Fun Social Monday Evening Run
Come join us for a trail social run, jog, walk!
We are not a typical running club, so please read about the concept in “about us”.
How it works: we don’t know in advance where the trail will go, but we know it will be fun! A member of the club, the 'hare', sets a trail, usually marked with flour. The rest of us, the 'pack', follows the hare's 'scent', i.e., the marks. There will be a 8-10 km trail for runners with shortcuts down to 5-6 km for walkers and those who need a slower pace. We have no set pace - run/walk as slow or as fast as you'd like. After the run we enjoy some refreshments and socialize.
Come a few minutes before the start so that you can say hi and leave your bag in a designated bag car before we set off at 18:30.
Don’t worry if there are few registrations on Meetup. We have existed for 44 years, and a lot of our members (anywhere from 20 to 50 people) just show up.
Four-legged friends are welcome!
We never cancel.
See you there!

ㅤ
F\*ck the Small Talk has traveled the world from Berlin, London, Lisbon, to Buenos Aires, and has landed now in **Copenhagen!** 😎
ㅤ
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is an out-of-the-box **social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in **Copenhagen** every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You'll be guided by an experienced host (Valerie, you'll love her!) who'll make sure everything goes smoothly. 🍭
**🕹 HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/ftst4copenhagen)**

Our events are **limited to 30 handpicked guests** to ensure a cozy atmosphere. **Confirm your spot on the link above** to make it happen! We prioritize a balance of gender and age. If you're invited you'll receive a confirmation within 48 hours via Luma (our ticketing platform)
**NOTE**: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)
**🧧 HOW MUCH IS IT?**
The cost to attend is DKK 150-180, and includes the following:
⏰ 3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
🙌🏽 Access to the Llamas in Copenhagen WhatsApp community
👥 A space to meet new people in the least boring way possible
💛 Supporting our mission to spread human connection events around the world
*(🎫 also includes those annoying ticket fees!)*
**🌳 WHERE IS IT?**
We host our events in awesome cafes/bars and parks across the city. We only **reveal the exact location** upon confirmation.📍 This event will take place in a cool venue near Copenhagen station (in Vesterbro).
**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity **humanity needs every weekend**. Thank you for all.” - *Sonya*
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 "It’s a **wonderful** **experience**, it’s like being a kid again, when you were at the park, playing with other kids, and just decided you were going to be best friends for the next hours. Maybe you’ll never see those kids again. But that hour was amazing because you both opened up and trusted each other." - Sara

**🤓 FAQ**
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, everyone does!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups, yet we like keeping it cozy & only invite around 30 people. Please try again next time if you do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Is this a networking or dating event?**
Nope! Think of us as the *anti-networking* and *anti-speed dating* event. There’s no pressure, no pitches, and no cringy icebreakers. Instead, we create spaces where strangers can connect through fun & meaningful conversations. It’s all about authentic connection, no business cards or romantic expectations required. (doesn’t mean it *can’t* happen, it’s just not the intention!)

🙅♀️📱This event is a no-phone experience. 🙅♀️📱

Thinking about identity, rethinking AI & terminal-first agent experience
**Welcome to .NET Skåne!**
Welcome to the next meetup of .NET Skåne!
This time we have the pleasure of inviting you to Elva11 in Malmö for yet another inspiring evening!
**IMPORTANT**: If you have signed up to the event but can't make for some reason please cancel your spot in good time before the event so the spot is free for someone else to attend.
**Agenda:**
**What I think about when I think about identity**
(Fredrik Mörk)
Who are you, really? Now, this may be one of the large questions in life, and not an easy one to answer. You may not get all the answers in this session, but what you will get is a run through of good things to think about when dealing with identity and users in single-sign on environments. In a mix of theoretical and hands-on examples I will share learnings from implementing single-sign on systems serving multiple services.
**Rethinking AI in software development**
(Aisha Kujovic)
AI is becoming part of everyday development, but 74% of organizations cite security as their biggest concern, and most AI usage already happens outside of IT control.
In this talk, Aisha shares lessons from building Noorlytics and explores what secure AI looks like in practice when you run models locally. When does it work, where does it fall short, and what does it actually mean for real development teams?
**AgenticTerminal**
(Mats Alritzsson)
AgenticTerminal explores a terminal-first agent experience where the user can see, understand, and learn from the agent’s actions instead of having them hidden behind opaque automation. The project combines an interactive terminal UI with a lightweight wrapper model for tracked command execution, using a backchannel to report lifecycle events such as start, completion, exit status, timing, and diagnostic context. This enables more reliable coordination than prompt-detection heuristics while preserving transparent stdin/stdout/stderr behavior. The result is a foundation for agents that are both observable to humans and better informed about the commands they run.
**About the speakers:**
**[Fredrik Mörk](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fmork/)**
Fredrik is a software architect thriving in the borderland between software-, product- and business development. He has written code in Visual Basic. The non .NET kind. Yes, he is that old. He is an occasional conference speaker (DevSum, Øredev and user groups in Sweden and Norway, among others), and a photographer.
**[Aisha Kujovic](https://linkedin.com/in/aisha-uk)**
Aisha is a software engineer, team lead, and founder of Noorlytics AI Tech. She builds developer tools that use AI to analyze code, surface technical debt, and identify risky dependencies, without sending code to external services. Her work challenges the default “just use cloud AI” approach, exploring what happens when you run AI locally instead: what you gain, what you lose, and what actually works in real development environments.
[Mats Alritzson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mats-alritzson-3b96ab20/)
Mats is a software developer with over 20 years of experience across embedded systems, imaging, and cloud-based solutions. He combines deep technical expertise in C#, C++, and modern cloud platforms with a strong focus on agile ways of working and team empowerment. Mats has been involved in projects in industries ranging from logistics and public transport to automotive and consumer software. Mats works as a consultant at [Living IT](https://www.livingit.se).
**Host:**
ELVA11 was founded with a bold idea. To prove that people, culture, and values can scale just as fast as technology. We are a software and AI company with global ambitions – delivering world-class innovation while building a culture that dares to be different.

***SPEAKER BIOS & TOPICS:***
**[Ali Reza Farahnak](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/alirezafarahnak)** is a Senior AI Architect at [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com/), focused on AI, Azure, and GitHub. For the past 7 years he has worked out of Microsoft's Global Customer Success organization in Redmond with some of the world's largest customers, including Tesla, NEOM, the London Stock Exchange, Bank of America, Emirates, Aramco, Maersk, Novo Nordisk, and several governments. Since January 2026, he has been part of Customer Success in Denmark, helping Danish enterprises turn generative AI into production-ready solutions.
Topic: Most enterprise AI apps stop at the chat window, but your customers are on the phone, on WhatsApp, on SMS, in their inbox, and inside Teams. Ali shows how Azure Communication Services lets a single AI app reach customers across all of those channels, with a live demo of an outbound Danish speaking voice agent, similar to what has been built for the insurance industry, Vodafone Qatar, Norlys and many more, that calls a customer, runs a light identity check, and has a real conversation powered by Azure Voice Live and gpt-realtime-1.5.
**[Kræn Hansen](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/kraenhansen)** is a Developer Experience Engineer at voice AI startup [ElevenLabs](https://elevenlabs.io/) where he builds [SDKs](https://elevenlabs.io/blog/elevenagents-react-sdk-v1-0) to enable text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and voice-cloning on the real-time ElevenAgents platform. He formerly worked at MongoDB, building a local-first database and sync engine called Realm. He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
Topic: "We talk to AI every day, but when we switch from typing to speaking, the rules change. A half-second delay breaks the illusion of conversation. In this talk, I'll take you behind the scenes of how voice agents actually work: what makes a voice conversation feel natural, why latency is the enemy, and the different ways you can deploy voice AI, from fully managed platforms to bringing your own AI model. Whether you're building with voice AI or just curious about where it's heading, you'll walk away understanding what's really going on when you talk to a machine."
**[Daniella Feiglin](https://dk.linkedin.com/in/daniella-feiglin)** is a Product Manager at [Tactile](https://tactilegames.com/product-manager-at-tactile/), where she works closely with development teams and stakeholders to turn ideas into fully launched game features. She joined the company in August 2025 and brings nearly a decade of experience in the mobile games industry with a background across game design, market research, and product management. At Tactile, she focuses on using data and market insights to shape product decisions and drive impactful player experiences.
Topic: A practical, honest look at how day-to-day work changed using Claude Code. Daniella will share how she transitioned to an AI-powered workflow that allows her to prototype features as she specs them, while providing consistent, high-detail output for her development teams at a higher pace.
**[Olga Safonova](https://www.linkedin.com/in/olgasafonova/)** is a product leader with 20+ years in enterprise tech, currently Lead PM for [Public 360°](https://www.tietoevry.com/en/industry/public-360-services/360-case-document-and-records-management/) at Tieto (GovTech, 500K+ users). Previously at Siteimprove, Workday, LEO Innovation Lab and Saxo Bank. She also builds: Open-source MCP servers (a few running in production), an OTel observability library for AI tool infrastructure, and SkillCheck (getskillcheck.com). Where most product leaders talk about AI, she ships it on weekends.
Topic: From personal OS to team OS - Agentic skills, MCPs and team context. As product manager, Olga shares how she built her own AI tooling: A personal OS of agentic skills, MCP servers, CLIs, and the cross-machine configurations that keeps it coherent.

Welcome to another exciting evening of NixOS!
If there are no speakers, we just hold a regular hack evening.
Room: Kantine, 1. Sal, PASCAL\*
## Details
Interested in NixOS? Maybe only its package manager Nix? Want to share how you (ab)use Nix(OS) in your own company? Join this NixOS user group meet-up!
Topic will be announced.
*Why NixOS?*
**NixOS The Purely Functional Linux Distribution**
NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager ( nixos.org/nix ), it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages ( nixos.org/nixos/about.html ).
**Declarative**
NixOS has a completely declarative approach to configuration management: you write a specification of the desired configuration of your system in NixOS’s modular language, and NixOS takes care of making it happen.
**Reliable**
NixOS has atomic upgrades and rollbacks. It’s always safe to try an upgrade or configuration change: if things go wrong, you can always roll back to the previous configuration.
Come join us for a cosy night of Nix(OS). There will be pizza, kindly sponsored by PROSA

Quarterly Community Gathering
Join the Columbus AI community for our quarterly gathering — a casual, community-focused evening where everyone has a chance to share, learn, and connect. These open mic–style events give anyone in the community up to **5 minutes** to present a project, share a tool, pose a question, or offer a perspective on the evolving AI space.
No slides required — just a welcoming space to exchange ideas and keep the local AI conversation moving.
If you’d like to take the stage, message \*\*Chris (the organizer)\*\*with a **title and short description** of what you’d like to share.
Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus.
