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!

AI is everywhere right now. Every platform, every product, every conversation. But there’s still a huge gap between talking about AI — and understanding what it actually takes to build useful AI-driven functionality in real products. That’s exactly why we’re hosting this after work session at Edument together with Jonathan Worthington. This won’t be another “AI trend talk”. We’ll focus on the practical side of building AI systems: • where AI actually creates value • common mistakes teams make • what changes when moving from prototype to production • how to think about architecture, context handling and scalability • and why concepts like RAG, agents, MCP and responsible AI development matter in practice The goal of the evening is to give developers, architects, tech leads and engineering managers a clearer perspective on what’s happening in AI right now — beyond the hype. If you’re curious about how modern AI functionality is actually being built inside real products and organisations, you’re very welcome to join us.

**Join us for a Copenhagen ServiceNow Developer Meetup focused on migrating to Platform Analytics - and doing it right!** The technical side of this migration is well-documented and honestly not that hard. ServiceNow has done a solid job there. But the real challenge isn't the migration itself - it's convincing the business not to just drag everything across and call it done. This session covers both angles. We'll walk through the technical migration path so you know what to expect, then spend the bulk of our time on the process side: how to help stakeholders evaluate what's actually worth keeping, what a dashboard audit looks like in practice, and how to come out the other side with a cleaner, more maintainable analytics setup. We'll talk about identifying performance offenders, separating operational metrics from KPIs, and breaking up dashboard monoliths so different functions aren't all crammed onto one screen nobody trusts. Benjamin Legarth will join with a more philosophical take inspired by Darrell Huff's classic "How to Lie with Statistics", connecting the book's ideas to how we build and present analytics in ServiceNow. A valuable insight and good reminder that the numbers on your dashboards are only as honest as the choices behind them. **Program** * Welcome & intro * The technical migration path — what to prepare and what to watch out for * Dashboard audit: identifying performance offenders and dead weight * Operational metrics vs. KPIs - why keeping them apart matters * Avoiding monoliths: structure and ownership for dashboards going forward * Q&A and networking **Remember to bring your laptop!** **Grow your network** \- This is a great opportunity to engage with fellow ServiceNow developers\, swap war stories\, and pick up practical ideas you can use the next day\. **Win swag** \- We'll draw winners of cool ServiceNow Developer swag\!

**Josep Maria Pujol** will be leading a hands\-on workshop where we crack open the "black box" of physics engines and build real\-time simulations from scratch — no magic\, just math and intuition\.\| **Josep Maria Pujol - Software Engineer, Unity** We start with the fundamentals — position, velocity, acceleration, and time stepping — building an intuitive sense of how objects move. Next, we tackle collisions, impulse response, and simple rigid body simulation, seeing how objects bounce, collide, and respond to forces in real time. Finally, we explore constraints and stability with Position-Based Dynamics (PBD) and Extended PBD (XPBD), also giving a glimpse into how other more complex physics systems work. Through hands-on exercises, you'll experiment in the Unity Editor, tweaking parameters and instantly visualising the effects — turning abstract physics concepts into interactive intuition and building transferable skills for working with physics engines in games. By the end, you'll understand not just how simulations work — but why they work. **Workshop repo:** [https://github.com/JosepMariaPujol/PhysicsWorkshop](https://github.com/JosepMariaPujol/PhysicsWorkshop) **Program:** 17:30 - Sandwiches, sodas and mingling 18:00 - Welcome 18:10 - Workshop 19:15 (approx.) - Mingling continues 21:30 - Venue closing

**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.
