Tokratna Podnebna kavarna, že šesta po vrsti, bo posvečena **prilagajanju podnebnim spremembam**. Tudi tokrat bo koncept dogodka sledil preizkušenemu receptu z nekaj uvodnimi krajšimi predstavitvami strokovnjakov in praktikantov s področja, potem pa bo več časa namenjenega debati. Kot prvi govornici bomo imeli na začetku čast prisluhniti **mag. Mojci Dolinar**, ki na ARSO že od začetka razvija podnebne projekcije za Slovenijo na podlagi trendov iz preteklosti in zna iz zapletenih grafov izločiti lekcije za državo in državljane na poljuden način.

Janez Berdavs** na osnovi predstavljene nuje hitrega in celovitega prilagajanja predstavil izzive, ki ji postavlja podnebni zakon za uspešno prilagajanje v Sloveniji. S tem si želimo začeti **široko javno razpravo o tem kaj je cilj prilagajanja v Sloveniji in kako do tja priti**. Z udeleženci bomo na delavniški način zastavili ključne teze in kritike trenutnega sistema s ciljem zasnovati strokovno poljudni članek za objavo v medijih. Vabljeni, da se nam vsi, ki vas to področje zanima, pridružite v sredo, **10\. junija 2026 ob 19\.30**, v prostorih **Info točke Misija 100** na **Pogačarjevem trgu 3.** Prijave zbiramo preko obrazca na spletni strani: https://ipres.si/neprilagojeno-prilagajanje/.

🇹🇷 Ljubljana International: Slow Turkish Aegean Dinner – Rakı, Meze & Soul 📅 Saturday, June 13 ⏰ 19:00 📍 Meyhane Zahir, Ljubljana For one evening, Ljubljana becomes Izmir. We'll gather around communal tables and enjoy a curated selection of authentic Turkish mezes, accompanied by rakı, music, stories, and great company. A meyhane is more than a restaurant. It's a place where strangers become friends, where meals last for hours, and where people come together to share food, culture, laughter, and life. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍽️ THE EXPERIENCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The evening begins with a complimentary welcome glass of rakı and a short introduction to Turkish rakı culture. Together we'll raise a toast before dinner begins. Throughout the evening, a curated selection of authentic Turkish Aegean mezes and dishes will be served to the table for sharing. Our chef will introduce the dishes and explain the traditions behind them. Expect a slow-paced evening centered around good food, meaningful conversations, and genuine hospitality. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍴 FIXED SHARING MENU ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Kurucacık • Köpoğlu • Hummus • Girit Ezmesi • Barbunya Pilaki • Seasonal Salad • Unlimited Toasted Bread • Butter Shrimp • İrmik Helvası (Traditional Semolina Dessert) • 1 Glass of Rakı 💰 Price: €39 per person Additional drinks such as wine, beer, soft drinks, and extra glasses of rakı will be available separately and are not included in the event price. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌱 VEGETARIAN & VEGAN FRIENDLY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ One of the beautiful things about Aegean meyhane cuisine is that many dishes are naturally vegetarian or vegan. Vegetarian guests are already well accommodated, and vegan options can be arranged with advance notice. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎶 THE ATMOSPHERE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The evening begins with soft Turkish fasil and Aegean melodies, creating the feeling of a seaside dinner somewhere between Izmir and Bodrum. As the night unfolds, the music gradually becomes more lively, moving into upbeat Aegean and Balkan rhythms while keeping the focus on conversation, connection, and shared experiences. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 PERFECT FOR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Food lovers • Travelers • Expats and internationals • Locals curious about Turkish culture • People looking for meaningful conversations • Anyone who enjoys slow dining and authentic cultural experiences ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ LIMITED TO 25 GUESTS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ To preserve the intimate atmosphere of a traditional meyhane, attendance is limited to just 25 guests. 👇 HOW TO SECURE ENTRY: You must fill out the Google Form below to claim your seat. Spots are first-come, first-served. Once we hit 25, the list closes. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPgLqvMbIxJaLhLK2HHISfufLPSYoY7R4RYX4xjY1ipt2JZg/viewform?usp=publish-editor Come hungry. Come curious. Come ready to share.

**The Behavior Gap: Where Products Win or Lose** Teams today have more data than ever, and yet many still struggle to understand why customers adopt, engage with, or abandon their products. Teams sprint, ship faster, and chase more signals… all while metrics stall and confidence drops. The missing piece isn’t more data. It’s often the behavioral insight between the metrics, explaining why the numbers move in the first place. Dashboards can tell you what customers did, but understanding why they did it (and how to influence what they do next) requires a deeper blend of insights. This session is about closing that gap. Drawing from real-world experience designing and scaling products as [ZoCo Design](https://zocodesign.com/)’s CEO, [Lacey](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) will share how to cut through the noise and identify the insights that actually change behavior—moving people, and moving metrics. You’ll learn: * Why understanding customer behavior is a quant and qual challenge * How to spot the signals that actually predict behavior change * Where AI accelerates insight, and where it creates distraction * How to get meaningfully closer to customers, without adding more tools This talk reframes how to evaluate performance and identify what levers actually improve it, helping your team to make smarter bets with greater confidence. Every meaningful outcome is driven by behavior change. And when you know how to design for behavior, you stop guessing, and start building things that work. **About Our Speaker** [Lacey Picazo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laceypicazo/) is the Founder and CEO of ZoCo, a healthcare product studio that turns complex, high-stakes ideas into products that drive real-world adoption. She partners with healthcare organizations to uncover critical care delivery insights, focus product strategy through behavior design, and build solutions that patients and providers actually use.
