2025. 2. The treasurer will present the financial report for 2025. 3. We vote to discharge the board for their work in 2025. 4. We will discuss the goals and aspirations of the association for 2026. 5. We will elect the board for the years 2026 & 2027. Please let us know if you have further topics you would like to discuss. Note: members of the ZFoH will receive a separate invitation via email. Please RSVP to this meetup event anyway so we get an accurate picture of who will be attending. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you at the GA! PS: We'll be holding a regular HaskellerZ meetup right after the general assembly, to be announced as a separate Meetup event. Please RSVP for that event separately once it is announced.

**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 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA

Join us as we get together for a Discount Tuesday / Choose Your Movie event to see your choice of two great films! Option 1 is the dark comedy/drama based on a true story TOW! The film stars Rose Byrne as a homeless Seattle woman how battles a towing company. Option 2 is the off-the-rails, over-the-top, action-comedy-horror THEY WILL KILL YOU! The film stars Zazie Beetz as a woman who answers a help wanted ad to be a housekeeper in a mysterious New York City high-rise not knowing its mysterious past! Here are details, trailers and our plan for this event: TOW: This dark comedy/drama is based on a true story and follows a homeless Seattle woman who fights her way out of "tow-company hell" to reclaim the car that had held her life together after receiving a tow bill for $21,634. The film stars Rose Byrne, Ariana DeBose, Demi Lovato, Octavia Spencer, Dominic Sessa, Elsie Fisher and Simon Rex! The film premiered to solid reviews at last year’s Tribeca Film Festival where critics declared, “TOW is a winner!” It’s “a story of perseverance, heart, and real fight, the kind of small human story we see less frequently these days, but need now more than ever.” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdkpcsuPAhA THEY WILL KILL YOU: A woman takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery. The film is directed by Kirill Sokolov and Zadie Beetz, Myha'la, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham, and Patricia Arquette. The film is being released immediately following its premiere at this year’s SXSW Festival earlier this month. Early reviews say it’s “an adrenaline rush of action-packed fights, tons of blood and gore and plenty of laugh-out-loud moments” and a movie that’s “unafraid to march to its own campy, violent, and clever little drummer!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYqQPiXpi4w PLAN: Not exactly a “Choose Your Movie” event, more like an early show and a late one (or both if you’re feeling sparky)! \* If you’d like to see TOW, please purchase your ticket for the 5:00pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 4:40 and 4:50pm! \* If you plan to see THEY WILL KILL YOU, please purchase your ticket for the 7:45pm showing and meet in the upstairs lobby between 7:25 and 7:35pm! \* Tickets for both films on sale now and advance purchase is advised! Tickets just $5.00 ($6.50 after online fees when purchased via the GFC website). Once you have yours, please list your movie of choice and seat number in the Comments section of this event. \* Also, as a reminder, close, convenient parking available in the nearby garage (Between 9th and 11th, just off High) and just $2 when you have your ticket validated at the theater! Look forward to seeing you there, Dan

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
