Munchkin Card Game

Building a great product isn’t just about adding new features. It is about having the discipline and clarity to decide exactly what not to build. At this meetup, we will dive into how product leaders make high-stakes prioritization decisions in two entirely opposite environments: a massive global enterprise and a fast-moving, VC-backed AI startup. **The Speakers & Contexts** **Andraž Zvonar,** Founder & CEO at KatalistAI – A fast-growing AI platform that automates professional video production from script to screen. The company recently secured $1.5 million in VC funding from South Central Ventures and already boasts over 300,000 registered users worldwide. Andraž has been a product manager before starting KatalistAI. **Matej Kern Meglič**, Product Manager at Teads – Representing a global media and adtech giant operating one of its core European engineering hubs right here in Ljubljana. With over 40 Product Managers collaborating worldwide, Matej will share how they manage massive corporate roadmaps and balance endless competing demands without creating organizational deadlock. **What We Will Cover** * We’ll skip the textbook theories and dive straight into the messy reality of product operations: * Planning vs. Chaos: Structured roadmaps vs. early-stage startup agility. * The Reality of a Pivot: What shifting directions actually looks like under pressure. * Operations & Legacy Debt: Managing technical debt, iteration speed, and structured agile vs. pure ad-hoc teamwork. * The Art of Saying NO: Standing your ground against corporate stakeholders, enterprise clients, or demanding VC investors. **Event Details** Where: Gecko HRM, Letališka 32, Ljubljana When: 16 June, 18.00-21.00 Vibe: Fireside chat, open audience Q&A, and informal networking with pizza and drinks.

Ciao! Dopo WordCamp Torino e WordCamp Europe abbiamo fatto del nostro meglio per organizzare il nostro incontro, anche se con un po' di ritardo. L'appuntamento di giugno è per **martedì 16 alle 19**, **sempre al Politecnico di Milano ma in una nuova sede:** **Via Edoardo Bassini, 6 / Edificio 41** **Link Google Maps:** https://maps.app.goo.gl/WxQp1JNsqSXWRDRQ8 Ed ecco il talk di questo mese: **WordPress 7.0 ed il suo nuovo client AI** I pericoli del nuovo Client AI di WordPress: "da grandi poteri derivano grandi responsabilità", ma qui non tutti sembrano rendersene conto. La decisione su quale modello usare e quale tetto di token imporre è delegata interamente al plugin, via codice, senza alcun limite globale lato amministratore. Tradotto: un plugin scritto con leggerezza, che non limita i token in uscita o preferisce di default un modello costoso, può bruciare cifre importanti a tua insaputa, e te ne accorgi solo leggendo la fattura. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Saremo in diretta streaming Non puoi partecipare di persona? Noi non ti giudicheremo! :) Se vuoi, puoi seguirci anche in diretta streaming su YouTube. Il link sarà visibile solo una volta che avrai fatto la tua iscrizione all'evento. Durante la diretta, se vorrai, potrai intervenire anche tu usando una webcam e un microfono per dire la tua: basterà usare il link che verrà fornito via chat. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- In breve, ecco come sarà organizzata la serata: 19:00 Benvenuto + networking 19:20 Panel (di circa 50 minuti) 20:10 Domande e risposte 20:30 Fine; Chi vuole può continuare il networking in un bar o pizzeria vicino al luogo dell’evento. All’inizio dell’incontro faremo il conteggio per prenotare: per non creare disguidi conferma la presenza solo se sei sicuro di venire. Networking significa che ci sarà tempo per chiacchierare con chi partecipa e fare amicizia. Potresti trovare una persona interessante, un futuro cliente, un futuro fornitore o un nuovo partner di lavoro, chi può dirlo? Non riesci a venire, o devi dare la tua disdetta? Nessun rancore, sarà per la prossima. Ti chiediamo solo di farci sapere 24 ore prima così - liberiamo il tuo posto per altre persone. Vuoi essere speaker? Beh, nulla di più facile: Compila il modulo [cliccando qui](https://wpmilano.org/speaker-form/). Ti risponderemo per fornirti tutti i dettagli. Ci vediamo lì! 😉

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~20 per person. Soft drink refills are 1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group! The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play. Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes. We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area. Parking can sometimes fill esrly. There is additional parking lot behind the neighboring Mexican restaurant that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
